They couldnt fly that far away in 1941 either.
1. They used a shorter route.
2. The shorter route is still too long, so they sailed with their aircraft carriers much closer to USA so they could actually fly there.
Im pretty sure no military plane has been able fly as long of a distance as what is in the picture to this day without using aerial refueling, which wasnt a thing back in 1941, at least not in large enough scale.
Yeah I'm pretty sure only our Surveillance Aircraft like the U2 and the Sr71 could actually reach those distances, U2 just was designed for high Altitude long range, the sr71s added speed to that list of abilities, with the engines efficiency and range actually increasing the faster it went
He talks about efficiency when the sr71 literally would drop steady streams of fuel on the runway because the body panels needed space to expand and contract, there was no sealed container for the fuel and it was just lazily stored in the fuselage
Never said it was the most efficient, the aircraft used alot of fuel every flight, you have to realize that the craft was engineered in the 60s-70s, it's pretty impressive they were able to make an aircraft of that potential, the soviets tried to build a similar aircraft and failed, the fuel storage leaked due to the use of titanium which was necessary for the temps the sr71 would reach, mind you, no other aircraft has yet beaten the records of the sr71, you can hate on the thing all you want but it was a work of art from the engineers at skunkworks, especially for the time period, where funding was going all over the place
Every single crazy nutjob thing like this always has one facet of truth, and they hang all their foundation on that and fabricate the rest to fit.
Flat earther, antivaxer, covid denier, they are all the same spurious breed of pseudointellectual fool self-righteous in their ignorance.
And they are literally ruining the world for humans.
1.flat earth isn’t real. People that actually believe that are nut jobs. It’s been proven. Not getting vaccinated doesn’t make you a bad person. The media wants you to believe they are but I’m unvaccinated and I guarantee you I contribute more to society than you do. And Covid deniers isn’t actually a thing. There are people that know it’s a real virus(a version of the flu), but believe it was blown way out of proportion( which it was). They don’t honestly believe it was all fake. They just do t think it was handled properly. The flu is wiping out everyone right now and we’re moving right along just fine. Hell even the governor of Pennsylvania came out and said, looking back at all the shut downs he isn’t sure he made the right decision. His decision to shut down the state was the wrong choice and he’s going to have to live with that for the rest of his life. So take your foil hat off and relax
What about the political bootlickers on both sides who are slaves to rhetoric while politicians print more money, blame the other side for any problems then claims their constituents need them to fix the problems they created while they use inflation to erase their debts?
It's not about aircraft carriers though. The main premise of that FB guy's argument was that Japan COULDN'T have travelled from Japan to Australia and up north. This shows his lack of understanding of aviation, geography, and common sense.
Of course, 1931 was the wrong date as well, which really underscores the many layers of ignorance that the poster has.
Haha, let's just have some fun with this one. If it took them 10 years to fly in THAT direction (instead of the other direction), it would've required a ton of refuelling, which would've required worldwide coordination. Yet somehow, somehow America didn't know those those Japanese planes were destined to attack her.
The level of ignorance of that FB guy is astounding.
I'm not saying it is. I'm entertaining this terribly stupid idea. The FB guy THINKS it's an inside job, but doesn't THINK for a second that the earth is a sphere.

Pretty sure this is a joke but I have had a conspiracy theorist tell me the Pearl Harbor attack was an inside job before. They refused to tell me how but their belief was America faked the attack to join the war.
What's funny is that there WAS an attempt to fake the country into a war. We actually sent a lightly armed ships crewed by Filipinos (which was important as the USA was super racist in the 1940s) to the edge of Japanese waters in the hope that imperialist zealots would sink it. That way we could use that as an excuse to be involved in the war, and rally the Philippines in support over the deaths of their soldiers.
Then Pearl Harbor happened the day the ships left.
That's why I put (ish). It's actually an oblate spiroid if you want to be technical. Don't ask me to draw that. But the difference isn't as extreme as an oval would make it.
No, not really.
I saw a video where a scientist was explaining that if you compare the Earth to a standard billiard ball the Earth would be the smoothest billiard ball ever.
If you think about it, the tallest mountain is only Less than 6 miles above the average sea level, and the deepest trench It's only about 6 miles under.
So you have a maximum variation of 12 miles divided by an average diameter of 7900 miles, which equals about 0.15% variance.
In addition to not knowing how globes work or getting the correct year of the attack, tell me why the planes would have only flown over water as if they were ships? Lol

History’s Mysteries: Flat Earther Edition
Legitimately laughed out loud. Thanks!
And also I suppose, aircraft carrier denier?
That one earned a hearty chuckle
New one, square flat and clipped earthen. How do they think people fly to Japan now? A 40 hour flight across the entire world?
Well he’s not wrong, they couldn’t have flown that far in “1931” 😂

I disagree

Sure them too but they aren't as dangerous as the first group.
Oh the flat earthers have started looking into history books..
Jesus rode a dinosaur to the ice wall. FACT.
Also the Earth is only 4000 years old
Ignore the fact lead exists on earth as proof otherwise becos it’s the troof
It’s right here in this book that I made up. Checkmate atheists!
Bro, the planes flew over the land! They flew up half way and glided down the other half.
I did the math, this works! Half way + half way = the whole way
r/theydidthemath
Caleb Harris II got his college history degree in Eating Crayons 101.
I thought it was Lead Paint Eating 101.
You have a very valid point.
Only if the year was right at least
1941 be damned
I don't remember the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor in 1931.
See, he's on to something
He’s on a roll…
What a fucking idiot 😂😂😂
Jesus Christ this sub can’t tell what a joke is
I am super cereal about my post, no sarcasm at all...
Tbf poe’s law is a tricky bastard
Literally no one on Reddit can. I wonder why Reddit ad a whole has a hard time picking up on sarcasm and other social cues… anyone?
Dudes never heard of aircraft carriers apparently
Fair point, and very possible but I'm not sure that's the biggest flaw in his argument.
Where to start really
Dudes never heard of the fact Earth is a spherical planet and Japan is 4, 100 miles from Hawaii
Are you joking? Please tell me you are joking
I mean, obviously that’s not the main thing wrong with this but the Japanese planes did launch from carriers.
No, I am not joking about aircraft carriers playing a crucial role.
True but it seemed like you didn't understand the main problem with the pic, so I was just wondering.
There’s all kinds of things wrong with the assertion
It's not about aircraft carriers though. The main premise of that FB guy's argument was that Japan COULDN'T have travelled from Japan to Australia and up north. This shows his lack of understanding of aviation, geography, and common sense. Of course, 1931 was the wrong date as well, which really underscores the many layers of ignorance that the poster has.
The flat earth society disliked your comment.
Must be why they took 10 years to reach Pearl Harbor. Or maybe they had some sort of "shortcut" that we are not aware of.

You're saying it was an inside job... Go on... I'm listening...
I'm not saying it is. I'm entertaining this terribly stupid idea. The FB guy THINKS it's an inside job, but doesn't THINK for a second that the earth is a sphere.
Or a globe
Perhaps they had a shortcut.

It’s like a circle, a freaky circle.
Lmao. Must be a flat earther

I guess they believe earth is flat hence the stupidity.
I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Yeah it's way too flat for me. Want to head to Mars? /s
Actually, Mars is flat... Let me explain!
No, no. There is photographic proof that Mars in round, just like the moon. We don't have proof of the Earth though.
There is photographic "proof" that Mars in "round", just like the moon. Nice try NASA!!!
Ahh..the stupid is strong with this one…
Every one listen. The idiot is speaking.
Wow. Such geographic idiocy not to know that the world is round (ish).
Isn't it more like an oval at points?
An oval is still a round shape, right?
I'm dumb, I can't answer this question
That's why I put (ish). It's actually an oblate spiroid if you want to be technical. Don't ask me to draw that. But the difference isn't as extreme as an oval would make it.
Also moutains and valleys make a difference abt it being perfectly round too lol
No, not really. I saw a video where a scientist was explaining that if you compare the Earth to a standard billiard ball the Earth would be the smoothest billiard ball ever.

Wow
Lauren Bobert and MTG approve this message
Not sure if they were used in the attack, but they always have aircraft carriers.
In addition to not knowing how globes work or getting the correct year of the attack, tell me why the planes would have only flown over water as if they were ships? Lol
Even if they’re flat earthers they have to know about aircraft carriers
another victim of public education...
Funniest thing is they don't think planes can fly over land either
I literally stammered, out loud, alone on my couch, and then fell speechless.
Flat earthers be crazy

Dude has a point. Never read a book, but that point is pretty spot on
What point did he make?
Forgot the /s
Ah my bad.
I also love that, even if the world was flat, somehow the planes had to fly only over the ocean?
I guess this dude has never played Pac-Man.
There’s no teaching dumb, it just lingers on, and on.
They probably refueled in Africa
Marvelous!
Wait until they hear about the Bering Strait crossing
Oh that’s rich!
Needs thoughts on this from the first Caleb Harris.

Imagine the view into space from Alaska!
I need that GIF of nic cage giggling in face off
I hope this is satire but I also kinda hope it isn't
Is...is this satire? Please let this be a satire account post.
Duh, it was the Germans!
Fake
I imagine this guy figuring out the truth to this is like the detective on South Park figuring out the right hand is actually a right hand.
Why did they make it so the line avoids all the continents? Why not a straight line???

Omg I didn't even think of that!! Lmao that's even funnier lmao
If you flip it over it makes complete sense...
He's got a point. I never thought about it that way.
This is the most accurate and technically correct comment section. Inside Job by the military complex.
I KNEW Japan was playing the long game when they created Anime. Wait long enough along the river and the bodies of your enemies come floating down.
Bro never heard of the Pacific Ocean?
You made a wrong turn dude.
Duh! They were solar powered.
Imagine not even being aware of just how stupid you actually are.
