1-3. This is the official Flat Earth Wiki map. If it is so inaccurate that even the positions of the continents are uncertain, why post it at all? Isn't this as inaccurate as posting a rotating globe on the site?
P.S.I'm still interested to hear the response about jet streams. If they can speed up an airplane in one direction, how come they don't slow it down on the return flight?

You can't debunk something which doesn't exist. Luckily, you can use Google Maps and the distances given on there between cities to demonstrate that no flat earth map is possible as I did here:https://forum.tfes.org/index.php?topic=11747.0It's notable that there has been no FE response apart from Lackey not understanding what I've done.

I've heard "flat-Earthers have an explanation for everything, but they've given up on this question. It seems no amount of mental gymnastics can explain something like this

But just to reiterate, the fact you think my circles are drown in an arbitrary way shows you don't understand what I have done.
Even you gotta admit it is hard to understand BS.
1-3. This is the official Flat Earth Wiki map. If it is so inaccurate that even the positions of the continents are uncertain, why post it at all? Isn't this as inaccurate as posting a rotating globe on the site?4. Which flights don't exist? Sydney to Buenos Aires in particular, or no flights exist at all? Because if Argentina and Australia are actually close, why fake a flight at all?5. Point 5 kind of contradicts point 4. You are saying there are flights, but they are assisted by jet streams. But jet streams go in one direction - shouldn't the flight in the opposite direction be twice as slow?

For the first question, I will predict the reasons for the discrepancy will be the following:1. There is no official FE map and no accepted official model. 2. The exact location of the continents isn’t known. 3. FET has no funding to make an accurate map. 4. Those flights don’t really exist.5. Those planes are flying on jet streams and actually are flying much faster then north of the Equator. Those answers won’t satisfy you I expect. Your second question is a nonstarter as I find little argument the maps are incorrect above the Equator.
You are not the first to ask such questions and you are not the last. How can the distances/flight times/travel times/shipping times/cartography on the wiki map be possible when they don't match the distances/flight times/travel times/shipping times/modern cartography. This has been discussed so many times. I was also VERY curious about it. I got all the responses from a flight time superthread. (Pick any one of your rebuttals from the list below) Here's a link:https://forum.tfes.org/index.php?topic=6633.0
- If all distances and continental positions are unknown, then why proudly post an inaccurate map on your site, if you are a movement founded in opposition to inaccurate maps?

The truth is for you, the interested investigators on this forum, to research.
