Drink lid convinced me I live on a spinning ball, sorry Flat Earthers :(

Yes I'm sorry to say and it's quite ironic actually because I haven't had a Snapple in years. I bought one on sale yesterday and when I read this my heart dropped as I realized all my wasted time researching flat Earth, that I overlooked the most obvious fact, we are spinning faster than the speed of sound! Well I'm not, I'm at around 5-600 mph so I weigh a bit less than people at the equator. It's also harder to stand up straight in Canada because the angle of centrifugal force is different than the angle at which "gravity" pulls you down. Totally makes sense why I'm always tripping, especially close to the equinoxes.

What is a "real fact" and why is it in quotations? Aren't all facts real by definition? Otherwise they wouldn't be a fact in the first place. So what is a fact? A fact is defined as "a thing that is indisputably the case" or "a piece of information used as evidence or as part of a report or news article." A fact is not defined as something that is necessarily true, rather as something generally agreed upon to be "the case". Therefore a "real" fact infers that it is not only a generally agreed upon fact, it is demonstrably true.

The Earth's spin has never been proven in any scientific test done to date and in "fact" all tests attempting to show the Earth's alleged spin have shown the opposite, that the Earth is stationary. A fact such as "the sky (generally) appears blue" is a a real or true fact because we can verify this with our own senses. If I wanted to dispute this fact, I would have to present enough overwhelming evidence of why it is not what it appears to be. The reason or explanation of why the sky appears blue is not a fact. It is a theory and there are many theories which explain the phenomenon which consist of some similar and different facts. The facts exist to define, explain and argue theories. Until these theories are accepted as truth based on demonstratable and repeatable evidence, they remain just that, theories. Facts can therefore not be a product of a theory, no matter how widely that theory is accepted as being true.

Facts are not truth. Facts should always be observably true, but this is not the case. Facts are generally accepted bits of information. Calling something "real" does not make it any more true. The Earth spins is a theory, and the speed is determined by math based on numbers that were generated via other theories. Where are the facts that prove the theory Snapple calls a "Real Fact"?
