I love this ignorant flearther meme because it really shows the main mental failure of flat earthers, how they can't comprehend the size of the Earth.
Notice how they added a velocity blur to the Earth pic because they can't wrap their mind around the concept that Earth's surface can have a linear velocity of thousands of kh/h but have an angular velocity (which is what makes you feel the centrifugal force in the first 2 pics) of just 1 rotation per 24 hours.
If a playground roundabout spun at 1 rotation per 24 hours you'd barely notice it either.
If a playground roundabout had the linear velocity of Earth's surface it would have to spin roughly 265,789 times per second, which is 10 times faster than the fastest centrifuges we ever built.
