First, the video you see open in my other tab is "Dougie McFlattie Proves The Globe," by @Q Branch.

I was watching that when they quoted 1 degree of latitude per 69 [statute] miles, and then wondered why they hadn't used nautical miles, and then wondered what a NM would even be for a flat Earther.

Flat Earthers have been trying to claim you can only use a sextant if the Earth is flat because they can't understand tangents in 3 dimensions.

So, they parrot 1 degree of latitude being 60 nautical miles.

But - wait a second. Nautical miles?

You're going to need C for that.
