View source for Plagiarism of Walter Bislin's model

[[File:Walter Bislin’s Flat Earth Dome JS Model.jpeg|thumb|right|Screenshot of Walter Bislin’s model]]

Walter Bislin made [https://web.archive.org/web/20250307172147/http://walter.bislins.ch/bloge/index.asp?page=Flat+Earth+Dome+Model an interactive JavaScript model]<ref>'''Note''': links to a snapshot taken on March 7, 2025. [http://walter.bislins.ch/bloge/index.asp?page=Flat+Earth+Dome+Model Original site] is unavailable as of March 16, 2025</ref>  showing that the flat earth requires light to bend in impossible ways.

[[Shane St. Pierre]] subsequently stole this model, tried to remove references to the source (except a derogatory footnote hidden at the bottom), and claimed it not only as his own work but as a flat earth proof instead of a debunk. His stolen version can be found [https://adl.place/shanes-fe-model here].

This has been used by innumerable flerfs now, with not one flerf ever calling out or correcting the dishonesty. They are still using it to this day (see below).
