I'm feeling like being mean. I'm gonna destroy your brain.

1 hour and 14 minutes. And all this Flat-Earther does is ranting about how the official numbers given for Earth and gravity don't make sense. (He doesn't explain WHY they don't make sense. He just points and laughs.)

Then he misunderstands what the unit of measurement "Newton" means.

And then he somehow concludes that the metric system must be made up because the kilogram was arbitrarily chosen to be the weight of 1 liter of water.
