    In the event you’re actually asking for an explanation, since that is what this community is for:

    You are correct. The Earth rotates underneath airplanes or anything else in the air. Airplane pilots navigate to airports, they don’t just land where the airport was 2 hours ago. This is accounted for in flight schedules. Skydivers are only falling for about 5 minutes so the rotation underneath them is negligible. Birds, similar to pilots, just keep going until they’re where they want to be.

    Also, the Earth is a spheroid.

    Oh, I’ve checked in with new episodes occasionally over the years, and they were awful. Legitimately, I’m sounding off on this show because in many ways it defined my childhood. What is it with the internet that people feel compelled to sound off on someone sounding off?!

    The bigger issue is that 35 seasons of the Simpsons is over 380 hours of continuous television
