Time Has No Meaning at the North Pole

The sun doesn't only rise and set once a year at the north Pole! Is this a joke?

Edit: -3 for correct science. Good work HN

You have to explicitly say that you are a flat earther. Otherwise people on HN assume standard science as source of knowledge.

If you are not a flat earther, you might consider watching this video while closely observing the north pole: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLRA87TKXLM

Also Stellarium is an outstanding piece of FOSS software, you can play with your position, time of day and time of year. Please dont file a bug report because the sun does only set once per year at the north pole. Stellarium is not made for flat earthers.

How does that even make sense for a flat earther? Is their explanation for the posted article is that it's part of some round earth propaganda machine?

How do you mean? When you are not moving but only rotating, how can it rise and set apart from the world rotating around the sun?
