the flat earth society is meeting here todayyyyyyyyyyyy

"20,000 volts running through it"

my problem with all these flat earth conspiracy videos is that they're all like 20 minutes long, c'mon, give me the good stuff in two minutes like the illuminati folks do

not that surprising that flat earthers aren't keeping up with the times, tbf

the sun just goes around in a circle above flat earth? what the f holds it in place?

duct tape iirc

wait they also think the sun orbits the earth?

Unfortunately it looks like RT has deleted the much-mocked op ed Sam Gerrans did for them last month suggesting that a round Earth is hoax / conspiracy.

da plane pour moi

The earth is indeed flat, dull, stale, boring, lifeless...

what the f holds it in place?

gravity/centrifugal force/big bang/celestial spheres take your pick of terminology

So do they think that all planets are flat or just Earth? Or do they not believe in any other celestrial bodies, do they indeed think that 'stars' are in fact stars as in the five pointed shapes?

I think they think the universe is a dome above flat earth

also unclear on what exactly the motives of the perpetrators of this hoax are

this guy's channel is ummmm pretty good. this one's got some ASMR vibes

Its like if Neil Breen had an idea about what the universe is like

lol

I want to gain the confidence of some flat earthers and string them along for a long time before I'm all like, guys guys...what if the earth is actually mildly convex? Best to start slow, don't want to blow their minds all at once.

i am enjoying this chaos ballet

God, that YouTube about the plane flights. The dude says, flat out, "I don't think this flight exists" in two different scenarios. So, they're just, like, listing it on the site to keep the "conspiracy" going?

I love this graphic in all it 'do you see' glory.

The lack of demand for flights from Hobart to Buenos Aires is clear proof that true world is flat.

Incidentally they just launched a Melbourne to Santiago flight that comes awfully close to crossing the Antarctic. I wish there were one that went all the way to BA because flinching iver he South Pole would be so awesome.

Yeah Ive seen that "these routes dont happen so thats proof!" claims before. Which were immediately shot down (er pardon the phrasing) by a pilot who flies AU-Sth america all the time.

Also for some reason, Brian Cox seems to attract a lot of these nutters?

I spoke with my friend last night and he revealed he thought the flat earthers made some good points. I asked him if he was kidding. He's not and of course he's a Trump supporter.

The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle and the earth is at least moderately flat.

the earth is flying saucer shaped, and flying saucer sightings are caused by atmospheric anomalies producing a complex mirage

if the earth wasn't flat, how come cars drive off cliffs

The cities in the background are approx. 16miles apart... where is the curve ? please explain this pic.twitter.com/YCJVBdOWX7

Met my first bonafide Flat-Earther yesterday and he was British. It was kinda lol but mostly sad.

quality headline

This man is about to launch himself in his homemade rocket to prove the Earth is flat

“I don’t believe in science,” said Hughes, whose main sponsor for the rocket is Research Flat Earth. “I know about aerodynamics and fluid dynamics and how things move through the air, about the certain size of rocket nozzles, and thrust. But that’s not science, that’s just a formula. There’s no difference between science and science fiction.”

Dunning-Kruger

nothing scientific about doing an experiment that proves a hypothesis

may offer some evidence towards natural selection

this is all so purely in the realm of not even wrong

Hughes only recently converted to flat-Eartherism, after struggling for months to raise funds for his follow-up flight over the Mojave.

i doubt his commitment to this cause.

I don't have the data to back it up, but I feel like the overlap between flat earthers and Darwin award winners is pretty sizable.

It's rare to read a pre-obituary. Godspeed, dude who's about to smear himself across the Mojave.

But that’s not science, that’s just a formula.

Does this person know what the word science means?

*trying not to mention Trump*

one of my 10th grade chemistry students just told me he's a flat earther

i asked him why, he said "because it looks flat to me"

i asked him about all of the evidence for a round earth (including photos from space) and his response was "that's just shit adults tell me, and most shit adults tell me is bullshit"

hard to argue with that

the argument is that "most" doesn't equate to "all"

ask him what thinks is on the other side of the flat earth. also what happens to planes when they fly to the edge of earth.

It's a ridic position because this isn't even something so complex that you just have to take experts at their word about it. It's pretty easy to follow along step-by-step the logical path that leads to "Earth is a sphere", and there's numerous paths which lead to it. They're just too lazy to do it themselves.

I don't have the data to back it up, but I feel like the overlap between flat earthers and Darwin award winners is pretty sizable.

Prophetic.

https://www.inverse.com/article/21098-flat-earthers-trees

The flat-earth nonsense about 40 mile tall trees in that article is just a clickbait lead-in for a longer discussion about deforestation and loss of old-growth, climax forests. The proposal that 'in the Big Picture they aren't all wrong' is just the segue to keep you reading about the author's real concerns. He hopes you won't notice that he stops talking about the flat-earther idiocy that fetched you in and you'll imbibe some environmental awareness. It is a stupid rhetorical gambit that won't work nearly as well as the author hopes it will.
