It’s beautifully stupid how many people believe in this. What's worse, this or people who believe that politicians and the government have our best interests t heart? Probably this since it’s even more false. |

There's a conspiracy theory that the flat earth is a government psyop to make anyone questioning official narratives look ridiculous by association.

The flat earthers, is there any proof to back them up? where as their are anomalies within government action and political behaviour which atleast can fool you into thinking hey maybe they do give a damn about us. Scientists simply took a satellite picture of the earth and proved it was indeed is flat Your grade 4 tests are rather simple too. Jump, Blow and Get High. But that only proves you are in grade 4

I have heard all about these people @marilynluvstigger and I have always had trouble taking them seriously especially after hearing they think our country (Australia) doesn't exist and I am sure there would be some people here who would be more than happy to pay for a plane ticket for them to come here and meet us and find out how utterly ridiculous that sounds.

It's absurd but can't see that it matters very much. Believing that the earth is flat doesn't really affect anything, does it?

Are you a flat Earth believer? We know the Earth is flat because the Bible tells us so. But for those of you skeptical, Close-minded types that flat out refuse to accept the overwhelming Biblical evidence, I have designed some experiments you can do at home that will show you, Before your very eyes, That the world is indeed flat, And not spherical as some crazy scientists proclaim. It"s amazing how many people blindly believe in a spherical Earth, Without ever having seen it for themselves! I intend to change that. The Bible does not say that the earth is flat.

I did a little research on them after reading a CNN article about Flat Earthers. Turns out "Flat Earthers" are a separate group from The Flat Earth Society and feud with them over their respective cosmological theories. It's like that scene in 'Life of Brian' where the anti-Roman group are grumbling about how much they hate the other anti-Roman factions. I read through the Flat Earth Society's web page and couldn't wrap my head around their theories. All of the maps on their site appeared to show at least a partially curved Earth. Do they actually believe in a hemispheric Earth? But their central argument in favor of a flat Earth just seemed to be "trust your senses," so they barely have an argument to bother rebutting.

I'm sorry but flat earthers need to be slapped. This is something that has already been proven BEYOND a shadow of a doubt. You can even prove it yourself in your own back yard with a telescope and a little time. That's what the first astronomers did. It's not even that hard.
The only thing that flat earthers prove is that if you want to believe something stupid, or not believe something even though its been proven, that's what you're gonna do. If you're stupid you're just stupid.
I mean, its real simple. We have airplanes now. Why hasn't one of those ever found the edge? And where does all the ocean water go? Or come from for that matter? If it exists why hasn't anyone gone there, taken pictures of it, and brought back proof? And if there's a conspiracy to keep it secret what benefit does that conspiracy offer the conspirators?
For crying out loud, believing the Earth is flat raises more questions than it answers!
Hollow earthers need to be slapped too.

The original Flat Earth Society, which still exists in the UK, doesn't believe the Earth is flat!! They're a group of scientists who get together in order to re-examine known theories in order to see if they still hold water, or if they can be viewed in a different light. I don't know about the American version, but if they do actually believe the Earth is flat I think they may have missed the point. Although; from a Gravitational POV the earth is flat(ish)! So they're using the term Flat Earth in a tongue in cheek kind of way. Fine. I get that.
But I think a good many of these folks have misunderstood the original meaning and are just cuckoo for cocoa puffs.

Flat earth is fake but hollow earth is real. They also have dinosaurs, lizard men, and Nazis ready to control the world with the rising Fourth Reich! No, no. That's on the moon. Havent you seen the movie? See Iron Sky.

Politicians only care about themselves and push bullshit that they themselves exempt themselves from. Again, we agree on something!
Whats happening!?!?!?

I knew about the Flat Earth society years ago but resurgence of Flat Earthers seem to have increased in the last couple of years. I've watched a recent documentary about them "Behind the Curve" The funny thing is that the flat earthers on the documentary bought a laser gyroscope to test the earth rotation and were convinced that this would disprove the round earth. Instead the exact opposite happened. It ended up proving the round earth. Of course that wasn't enough to convince them that the Flat Earth model is wrong. www.newsweek.com/behind-curve-netflix-ending-light-experiment-mark-sargent-documentary-movie-1343362Another thing that bothers me about this conspiracy theory is that there is no real reason to make this conspiracy. I mean I can understand the reasoning behind some conspiracy theories like the JFK assassination, 9/11 being an inside job or the New World Order. Faking the shape of the Earth? Why would anyone waste time doing that? |

Farewell and God Speed , Mike Hughes ! Although a devout Flat-Earther , 'Mad' Mike was tireless in his determination to go to space .
He believed it was his duty to try and reach the stars , but as an earth-bound pessimist he knew he had no right to be out there , above
us all . On Saturday in Barstow , California , He launched in his steam-powered rocket to a height of 1 Mile where his re-entry parachute failed . edition.cnn.com/2020/02/22/us/science-channel-mike-hughes-dead/
(I do feel a little sad for Mike . His reasons and views were intriguing , involving conspiracy theories .
And he was very innovative as a design-engineer-builder of a personal spacecraft).
