According to google, flat-earthers are absolutely "an actual thing". Moreover, there is even an organization called "The Flat Earth Society." founded in 1956. Now, I have no clue how in the world did they end up forming an official organization that supports the idea that was proved wrong a long time ago, but here we are. After all, why are others allowed to marry a pizza? If you know what I mean, hopefully, they will do at least some good deeds and will clean the land, lol.

A guy recently killed his kids because he read stuff online that made him think his ex-wife was a lizard person and he had procreated more lizard people. People think there is a cabal of elite celebrities and politicians drinking the blood of children. The increase in the number of flat earthers is another example of gullible people falling prey to absurd misinformation out on the internet.

The internet is dwarfed by talk radio and fox "news" when it comes to misinformation.
There are plenty of idiots out there that really do believe the earth is a sphere and that Biden really did win the election over Trump.

If you try to book flights around the southern hemisphere of the Earth, such as from Australia to Africa or Australia to South America, you will find that there are no direct flights. The flights always go up north first to a connecting flight, before going back down south. Why is that? On a flat earth map, it makes sense.
Maybe you should admit you cannot afford the direct flight that is only 13 hrs Sydney to Jo'burg for example. Nice long boozy lunch, leave at 11am land at 3pm same day. Or much cheaper to go up to SE Asia, traipse around for connecting flight and land the next day with bleary eyes. Your choice.
The route is determined by volume, many of the SE Asia flights have most people going to europe
Depending on winds, the westward flight goes lower and far south, with awesome views of Antarctica on a nice day you will find most people standing at the windows. Further north closer to the latitude flights due to weather adds about an hour to flight.
Return flight is almost along the latitude and much higher to take advantage of the 200km/h tail winds, clocking around 11 hrs
Pre Covid, Qantas were discussing Sydney to Cape Town instead, probably an hour quicker, enabling an even more southerly trajectory, returning via Jo'burg on the more direct trajectory.
Are Elon on the 4 civilians in on the scam too?

What is funny/sad about this is that a globe earth model predicts that left to right is flat, but front to back is curved.
This is because the horizon is made up of points all the same distance away (e.g. 3 miles) from the eye of the viewer. If the viewer slowly spun 360 deg., he would end up in the same place because there are no left to right changes in height.

How come when planes are on auto-pilot, do they not constantly nose down throughout the flight to account for this so called curvature of the Earth? If the Earth was curved, why doesn't the plane leave the atmosphere?
This thread is absolutely hilarious!
I know the guy must have been trolling, but still the flat earth points he was trying to make are so absurd, like the above quote for example. Ummm, very simple answer is that airplanes don't reach anywhere near orbital velocity and they only work in a think atmosphere, not outside the atmosphere. Duh!!!!
I would absolutely guarantee Unkle is a flat earther,only a complete idiot believes it...

Explain how these planes are flying in an inverted position while these passengers are enjoying these awesome views of Antarctica at the same time.

Private spaceflight must really scare flat earthers.
When hundreds of thousands of people can go visit space in our lifetimes for only $5-10k...

First tell me what you are smoking, or if you fell on your head because you woyuldn't believe in gravity?

If you stand on your head the whole world is upside down!
I love the flat earthers' explanations of the seasons, eclipses, positions of stars and how their GPS watches work. They should have a show
Nobody has ever come back alive from the mysterious ice wall at the edge of the flat earth disk.
Suspicious or what?
I am still on the fence regarding the shape of the world. Most map makers seem to believe the flat Warth theories though while more scientists support the Ball earth. Round ball shapes are very convenient i think. They are often used in models for electrons and such but an electron isnt a ball for sure
I really hope you guys are all trolls. I hope there are not people so dumb that they don't understand how gravity works, that down is toward the center of the Earth no matter where on the planet you are.
