Flat Earth

That's the same guy who spent one season faking sick every time he had to travel to play the team he screwed over, then when he finally went back, burned sage to exorcise the demons.
 
Another thing with a flat Earth daylight would be everywhere, but you could also then do the same for night time maybe the flat Earth flips over as it turns so we get night and day :D
 
Considering the inanity of totally believing that the Earth is flat, I wouldn't be surprised at anything a flat earther would do.
 
Haha I like that I bet if you did it you'd bet shit tons of clicks

Right on! Hey, this topic made me remember seeing a couple vids on Planet X maybe 5 years ago. (aka Planet Nine, Nibiru) I did find that pretty fascinatting & more difficult to disprove vs the planet we inhabit. I did a forum search, surprised nothing came up. How well the search works here? thread?
 
Cosmoquest did a great job debunking Planet X.

More real is Gliese 710, which looks to pass by our solar system a few thousand AUs out in a million years or so.
 
There are some stupid beliefs I at least understand. Being skeptical about vaccinations, for someone who has had bad experiences with medicine and doctors and doesn't have any background in biology, at least makes sense to me how a person could get from point A to point B.

Flat Earth though. A guy tried to build a rocketship to get high enough to go around the Earth when he could just, you know, take a plane and go forward for a long time. Or go to Antarctica and look for the wall. The sheer number of people who would have to be in on the conspiracy. Airlines having to carefully plot their routes to fake the number of hours it would take to get places if the world were round. Anyone with a few thousand bucks to burn can personally circumnavigate the globe just via plane tickets. If the world were flat so many people would have to know that it wouldn't even be a secret worth keeping.
 
Maybe Mars could be the ideal place for a colony only fill it with the Flat Earthers, anti vaxxers, and other oddities and let them have their world, I'm sure they will all get along well. /s

Maybe the flat Earthers will become Flat Mars people
 
Maybe when they see through a telescope that Earth doesn't have, you know, AN EDGE, they'll figure it out.

Can we send all the white supremacists as well? Pretty please? We really don't need losers like that here.

Cause if you call one that, they'll say "Oh I don't know if white supremacy even exists, I just think..." (Spews at you a lot of cherry-picked, manipulated and just plain made up statistics).

Everyone who has ever piloted a plane or helmed a boat is in on the conspiracy.
 
Yes, and the conspiracy goes all the way back to at least Ptolemaic Egypt. Only untold billions of people lying and hiding the truth for nearly 2500 years. Completely believable...right?
