I remember.

People like Flat Earthers were a paragraph under the "Did You Know!?" section of a children's magazine designed for satire and jokes. Next to the cartoon of the week, and a bunch of dad jokes.

I wonder if matriarchal societies substitute mom jokes.

Mom jokes are around to make dad sound funny. This is either patriarchy at it's worse, or mum at her best, depends who you ask.
