Something I learned somewhat recently, Flat Earthers believe all other heavenly bodies are globular. It's only Earth that is flat.

That is somehow even stranger.
Talk about moving the goalposts without consulting pi
Yeah, there are better arguments for a flat earth. I wonder if this could be used to convince the nutters to reduce carbon emissions. #KeepEarthFlat
At first I was like “shouldn’t the be flat Venus?” But then Venus is closer to the sun, so it must be above us. So this makes sense.
Wouldn't the sun be down? That's gotta be where all of the gravity is coming from. Right? Or is gravity magic secret government stuff?
Tell flat-earthers that the earth is flat, but wrapped around so that when you leave one edge of the map you re-enter on the other side - like Pac Man but in every direction. And thus the flat earth only looks spherical but is in fact a hollow ball made from a flat sheet.
Then watch to see if they switch to being hollow-earthers instead lol
Now you have projective-plane-earthers!
Or more likely torus-earthers, unless the gluing is reversed.
"Like Pac Man but in every direction" sounds more like a projective plane to me.
A few of them already do believe this.
thats downright boring next to some of the models they come up with.
there is a model with a hollow/torus earth,
were the sun is on the inside, while we are on the outside.
the sun dips up and down anlong the poles and leaves through the gigant holes in the arctic&antarctic (that nasa covers up)
which causes the daylight cycle.
and the sun moving throughout the sky is just an illusion caused by atmospheric lensing
Why though? Why do they come up with all of this crazy bullshit?
flat earthers are only unified by the belief that the globe model is fake.
they all pick and choose which models they like, based on what conspiracy theories they subscribe to, and what "evidence" they believe in.
for example the model i described fits in well with hollow earth conspiracies like annunaki or lizzard people and "nasa hides the poles to cover up the truth"
and when they are confronted with evidence that disproves one of their models its suddenly a strawman that no real flat earther believes in. and they pull out a different model that is entirely designed around addressing that one issue. (rinse and repeat if you disprove the next model)
this reminds me of inside job
I think it is more of a tiling block system so as you move the edge of the map it the blocks detach from the far side and move in front of you before you reach the edge.
Should have used a jet pack to get to flat heaven. Could have ended up in flat hell.
Are we just going to ignore this man can stand on water? Granted, if you're a flat-earther, the sky is the limit to what you can believe.
The sky is also flat.
Please. Send flat earthers to Mars so they can finally shut up about the earth being flat.
Well, they'll see a disk and still be unconvinced.
But then they'll remain unconvinced away from us.
Falling flat.
Anyway, is there a border or something there? All that water, and none splashes around.
According to flat earth theory... Antarctica is the border. It's a giant ice wall that surrounds the edges of the earth and keeps the water in.
Their world seems so limiting. I wonder if that makes them feel safer or something.
Do they believe in global warming? What happens when the ice wall melts? Will Jon Snow be there?
Well, the entire South border of the map has land under the ice.
The fact that it's a single point makes this easier.
You know nothing, Jon Snow
These are all good questions. Unfortunately the answers are just unknowable.
Antarctic ice is actually expanding, despite global warming. Arctic ice is melting, but flatzoids think that's in the middle of a flat earth.
I dunno, rent is pretty cheap on mars from what I hear...
You get what you pay for, though. Not a lot of amenities. No in-unit washer/dryer, no pool, Internet is probably super slow, no central heating, BYO oxygen. Nice views though!
Why aren't they wearing pants?
So they don't shit them?
I didn't know they made a manga adaptation of The Room.
