Looks round from the fake NASA pics, proof they are fake. 😀

In the late 1970s I had a flat girlfriend who should've been round.

the earth is actually a donut shape. The blue sky is the ocean you see on the other side. Thought yall knew

Oblate Spheroid/Ellipsoid Earth Society is not nearly as catchy as Flat Earth Society. Reality needs better marketing.

The right mix of Pharmies and listening to Dave Mathews Band will reveal to correct path to FE "discovery". Or huffing gasoline.

Nasa looks to be a mix of actual events and certain embellishments from time to time. Of course many arm chair observers conclude "if its a little wrong, it must be all wrong ", and critical thinking goes over the cliff.

What's on the other side of the Flat Earth is.... us... also. When we dream we get glimpses of our life over there. The thing about this spheroid theory that's catching folks out is that they are stuck with the belief the Earth is rotating about it's axis every 24 hrs. In fact we are spinning around at a massive rate, like a coin on a table top, such that the pics from space make it look like a spheroid planet. Once they increase the shutter speed on those cameras it'll be obvious. We don't notice the rapidly flicking from day to night during this spinning because we are all blinking at just the right time to miss the change and see the same daytime or nightime thing. And Earths gravity is much more massive than what we see represented by 9.8m/s/s... how else would we be able to suck those neutrinos out of the sun?

I'm definitely, probably, the worlds greatest lover.

If Baby It's Cold Outside and Kiss the Girl can be looked at by some as being invitations and glorifications of rape and mayhem, then (probably those same) people can believe that the Earth is flat.

The world we see and touch is Euclidean at a human scale.

But at the atomic and cosmic scale, it is non-Euclidean. Parallel lines meet at infinity. The shortest distance between two points is not a straight line.

This is science, not fantasy.

I wonder how the flat earth people handle a Möbius strip?

Do any of these nuts explain why this conspiracy to hide the flat earth exists? What’s the ultimate goal of perpetuating the big lie of the spheroid earth?

I saw the flat earth thingy on tv the other day.....ultra morons... but Ill bet somebody withen them is making a killing off of them...probably the guy that started it knowing there were clueless souls fresh out of church ripe for the picking. you cant fix stupid, and sometines not even clueless.

[Onceler]

I wonder why i never hear of grand conspiracies involving the chinese or russian governments, pretty sure those folks ain’t saints, and why does WikiLeaks only concentrate on the American government, absolutely nothing on russia or china. The flat earth and ancient alien folks seem to just be into conspiracy theories just for the sake of it. Maybe YouTube hits is all

There was a guy on the Fender Stratocaster forum who was a Flat Earther. It was a pretty good read as he battled people with scientific minds with the pseudo-science of flat earth beliefs. As for a faked moon landing, I have ready plenty for and against arguments but the the one that is most persuasive to me is that if NASA faked the moon landing, how in the heck did they get the Russians to go along with it in the Cold War? If it was truly impossible as the "faked Moon Landing" people believe, wouldn't the Russians have called us out on it at a time when the US and the USSR were in a propaganda battle?

I find conspiracy theorists and other willfully stupid people both depressing and fascinating. Especially in context of the knowledge that the brains of humans have been the same for many thousands of years, with the only difference being each generation builds on the knowledge of the ones that came before. So when people backslide, I can't help but think they are just stupid, or mentally ill. How do the Flat Earthers dismiss the findings of Eratosthenes? Over two thousand years ago he not only proved the earth was round, but pretty accurately estimated its circumference, using the advanced technology of a stick. Perhaps he was a founding member of the Illuminati, and I am one of the fortunate few to be in on it.
