Comment on Gravity!
zaphodb2002@sh.itjust.works 5 days agoI’m reasonably convinced that the flat earther explosion was at least encouraged by nefarious actors to see what dumb shit people will actually believe. I feel like the flat earth videos on YouTube are directly related to the recent rise of the extreme right, it primed so many of these people to reject reality so completely.

When I say this was meant as a joke, it picked up steam in the /r/flatearth sub, which I saw back early, and it was kind of an inside reddit joke much like /r/birdsarentreal is today. Mark my words, that shit will be the next flat earth.
People work like this. A sub with 50K subscribers? Maybe there’s something to it!
I had subs once. Big ones. They were taken from me. I know. Buy me a beer and I’ll tell you about it.

How can birds not be real when we choose the owl that is most superb every year
