    Notice they’re all flat. Circular? Sure.

    Still flat. The “scientists’” own visualizations show them for the fools they are.

  Wait, do those bona fide idiots reject gravity, too? I mean explicitly. Or, would they think the goats would stand perpendicular to the rim?

  JFC, I hadn’t considered this before. So, the Earth is flat, because it looks flat from the ground, and down is down because it is. But the moon disc faces the Earth, which means it must be perpendicular to the Earth so “down” is local, but it’s not gravity? Is that it? Or, the Moon is spherical, but Earth isn’t? If there’s gravity, then what is on the other side of the Earth? Lemme guess, some bizzaro-world, alternate dimension?

  Wow.

  When I first heard about flat Earthers, I was certain it was parody, to the point that I didn’t realize it wasn’t for years afterward. It’s just so fucking ridiculous.

  Kudos to the one guy I heard of that realized it was all bullshit when he saw the Earth from high up. It takes courage to admit you’re wrong about something so fundamental, but he owned up to it.

    This image is a parody of flat earth created by someone the flat earthers would call a globularist.

    There are two “real” flat earth models. One is similar to this image, but the earth is encased in a dome on which the celestial objects ride. There is no outer space in this model, so there is no “other side” of the earth (or side walls for goats to tramp around).

    The other model is an infinite plane. In this model, the North Pole is in the center and Antarctica forms an ice wall around the perimeter of the known earth. The government doesn’t want you to know about the lands beyond the ice wall, so they push the round earth lie.

      Good thing the earth is only a few thousand year old.

      There was a time when young-Earth evangelicals were the craziest people around the internet…

    I contend that it WAS a parody, but then peopl being people, took it seriously and now there are ACTUAL people who believe this shit

      It was probably just Epstein testing his psychology knowledge, to see if he can make people believe literally anything.

      And so he did.
