Okay, okay, alright, somebody, someone somewhere…
You have to tell me, how the fuck do they make money from being intentionally stupid?
How the fuck?
There’s no way they’re doing this by accident.
There’s no way they’re actually this stupid.
There has to be an angle.
What the fuck is the angle?
How the fuck are they funding their lives by saying shit like this?
Garbage in, garbage out
Combination of targeted oil money bribery + whipping up tribalism, some explicitly sell their souls while others tie their self-worth to a lie
Selling “secret knowledge” to stupid people has always been a profitable grift
Having followers is a path to monetizing new lies against them in the future… best I’ve got.
Apparently twitter has a system where they’ll pay you for posts with a lot of attention, regardless of it’s quality. Pays less than minimum wage but some do it full time anyways.
The angle is having an ingroup. Build a community around absolutely anything and people will come, just so they can belong. Flat earth is just one of these. Flerfing is funny because it’s so absurd, but the same psychology is at play for e.g. the manosphere, local football teams and anything else if you look hard enough.
Engagement bait. Algorithm recommends them to more people. They get more money from ads.
I’m convinced none of these people actually believe this stuff and they just think they are being funny
The best way to find answers online is not to ask a question. Instead, it’s to make a statement that is wrong and wait for someone to correct you.
The more people that interact with a post, the more they get paid.
My brother in Amerigo Vespucci, there are maps from 500 years ago that show sea serpents on them. Are those real, too?
They all froze to death from all the snow of course. Geez do you even conspiracy theory bro?
Not anymore…
Oh yes, Eastern Brazil was a rusty red plain in the early colonial era
That Terra Australis going wild in there, or is it the flat earth walls?
Walls. And a few rivers before they froze over as the sun got dimmer with all the 19^th^ century soot.
If you’re so smart Mr. Smarty Pants then tell me this: Who invented snow, then? If you say Thomas Jefferson, then you’re wrong, he invented traffic lights, doofus.
also this map aint 500 years old. That sure looks like north america to me
They don’t want you to know about the lost expedition of 1524. This map is the only surviving evidence of when the famous explorer from Genoa The Barone Giusseppe Palloncino took his high altitude hot air balloon over the entire northern hemisphere.
We all know map making was far superior 500 years ago. Those satellites only messed things up.
The famous red wastes of Brazil.
Finally! A map that disproves New Zealand.
I honestly thought this was a picture of a dirty dinner plate.
To be a winter child in this hot girl summer age, it wounds me!
I see four white rectangles there. If that’s not proof of snow, then I don’t know what to tell you.
“Ice? There’s never been any ice! Ice is just a myth.”
Man, I cant believe someone left the Antarctic freezer on for 500 years.
Sure. But don’t call me “500 year old map”. #commaSplice
what cured ass projection is this?
Then what are the white sections of land?
You leave my cocaine alone.
I believe you mean our cocaine, comrade.
They had to build a really tall ladder to get this view. Quite the project.
Imagine a world without cocaine, vast, continent-covering amounts …
It also doesn’t melt! They just add it to the ice wall or make ice cream from it
I know it’s a shitpost but my mind immediately goes to Pieter Bruegel the Elder.
There is a map showing a very detailed coastline of Antarctica including mountains and rivers from hundreds of years ago that describes it as a place that is very hot and full of snakes. The original map-maker said he had combined maps from multiple sources to create that map. You could argue that the description was false and intended to keep people away, but how did they see the coastline? It is at the very least evidence that Antarctica was not covered in ice at some point during not so distant human existence.
Snow is unnatural.
Finally shows the True Flat Eart too!
