    Then there was the day Elon Musk found a group that was even stupider than the people he normally hangs out with:

      It’s always amusing to me which observations these people won’t ignore while they ignore other observations. Like how do they draw the line?

    someone who believes in a flat earth is also more likely to believe in the geocentric order of planets rather than the heliocentric one.

      If not geocentric, then egocentric.

          heliocentricism → the Sun is the center of the universe and all revolves around it

          geocentrism → the Earth is the center of the universe and all revolves around it, including the sun

      I mean, you obviously can’t have oceans on a round planet. The water would just flow away into space.

    This is such a misconstrued scale meant to be derisive against flat earthers. The accurate representation is a circle with cloud shrouded ice damns along the edge of the planet.

    It’s still dumb but should be accurate to what they believe.

        You also shouldn’t ask how it manages to light only half of an otherwise flat earth I suppose.

        Best explanation I saw involved light curving. At which point you’re just working with a spherical earth in a weird coordinate system.

          Explanations for lunar and solar eclipses get silly too. Mercury and Venus passing in front of the sun is just ignored as it wouldn’t fit between the Earth and the sun.

    We can argue about this all day but we should probably find something better to do in the short time we have left before we crash into the sun according to this diagram
