So if bigfoot landed in a space ship, then stole a car with a dashcam and drove from one flat edge to the other and filmed it, i might think on it...

who's a flat earther?

Well since I believe I've seen the Earth from the latest Space Station trips and it appeared to be a round sphere, I'm going to have to go with that. (If the Earth was flat how does the water not run off the edge? every time I knock over my drink glass the liquid runs right off the table onto the floor?)

I worked with a fellow that was a staunch flat-earther. He could never explain why rainbows weren’t straight.
Oh, and that big light bulb in the sky during the day?....he’d show us NASA pics of the space station floating above it.
He was a funny guy but I don’t miss him.

When I took physics 101 at uni, one of our projects was to prove that the Earth was spheroidal, as described in science textbooks.
The purpose of the exercise was to get us to question established science by testing theories for ourselves, based entirely on their own merit.
Eeveryone knows that the Earth is round, not flat, but it's surprisingly difficult to come up with an experiment that proves it without relying on textbooks that merely assume it to be true.

I think a simple one is lasers over a distance. One documentary on Netflix shows proponents trying and failing at the experiment, if I remember correctly.
Not many flat Earthers left. They mostly are following Q now.

This is a chance to post one of my favorite Carl Sagan videos. It discusses Eratosthenes of Cyrene: Eratosthenes - Wikipedia who proved that the earth was round and calculated its circumference surprisingly accurately over 2000 years ago. Check it out!
I've heard that Flat Earth is a psyop (psychological operation) intended to de-legitimize conspiracy theories in general. That makes more sense to me than the flat earth theory (which is preposterous). I mean, every other planet and moon in the solar system is spherical, why would the earth be flat?
You know what they say...I've said it before, Bigfoot is real and chicks dig him.
Big feet...
Big...boots...
For sure - and it's the latest experiment of hundreds or perhaps thousands of similar experiments since antiquity that all arrive at the same general conclusion that the earth is spherical.
Very clever, young man! But it's turtles - all the way down!
...if the earth was flat, cats would have pushed everything off the edge aeons ago... Thus annoying the elephant, and all those turtles.
There are going to be plenty of questionable beliefs become mainstream in the near future as Big Tech is openly on a mission to silence opposing views about many things.
It is pretty much accepted that repetition of ideas is more convincing than other forms of education.

An old dope buddy of mine posts a lot of flat earth stuff on FaceBook. He was a decent drummer back in the 80's, kind of a wreck now.
