We live in a time where people believe vaccines cause autism, and the Holocaust didn't happen. Compared to those, believing the earth is flat seems rather tame.
(Yes, I'm well aware there are people who believe all three. Trust me, they make my brain hurt every. single. day.)
My first solid perception of the curvature of the earth was in 7th grade trigonometry class, when our (very cool) teacher showed us the angle of depression to the horizon - very easily PROVING that the world is a giant spheroid with measurable curvature
You must have missed the "final experiment" flat earthers got so pissed that a pastor took like 6 guys to Antarctica to see the 24 hour sun and they're still saying it's fake.
Countless grown ass men thinking women's orgasms in professional porn are real, too.
I cannot tell you how many guys believe this. I'm like bro have you ever given your wife/gf an orgasm. Yes? Did it look AT ALL the same. The stunned looks of betrayal as they put it together ... π
Welp, 80% of the world adult population believe that the word of men is the same as the word of gods, even if they existed. It's no stretch at all 2 believe other similar childish nonsense like flat earth, holy water, saints, angels, ghosts, fairies, big goot, prayer, rosaries, miracles, on & on...π€·ββοΈ

I had a pretty nice evangelical friend go nuclear flat earth. Kicked out of her church for insisting on the literal Genesis teaching of flat earth with a dome on top. Really angry that everyone else didn't follow her to crazytown.

His kids were embarrassed by their father and did not believe it was flat
They vote.
That's how we got here.
If you get a flat earther and a hollow earther together, they agree about most things.
Figure that outβ¦
