Do flat earthers think
No
Flatearthers didn’t get enough attention so they talk in circles until people stop interacting with them
At least their talking is spherical…
In this illustration, its a circle, checkmate roundhead
Depending on which part of Earth you’re from hahaha
The sole purpose of being a flat earther is to be a very difficult person to deal with, so the content of their little belief system is irrelevant.
They’re the sovereign citizens of earth science.
It’s like a form of adult onset oppositional-defiant disorder
Checks DSM. Yep that about sums it up…
Case closed
It’s opposite day everyday
This is so succinct and good, thank you ha
Not to mention, there are new beliefs now [Dan Olson / Folding Ideas @37m]
Such a plot twist. Hit hard. Even though it’s called out in the video’s own description.
I do recommend everyone watch the whole thing from the beginning.
This is the correct answer.
Sometimes someone says something just the right way. Well done.
For most of them nothing is real, neither the stars nor the planets, and any mention of those things before modern days was planted by the shadow government or something. Some even think the moon is fake too and the sun is some kind of big light bulb in the sky or whatever.
More than believers, they are deniers, of everything.
My interactions with them point to them not believing those things are real at all, or are not planets, etc.
I’ve been told they’re a projection put in the sky by God to test our faith lol.
Why does god need faith demonstrations if he already knows everything?
The one flat earther i know believes the sun and the moon are just spotlights held up from the ceiling of a giant dome.
but the dome is round, yeah? :>
my brother thinks we live inside the earth and the sky is a projection. not even kidding
Did he fall asleep watching Gurren Lagann?
I’ve heard some say that they think the moon is a real, spherical body in the sky. While others disagree and think it’s either a simulation or something else entirely.
The problem with them is that they all have a different idea that goes with their view of this conspiracy theory so they all believe something different than the next. The grouping of them is so small that they never got a chance to really develop a singular idea beyond agreeing among themselves that the world is flat.
My favorites are The ones who think that the Earth is kind has kind of a rim around the edge and the moon rolls across that like a ball lol
But I’ve seen plenty of them that are perfectly fine believing that all of the other planets are spheres.
It doesn’t really matter, I always just tell them to lower a GoPro over the edge and let us know what they find down there. I mean if there’s an edge there’s got to be something under it right? Well they better get going, that award-winning documentary isn’t going to make itself.
But I’ve seen plenty of them that are perfectly fine believing that all of the other planets are spheres.
That’s fascinating. Why do they think Earth is Not Like The Other Planets?
Having worked with several conspiracy theorists I can tell you with confidence that the reasons are always a disappointment.
The only thing they have to agree on is that they know better than the normies.
There’s no consistency to it. It really depends on the individual.
I think you’ll find that flat earthers from all around the globe are in total agreement.
The flat earth conspiracy is just made to make money of dumb people. There is nothing more to it and what ever they believe doesn’t matter.
Where’s the money to be made? Or are they just easily identifiable targets for sale of essential oils, healing crystals and chiropractor gift cards?
Yeah they pay for these conventions, flat earth merch, flat earth messuring tools, maps and a bunch of other crap.
Damn we need a new conspiracy so I can get in on the ground floor and make some cash!
Uhhh, quick everyone, buy these little talismans, they’ll protect you from… uhh… Jews? And liberals, yeah. Yeah $200 for the low strength, two for $400 special deal this month only, or you can get the super secret one that also wards off cops for $500. Cash in advance no refunds.
Flat earthers are just nutjobs that don’t even agree with each other. There us no point to investigate them.
I’m definitely not a Flat Earther, but I watched a documentary about them and a lot of them seem to think the Earth is flat and the sky is like a glass dome, and the other stars and planets are presumably just projected onto the dome somehow? Kind of like this: https://metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/flat-earth-1.jpg
As for what’s beyond the dome or why nobody’s ever encountered the edge of it, I honestly couldn’t tell you lol.
I used to work with a flat earther and this is the description he gave. He was raised Christian and attended a Christian college, so I guess he was never taught much science.
I think a significant portion of them are taking the piss out of the true believers.
Like out of 100 of them, there are 10 that actually believe, and 90 that are just fucking with them.
Maybe none of them are true believers and they’re all just fucking with us.
That’s my stance. Best part is, they can never prove to me that they actually believe, I can just outright deny the same way they do about everything.
Your stance brings me joy. I’m adopting it.
I don’t think flat-earthers are capable of indulging in concepts like other planets. They’re entire personalities are completely dedicated to indulging in their silly “theories” and insisting that it’s important.
For example, have you ever asked a flat earther what possible incentive could there be for “the government” to lie about the shape of the Earth? The only answer they’ve ever given me is “control”, then they get very smug as if this someone proved something and won’t really discuss it any further. I don’t think they’re capable of imagining anything beyond that.
I can’t imagine how the shape of our planet can be used to control us. I mean, if the earth was neither round nor flat, but… I don’t know, toroidal. How would that affect our behavior?
Is non-Euclidean geometry more likely to make the population docile?
And why not use the flat earth as a form of control? Since that vision is much more limited than the traditional one, since there is no space, no gravity, no planets, no stars and no cosmos. Just what you can see and nothing more.
The closest thing to an explanation I’ve ever gotten was “it’s about control of information maaaaaan!!! Wake up and stop listening to the LIES!”
I chose to end the conversation at that point
Flat Earthers aren’t real
Aren’t all of those just fake images the government displays on the dome LCD covering the world inside ice walls? If they were real they would have dropped out of the sky already.
As I’ve heard it, they believe that other planets are around because they can be observed. Any observation of the earth being round is a lie.
These people are crazy
Uses telescope to observe Mars
Yup, that’s round.
Is taken up into space to look down at the round Earth
No, it’s still flat. The windows are curved to make it look round.
Is taken to Mars with the same telescope and it’s pointed at Earth
The glass on the telescope is round, which makes the Earth look round.
Something like that, yes
