Every time I see one of these threads, I'm hoping these guys are talking about Holographic Principle...and I'm always disappointed afterwards
I would love to have one of the flat earth people explain to me the incentive for "the powers that be" to perpetuate the "myth" that the earth is round.
Sidebar, The next time I see Stevie Wonder occupying a seat in the front row of a sporting event, I'm going to flip the fuck out
I'll also take this thread to remind everyone that it's really never a good idea to look to your favorite athletes and celebrities for their opinions really on anything except for what they actually do.
What if my favorite celebrity fired other celebrities on a TV show where they ran fake business projects?
Think about the absolute panic that would result if it was found out that you could just fall off the edge of the world.
I hear certain opinions from established athletes and celebs and the first thought that enters my mind is "Do these stars actually believe these things, or are they just trying desperately to be different?" Or is it combination of both?
which is funny since the way gravity works means if you could actually make it to the edge you'd be perfectly fine. the issue is as you approached the edge gravity would be fighting against you immensely and you'd be more likely to fall back. if you made it to the edge and then onto the other side gravity would roll you back towards the center with some considerable force. but understanding the impossibility of this via physics isn't something that would work on people dumb enough to believe in flat earth so you have to tell them simple stuff like the horizon.
The Illuminati are big time players in the classroom globe syndicate. Ever tried to sell a flat globe?
I prefer flat earth truthers to anti-vaxxers. Those people need be exterminated before they get us all killed
I always wonder why these seemingly stupid theories persist and persist regardless of evidence. It's almost like the person who created this conspiracy theory said to themselves "consipiracy theorists are so stupid I can probably get them to believe anything even that the earth is flat" and then succeeded in doing so. I think it stems from a mind set of 1) not very bright individuals (obviously) 2) I'm smarter than most people around me. Yea maybe I didn't get into a good school and maybe my grades weren't that great but at least I question everything not like all these sheep. I'm more unique than everyone..... which in itself is a very unoriginal aspiration.
I'm 99% sure that's actually almost exactly how the flat earth conspiracy started. Some dude created it as a satire of conspiracy nutcases, then it actually caught on.
