Never has irony been more prevalent.
It’s hard to believe that these loons are still around in the 21st Century. The shocking fact is that flat Earth beliefs are gaining traction, mainly from conspiracy theorists and pseudo-scientists – the types that think the Apollo Missions were faked and that Elvis is alive and working in Burger King. For instance, In 2017 the US rapper B.o.B started a crowd-funding campaign to raise $1 million to launch a satellite to seek evidence that our planet is flat. The campaign fell flat.
Apparently 7% of the Brazilian population – some 11 million people – believe that the Earth is flat. This has been attributed to a resurgent evangelical Christian church. Religious fundamentalism is spreading these ideas in Islamic countries too. In 2017 a geology student in Tunisia was intending to submit a PhD defending her work on a flat-Earth model. These views have also been fuelled by You Tube and Twitter.
There are a number of flat-Earth theories. Some propose that the Earth’s edges are surrounded by a wall of ice holding in the oceans. Others say our flat planet and its atmosphere are encased in a huge, hemispherical snow globe from which nothing can fall off the edges.
To account for night and day, flat-Earthers think the Sun moves in circles around the North Pole. Another idea suggests that the Sun and Moon are 50 km in diameter and circle the disc-shaped Earth at a height of 5500 km, with the stars above on a rotating dome.
Many flat-Earthers also reject gravity, suggesting that the flat Earth is accelerating through space up at 9.8 m/s2 to give the illusion of gravity. The adherents of these views believe there is a massive conspiracy, involving NASA and the astronomical community, to cover up the existence of a flat Earth.
Some may think Flat Earthers are harmless eccentrics. They’re not. They are dangerous. Before long they will be combining with proponents of intelligent design to push the frontiers of scientific illiteracy even further. Soon they will be saying belief in a round Earth is a colonial and racist imposition, dreamed up by white men.
A bunch of flat headed cunts.
They also believe Australia doesn’t exist and is a fictional place manned with actors pretending to be from there.

Yes these are cunts, but I like them because they are silly. Silly is cool..

The poster boy of flerfs is Nathan Oakley – a particularly odeous little sociopathic cunt who thinks he’s hard as fuck and shows his teeth to people when he’s shouting them down in “debates”………… also a child abuser. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfqRwOlnMb8
Has a very punchable face too.

Thick bastards, if they wanted to know the shape of the earth then just take two magnets try to touch both opposing poles together, it won’t be possible without great force and the magnets will follow a circular motion like an invisible ball, mimicking the earths magnetic poles hence the earth and planets are round, the magnets would not behave like this on a flat plain. Didn’t cost a million dollars did it you hopeless cunts, get a life flat earthers.

Love a bit of flat earth theory and UFOs and BigFoots, especially the Rednecks that go out in the woods whooping and hollering trying to attract the attention of a big hairy beast.( Wonder if it would work in Northumberland?)
Better than watching Dead Enders or Corronation Shite on the Idiot Lantern and always worth a laugh reading their flat earth comments during a Space X or NASA launch.
Filmed in a studio, CGI, blah blah blah.
They are truly mad and believe the high altitude nuclear tests in the 60s -Operation Fishbowl was actually an attempt by the US military to break or penetrate the ‘firmament’ that surrounds the flat earth (rather like a fishbowl) and prevents us from escaping….. Nutters.

They need to be careful doing those nuclear tests, they’ll knock us off the turtles back.

A guy mentioned flat Earth on Jeremy Vine Radio 2 the other day. For an internet larp going on 7 years, it sure isn’t going away. The internet is awash with people now “debunking” it 24/7 every day like it’s a big threat to NA$A, etc. “The lady protests too much” type of situation. Streisand Effect.

I’ve been rumbled. At least now I won’t have to go through the bother of painting swans black, the viscous bastards don’t like it.

The solution is to strap a few of the ardent believers to the nose of a SpaceX rocket and fire the cunts off into oblivion. And when the craft decelerates due to Max Q they can look down and see the obviouisly spherical earth in all it’s glory.

They probably believe that the earth is held up by 4 elephants on the back of a giant turtle as well.
