I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Just run to the edge then.
They'd just hit the ice wall, idiot. And if they made it through that they would hit the ocean of the second flat world beyond our own. If they got through that they would hit either the scorched wastes, the frozen wastes, the abyssal ocean, or the walls of asgard..
Seriously, do you even do your own research?
I'd play the hell out of this videogame.
🤔 Isn't that basically Hellblade?
You mean if he ever gets past security.
America doesn't have the resources to watch effectively the border with Mexico, but they can guard the full earth "circumference"... AAAAND keep everyone quiet about it.
See you on the other side
I actually had a guy come into a store I used to work in, he came around closing.. guy would not leave until I heard his salespitch about the flat earth...
A week later I learned he called corporate who demanded I be fired over refusing to hear him out. Manager told me he had no choice, fire me or get fired and have the replacement fire me.
It worked out though, Travis eventually left and the new manager couldn't get anyone to stay... when he found my old file and how long I stayed he offered my job back.
I had found something closer, easier, and higher paying so I just laughed the offer off. I love my new gig
So your manager, in a retail store, that presumably exclusively sold non-flat-earth items, caved to a whack-job who wanted you to be fired because you wouldn’t waste your productive work time listening to his whack-job bullshit (closing is almost always more than turning the lights off and locking up), and actually fired you?
Sounds like the manager did you a favor. He did have a choice… standing up for his employees agains unreasonable nonsense like that.
Online, yeah I'd say about 2/3s of them are, but the shit they're saying usually originates from actual Flat Earther content.
What makes you think so?
"Ball earthists".
I knew someone who like to use flat Earthism to illustrate that there's little point in debating someone who has no interest in being persuaded. He'd basically state the Earth is flat and use every rhetorical trick in the book to defend his position, exhaust his opponent, and then say, "Could you imagine how frustrated you'd be if I actually believed any of that?" He eventually got his DDS of all things, but I thought he'd make a good lawyer.
You can debate someone into changing their mind but it's more like water eroding a stone than any cathartic moment you'd hope for. It's still worthwhile especially when you consider an audience that's not inhibited by being 'under attack'
It's actually religious for some of them. They take the whole biblical "firmament" idea literally.
When you get deeper, 90% of the time it's just one of a dozen "facts" they've adopted to service the core belief that jews are responsible for [effects of capitalism]
Well I got good news for you. This isn't a planet. It's a giant rug thats's floating in space propelled by genie's dark matter astro-projection that moves us at 9.8 meters/sec² and our world was created by an entity named God who's 3 wishes to the genie was 1. to create this magnificient space rug to house 2. the people that will be ~~spawned~~ created on this wonderful place and will 3. forever worship God and his Magnificient Space Rug and that non-believers will have to suffer their entire life believing in the Round-Earth Conspiracy.
Thank God™ for helping us realize the truth. 🤓
