Flat Earth Society

[Anchuent Christory]

There's a good post by a "RE'er"

This place goes something like this:

The moon is made of cheese.

No, it is not.

Prove me wrong.

 

[sparklemilhouse]

Woah. It's like these people stopped going to school after the 2nd grade.

I really want to see one of these people go up in a airplane and physically see the curve of the Earth.

Also if the Earth is flat. Why are the sun and every other planet in the solar system round?

 

[Duke Nukem]

Honestly I more annoyed at the REs over the FEs. Yeah the FEs are annoying and willingly ignorant, but the REs are fighting a losing battle. If someone is hellbent on the idea the earth is flat and that all evidence is faked, you will never change them. These REs need to log off and walk away.

Perhaps the round earthers are just attempting to troll. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the conspiratorial bent some of them have.

Here's an interesting quote from the Flat Earth article saved on RationalWiki. They have some interesting articles, despite the staff being politically biased to some degree.

Beyond the 150 foot Ice Wall is anyone's guess. How far the ice extends; how it terminates; and what exists beyond it, are questions to which no present human experience can reply. All we at present know is, that snow and hail, howling winds, and indescribable storms and hurricanes prevail; and that in every direction "human ingress is barred by unsealed escarpments of perpetual ice," extending farther than eye or telescope can penetrate, and becoming lost in gloom and darkness. Some hold that the tundra of ice and snow stretches forever eternally."[6]

Not sure if these are the same people, but a decade or so ago there was a Flat Earth Society that was basically just a less popular form of Pastafarianism, trollin' creationists.

These people cannot be real.

 

[The Dude]

These people cannot be real.

Oh...they're real. Remember, many a lolcow has had the same thing said about them. "They can't be real. They must be troll."

True.
What do they think is underneath the Earth then? Like, if you dug all the way down would you fall into space? I just don't get it.

Turtles.

Perhaps the Earth is hollow, and a society of subterranean cannibals lives beneath us.

Or, alternatively, a firery crow of death.
We may never know.

 

[DykesDykesChina]

Wait, Terry Pratchett writes documentaries??

 

[autiste]

Yes, the world is actually supported on 4 gigantic elephants standing on an even more gigantic turtle called Acturin. Why would anyone question this?

BECAUSE ROUND EARTH RTOLLS!

I wonder if there's people who believe in both flat earth and hollow earth theories?

fuck me, I love discworld.

 

[The Dude]

Everyone knows a turtle holds the Earth on It's back. You can't fool me, It's turtles all the way down.

 

[HG 400]

I just looked, they're just trolling.

Half of them even admit to it.

 

[Surtur]

The Underdark is down there.

 

[Stuff and Things]

I knew that most of them had to be trolls... man, some people have way too much free time in their hands, but hey, some nazi scientist used to believe the "earth hollow theory" so yeah... i won't be surprised if some people actually believe that the earth is flat.
