So do flat earthers believe that just the Earth is flat or do they think that all the planets and their satellites (and the moon) are flat too?
Or is earth flat with a spherical moon floating above it, and somehow changing phases all the time? Is the sun flat too?
Or do they think that all of space and the stars etc are just made up?
I find it hilarious these crackpots with their terrible home made experiments and long rambling videos explaining they hole-ridden 'theories'. At the same time, the lack of respect in science, the scientific method in these people is worrying...and the biggest irony is that they're using the internet to publish their theories. Literally the medium they are using to communicate disproves their point.
- Just the earth. Everything else is round.monospaced
- the internet is awash with such drivel and people have become v.rich and famous peddling such nonsense, Google Sandy Hook if you want to see how low they go.fadein11
- Flat Earth has only got so much attention because it is a more fun kind nonsense, it doesn't involve dead children or people jumping out of skyscraper windows.fadein11
- would make sense if they think the moon is flat as we only see one side of it!mugwart
- they don't think the moon is flat, they don't even think it exists ... it's just a picture of a moon, projected on the dome, OBVIOUSLYmonospaced
- I think this movement is gaining traction only because it upsets everyone elsedrgs
- this is the way religion works doesn't it? blindly believe nonsense because everyone else does even though it's totally illogical._niko
- ^ i odnt think thats how religion works.
^^^ they dont think the world exists?
I dont even want to search for thatmugwart - yeah, it's a part of how it works ... people believe in religions because everyone else around them does ... that and threatsmonospaced
- That doesnt sound like relgion - it sounds like cattle thinking. You could the same about most things today.mugwart
- not reallymonospaced
- I disagree!mugwart
- post people I know have replaced "religion" with "science". i hear all the time - I don't believe in anything but science. I mean what the fuck does that meanmugwart
- I feel sorry for you.monospaced
- its okay most people do!mugwart
- But seriously. It MEANS they believe in the process of figuring things out, aka the technological and knowledge progress man has made in the millennia.monospaced
- It means taking other people's word for things...set
- Quantifying and explaining everything, as if this magical, unfathomable reality can really be explained.set
- It's another way to keep people's minds in chains. Locked in the science matrix. Nothing is magical and I know everything. lol to thatset
- They defend logic and science to the teeth, too, like it were their religion :)set
- Yes set, very good, it does rely on established knowledge in order to keep progressing. It’s that very mechanism that defines the scientific method.monospaced
- And yes, you’re right, there’s much that can’t be explained (yet). But almost entirely through the sciences, mankind has expanded that knowledge.monospaced
- Nobody is claiming “science” has the answer to everything. It’s the sciences through which we discover answers and refine (question) our understanding.monospaced
- This is exactly why we know the earth is a sphere, and have for centuries. If the same rigor of the sciences was applied to flat earth, it would be disproved.monospaced
- At a certain point, you must take others words for things. Certain things progress from hypotheses to actual working theories. Finally laws.monospaced
- Gravity is a theory. It’s been proposed, and verified, over and over. That understanding helped take us beyond the solar system through voyagers travels.monospaced
- Without that trust, we wouldn’t progress. It’s why we trust our aircraft and the laws of aerodynamics. Why we trust modern medicine to save lives.monospaced
- So science simply is the process of figuring things out. There are bumps along the way, but it’s what has got us to where we are today,monospaced
- Religion doesn’t do anything like that. They aren’t remotely comparable in my opinion. Have a great night.monospaced

Flat Earth, would actually be a cool blockbuster sci-fi feature film.
- i'm making a kickstarter page for itsted
- Just the title alone would be Epicutopian
- I would watch it.monospaced
- I envision the title image that imbecile

other than trolls, does anyone actually believe this? is this this something that creationists believe as well?
- My gut says almost certainly.Continuity
- well 3000 years of history and flat earth do sit well together.fadein11
- I am certain there's at least 2-3 people on QBN that believe...that the world is flat.utopian

Something I've been wondering about. Do Flat Earthers also believe all the other celestial bodies are flat? The moon, Sun, asteroids, Saturn, etc.?
- The flat earther I know thinks the planets and stars are made of gas because when she zooms in to them with a camera they go out of focusPhanLo
- Fascinatingskinny_puppy
- Well... the stars ARE made of gas so she’s accidentally correct on that hahahahanb
- She also thinks the moon is just a reflection of the flat earth in the glass dome and that the 'stars' are just outside the glassPhanLo
- So many questions. Where did the glass dome come from? What causes the change in seasons?skinny_puppy
- The dome comes from the bible, so god I suppose. Must have some size of glow blowerPhanLo
- Who installed the giant glass dome? I'm looking for a good glass installer.dbloc

- How thick is the Earth?
- Is there people living on the sides?
- Whats under the disc?
- Why have we never heard of the other side of the disc?
- Why there's no videos or pictures or any other litteracy about the edge of the disc and the other side of the disc?- not seen dark city ;-)mugwart
- I believe (admit from tiny exposure to subject) they believe its just a wall of ice or something.mugwart
- - 8 inches
- No there isn't (sic), they would falls (sic) off
- A turtle shell
- It's unpopulated, therefore silent
- Because nobody has gone there yetNOTNOTORAZAL - # stupid answers for stupid questionsNOTNOTORAZAL
- lolBennn
- if the disc is 8 inches, how can my basement be 8 feet in the ground. BAM! BUSTED MUTHFKR!Bennn
- I guess you've never done anal.NOTNOTORAZAL
- 8-20 miles thick. Space around disc. No space travel = no other side. No pictures of edge because secret military for over 5,000 years guarding it.monospaced
- Simple answer: earth is not flatmonospaced

- To be fair (no I'm not a flat) you cant trust film footage, if NASA is faking they'd have the techniques locked down by now. I work in VFX, I know how to breakmugwart
- that shot down and film it.mugwart
- If Nasa is lying to us I wouldnt be surprised. I do agree with a single point they say. The control group have educated us but what is stopping them from lyingmugwart
- oh c'mon mugwart, you can't be seriousmonospaced
- as if NASA was the only space agency aroundmonospaced
- I DONT believe the earth is flat no.mugwart
- but I see the same argument mutated throughout every argument we seem to see this moment.mugwart
- can we trust our governments and our history.mugwart
- If someone had a completing case for a flat earth it would be get if NASA would work WITH them to prove it. Humanity moves forwardmugwart
- let people question and explore. I dont care what it is.mugwart
- We shouldn't ridical thoughmugwart
- 10 years ago the ancient theory was laughed at. No research is starting to agree.mugwart
- It is 100% okay to ridicule any ducking drooling retard who even entertains the planet isn't a sphere like all the other celestial bodies in existence.monospaced
- Nothing is further from critical thinking than thinking the earth is a flat plane. It's about as stupid an idea any person could think imaginable.monospaced
- I dont think anyone can point and say that they are a retard for not thinking like you nor anyone else. Humanity (sometimes) benifits greatly from thismugwart
- I'm a paranoid, my belief is something very different about this 'debate'.mugwart
- I've said this before, Tolkien believed he wasn't writing fiction and that the earth was hollow. Maybe it is maybe it didnt but be cant deny the cultural impactmugwart
- it had.mugwart
- If someone thinks the earth is flat, they are either very stupid or delusional. Impact on culture has nothing to do with truth.monospaced
- And Tolkien was fucking retarded if he thought the earth was hollow. If ridicule his ass too.monospaced

someone should start a gofundme account for one of these famous FlatEarthTards to fund a ticket for the first Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo launch... preferably Kyrie Irving or the like... someone w/a pop culture-esque persona that has an extended public reach whom's fucking w/the heads of otherwise 'normal' people capable of understanding simple calculus and euclidean geometry by age 13
- yugest run-on I've ever written right there, folksPonyBoy
- I bet they would love that. For them its probably a deep frustration not being able to get up there and look down.mugwart
- Would be good to build a fake rocket ship, get a load of them in it, say it was going to take off. Then burn it.PhanLo

Rapper wants to prove once and for all that the Earth is flat, Holla.
The "Nothin' on You" star has started a GoFundMe campaign to find Earth's curve and see if our planet is actually round (and not a flat disc hanging in space as flat Earthers typically believe).
- Wants to produce and launch his own satellites for £140k. LOLHayzilla
- Just stick him in a rocket and fire him into space,PhanLo
- nothing wrong with wanting to prove something for yourself.... might end this madness for real yo!mugwart
- $1,500 of the $1,000,000 has been raised in only one month. Hilarious.monospaced
