Brazil's flat Earthers to get their day in the sun: A first-ever conference in São Paulo will mark a high point for a theory that has thrived under the far-right President Bolsonaro.

Like Britain and the United States, Brazil is seeing a revival of flat Earth theory: 7% of the population – 11 million Brazilians – believe that the Earth is flat, according to the polling firm Datafolha. The poll noted believers were more likely to be religious or poorly educated.

That's extraordinary & scary.

Well, maybe the Earth is flat in Brazil. How would we know, since we live so far away?

That's a fair point. I'm quite liking the idea that only certain countries are flat, need a fun name for this theory.

On that note, I guess people from Norfolk might be more (or rather less) inclined to take the same viewpoint.
