Flat Earthers and what to do with them

Ha!

It's flat - there's no getting around it

Ok I genuinely want that

icosahedron earth theory thread >>>>>>>>

You should see the fights those guys get in to with the dodecahedron earth theorists.

I tend to assume everyone's an idiot until they prove otherwise.

Lovely thread, hadn't seen it before. 2 years later I'd like to express agreement with Sumo. I've only skimmed through the thread so far, has there been any discussion about the 'hollow earth'-ers and if they're at war with flat earthers which I like to hope?

I’m pretty sure hollow earth has made an appearance here. It’s a particular favourite of mine!

Hollow earth is discussed on the inside of this thread.

A flat plane doesn’t have an inside...

Oh yes, it does.

hahA! I win the Internet argument!1!

Gah, you got me on a technicality!

Note the perfectly flat horizon in the background of that photograph. Proof, if proof be need be.

Long lens with a high crop-factor means the frame covers a very narrow arc of the horizon.

My flat universe disagrees

(^ a failed attempt at a cosmology/universe topology joke. I tried)

It wouldn't matter if it covered a larger arc, because it's flat all the way "around".

Yeah, well you can prove anything with facts can’t you?

Well known flat earther dies in campaign to prove lack of curvature of the earth, which oddly the article completely omits.

Steam-powered rocket?
Sounds like Brexit.

Just read that on the bbc . Looks like its a race to be last . Their is a a group of them in chester each saturday preaching .

. "I believe the Earth is flat," Hughes said. But "this flat Earth has nothing to do with the steam rocket launches," he added. "It never did; it never will. I'm a daredevil!"

Fair enough. Other outlets then are (mis)reporting that it was linked.

There is a link, both interests shows he was an idiot, and his stupidity brought about his demise.

Thought he was using the rocket to go to a certain altitude and prove the earth was flat..

Sad ending, what a ledge.

Is his status as a daredevil increased or decreased by his inability to accept science.
