Do flat earthers think that the Mars Rover is actually in, like, the Sahara or something?

It's a sound stage in Hollywood. Kubrick is still alive and he directs all "transmissions" from Mars.

 

[rokkerkory]

Kyrie really?

 

[HStallion]

What a dunce. Everyone knows its a cube.

 

[Tubobutts]

Anti-science America smh

Technically he's Australian so blame them.

 

[Rocketz]

Time to trade him. Cavs your my team but you know what needs to be done.

 

[jon bones]

you don't need to be bright to play well

 

[Trey]

1) he's joking. All flat Earthers are joking, there's no way this is even a discussion

2) the author answers his own question:



Flat Earth is just the ultimate internet trolling.

Here's a link to the podcast the article is referencing. It is about 15 minutes in where he goes on his flat earth pitch. He sounds rather serious.

 

[Fisty]

Fucking Annunaki-worshipping liberals trying to cover up the truth, they want us to think it's a sphere so they can continue to put contaminated stem cells in our Pepsi-cola

No you misunderstand. Kubrick is actually on Mars directing all the stuff we see firsthand as to cut out the evidence of aliens. The poor rover has its lens taped open while moonlight sonata plays.

 

[therealist]

Theres a 3-1 joke in this somewhere

 

[h1nch]

Whether the world is flat or round is irrelevant since we're all in a simulation

Listen idk who your source is but I've done thousands of hours of independent research. I'm in contact with some significant higher ups, part of a secret society that is actually running this "earth" people know. You're being brainwashed.

pi = 3.14

 

[paradise_circus]

Anti-science America smh

These kind of people are everywhere.

 

[Alucrid]

Not arguing the earth is flat at all, but isn't this false? The way the horizon looks is more of an optical illusion.

Something something trick of the light.

Yeah, this is true. Still, there are so many ways to easily refute this theory.

Him doubting the existence of other planets is also bizarre.

i should get a refund from my high school science teacher

 

[Rebel Leader]

So evry thing is round except earth?

 

[How About No]

The Harlem Globetrotters were pushing some very dangerous misinformation

 

[CB3]

This is somehow worse than that Rams guy on Hard Knocks talking about how dinosaurs were fake.

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

My brain is full of fuck.gif

instead of Jackie Chan, make it Kyrie Irving

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

This is somehow worse than that Rams guy on Hard Knocks talking about how dinosaurs were fake.

Are you sure it wasn't Jeff Fisher that said this /s

 

[Gin-Shiio]

It's great that the sun is out on all parts of the world at the same time.

 

[JaseMath]

Walls of ice? What the fuck...

 

[L Thammy]

This dude goes on a plane at least 41 times a year. Look out the window my man.

Who else would know more about the Earth's curvature? He probably could see the wall of ice from the plane.

It's great that the sun is out on all parts of the world at the same time.

Europeans are actually vampires who walk around at night. Don't let them trick you.

 

[Marvel]

What a moron, lol.

 

[Lkr]

You guys can bag on kyrie all you want but at the end of the day he's rich and you all have to go back to your shitty lives.

Wait wrong Cleveland NBA champ

 

[righthandmouse]

Uhhhh keep walking. it is flat. let me know when you go over the curve.

 

[K.Jack]

He was clearly taking the piss. People are going to report it like he was serious?

 

[Slackbladder]

It's perfectly simple. Wealth allows people to create their own reality where they feel safe and secure. Where as the rest of us have no choice but to deal with actual reality because it's constantly biting you in the ass!
Wealth does not make you smarter. It can, however, make you immune to reality. I mean look at The Cunt? (That's Trump, by the way).

 

[Ogodei]

Maybe it's some sort of cult to cover for something else it's adherents are up to. Many conspiracies at least have a semblance of viability to them: Chemtrails, ancient aliens, the Moon Landing hoax, 9/11 or Sandy Hook truthing (as horrible as they are), or Holocaust denial (on a whole other level of awful). In all cases the arguments are stupid, but the narrative is coherent and holds up to at least a tiny bit of scrutiny.

You only have to go up a tall hill to see that flat-earthing is bullshit, and there's nothing to gain from adhering to it (unlike some of the scummier conspiracies designed to push a political agenda, like Sandy Hook, 9/11, and the Holocaust). So why?

 

[FormallyFamicom]

Kyrie has enough money to go find the edge of the earth if he really believes this.

 

[DizzyCaffeine]

I wonder who convinced him that the earth is flat. I mean, it's not like someone just wakes up one day and decides that globes are a bunch of bullshit. He had to have been influenced into believing this.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

yup.. looks flat to me

/smh

Paper plates are round and flat. Obviously the Earth is just like that.

 

[rjc571]

If the Earth is flat, what's on the bottom side?

 

[Marquis]

C'mon Kyrie, your too good for this bro.

 

[Loomer]

Just like time, earth is a flat circle.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

If the Earth is flat, what's on the bottom side?

All the lava that comes out of volcanoes, duh!

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Is he joking and the basketball's going over our heads? Or is he serious?

Maybe he's take the term of home court too literally.

 

[L Thammy]

If the Earth is flat, what's on the bottom side?

Four gigantic turtles. When they fight over where to carry the Earth throughout the universe, they cause earthquakes.

 

[Two Words]

Maybe that's why his shot is so flat.

 

[righthandmouse]

Earth may look round from space, but it is in fact flat.

 

[mike6467]

If the Earth is flat, what's on the bottom side?

Turtles. Turtles all the way down.

Edit: Beaten, and with a wittier response even.

 

[chefbags]

one of year of college man. i guess round earth was in year 2

Or maybe even earth 2.

 

[apocalidiot]

He was clearly taking the piss. People are going to report it like he was serious?

You're wrong

Here's a link to the podcast the article is referencing. It is about 15 minutes in where he goes on his flat earth pitch. He sounds rather serious.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

Flat Earth is so boring. Why not Hollow Earth or Hypercube Earth?

 

[T-0800]

I don't agree with him, but really, does it matter?

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

You guys can bag on kyrie all you want but at the end of the day he's rich and you all have to go back to your shitty lives.

Wait wrong Cleveland NBA champ

He saved them with that three anyway. He's the real champ in Cle. Got that Kobe mentality.

 

[msdstc]

I don't agree with him, but really, does it matter?

It kinda sorta does.

 

[Button]

According to a friend of mine the Earth is actually flat. It is constantly accelerating upwards at a rate of 9.81 m/s^2 and we experience this as "gravity". The accelerating Earth avoids exceeding the speed of light, because the speed of light is fake.

I don't remember more of the #facts.

 

[Reptars Revenge]

Dude never made it to the big twist about it on page 10 of his history book.

 

[L Thammy]

Flat Earth is so boring. Why not Hollow Earth or Hypercube Earth?

Who says you can't have a hollow Earth inside a flat Earth? Where do you think flatworms live?
