the problem is that it drags the rest of us back

Do they think the Earth is on a giant Petri dish?
How else you gonna stop the water from spilling off the edge??
I've seen people who believe in a "hollow earth" as well.
They believe that there's an advanced civilization that lives on the inside of the earth, and that there are massive chasms and holes that go down there in the Bermuda triangle and North Pole.
Not making this shit up.
I guess at least they believe that the earth is a sphere-ish object.
In all good conspiracy theories, nefarious forces are benefiting somehow. Here, what's to gain by hiding the fact that the Earth is flat? Or, in conspiracy language: Cui bono? Soros? Big-spherical Earth?
There are three common explanations for this, but in the end without toppling the Planar Conspiracy there is no real way to know.
To Maintain Legitimacy: During the Cold War we faked the moon landing. Shortly after they realized the reason they could not reach the moon was due to the flatness of the Earth. They were stuck in a lie, and had to continue it or lose legitimacy of our governments. Even today we would still hold onto this lie due to role Science plays in our ruling government.
To hide the truth of the Bible.
To Gain Power and Money: By siphoning off the space budgets and denying the world the resources of the Antarctic they gain a considerable amount of power and wealth.
See, this is what I first thought of. But then I realized I'd just lie about being a flat earther to get a free space vacation.Put them all on a rocket and shoot them into space to prove them wrong.
why is flat earth having such a huge resurgence anyways
"lol, he thinks there are other planets."
Did you even watch the debates? He never said that.I blame Trump for this.
When the President of the U.S posts shit like this:
He basically declared an all out war on academia. Now all the truthers are coming out feeling vindicated that someone as dumb as they are now in power.

More or less, yeah. Antarctica is actually a giant ice wall that encloses the flat earth.
And there are oceans and land beyond it that we don't know of. Nazi U boats were trying to get through to find their own continent to settle on.

Shit so when my 80 something grandparents took a cruise there, they actually got to see a black hole? Jealous.There's a theory that there's a Black Hole in Antarctica and that's why they don't let anyone go near it.
Yeah that's completely rediculous, the reason we don't fall off is because of God and His holy grace.
I think I just became slightly dumber.

lots of flat earth threads lately
I can understand hollow Earth but I'll never understand flat Earth.
Fixed
According to the Flat Earth Society FAQ:
You know they're really detached from reality when they can make that claimEven today we would still hold onto this lie due to role Science plays in our ruling government.
To hide the truth of the Bible.
I never said I understood what the fuck they were talking about, just that the theory existed...and is insane.
Tbh, flat earth society IS A troll website, or at least it originally was. It's scary that some people​ actually subscribe to that line of thought, however.You know they're really detached from reality when they can make that claim
I wish science played such a massive role in our ruling government
I don't think they believe dinosaurs existed.
End of thread.
How do flat earth people explain time zones? That's got to be one of the most obvious observable effects of Earth being round right?
Do they think the sun and the moon are also flat? Do they even believe in either of those? Haha.
Yup, and the argument the guy who believes in the flat-earth said that if he hasn't seen it with his own eyes, it isn't true.
One of my best friends in HS was awesome, nice, driven, played alongside me on the football team. He was a cool, funny dude. Kind of dumb, but harmlessly so.
Occasionally, in the last few years, I'd see people post weird shit on his wall about illuminati banks or some shit. So this thread made me interested in checking out to see what his latest thing was.
Second thing on his wall was some conspiracy posted by someone he knew, with this as a comment from a different friend:
call them stupid, no need to use euphemisms.there are always going to be ignorant people
