The flat earther community seems to be growing, and it's beginning to worry me. It's not just a question of lacking science education, there is more going on here.

Social media has taught me two things. First, there are some incredibly brilliant people in the world. Second, they are vastly outnumbered.
-
Wikipedia says "The Flat Earth Society has members from all over the globe" Now that is what i call humour.
-
As an Aussie I'm worried about them too. They said Australia dosen't exist, so I'm worried about where I've been for the last 65 years.
-
As a New Zealander, I'm concerned by how dangerously close they've placed us next to the edge of the world where the water drops off 💧😭

Isaac Asimov said: "Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
-
Flat Earthers have nothing to fear but Sphere itself.
-
There is a VERY wide line between healthy skepticism and reality denial. Flat earthers don't see any line at all.
-
One thing that I've seen flat earthers do is find every reason to ignore the findings of their own experiments when they prove that the earth is a globe.
-
Flat Earthers don't really care what shape the Earth is, they just want to play a game of one-upmanship by adopting an absurd opinion and then defending it against all reason like a passive-aggressive jackass.
-
I recently had a....debate with a flat earther. We were proceeding with the discussion up until he told me, AND I QUOTE, “not to use science and logic” when trying to persuade him. So ended THAT conversation.
-
As someone into astrophotography, even we get accused of lying for simply posting images of our hobby. I've been called a CIA asset by some guys on TikTok. Flat earth is like a collective paranoid schizophrenia.
-
I'm sorry, but the flat Earth being hit a meteor, tilting and thus tossing the dinosaurs into space was just hilarious! 🤣
-
I watch a lot of flat earth stuff on YT. What I've learned is that flat earthers don't want to learn anything. They just want their opinion confirmed. Anything that deviates from that is rejected.
-
I think part of the attraction is also being part of a select club and feeling smarter than the "sheeple" because you "figured something out" that others haven't.
-
I am fed up qualifying my concern about flat Earthism / science denialism. So often I'm told while combatting their idiocy, "Just ignore it, they're trolls", "Why does it bother you so much?". The rise in anti-intellectualism is both worrying and increasing, more than anyone might be willing to admit. It is a creeping malady that will have a lasting effect on the human race if we do not staunch the haemorrhage sooner rather than later.
-
Never could I ever get an FEer to explain how the stars rotate in a clockwise direction around the South Celestial Pole.
-
“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.” Voltaire
-
Maybe we can get them to compromise. First get them to settle on the idea on Earth being a cube. Then we can gradually round off the edges over time.
-
When I try to have a diskussion with flat earthers, none of them can explain it to me. They all type: do your researche😂😂😂
-
I am pretty convinced Flat Earthers used to be avid gardeners, who stepped on a multitude of rakes and got hit in the head by the handles.
