watching a Netflix documentary on flat-Earthers

It's called Behind the Curve.

My sputtering responses (in my head) to a lot of what the interviewees said:

"Wha-- . . . " or "How do y-- . . . " etc.

I want to ask every last one of them, "aren't you tired?" - because maintaining a belief a stupid as "the earth is flat" has got to be exhausting.

Have you seen this film?

Do you know any flat-Earthers? Ever got into a discussion with a stranger of flat Earth v. globe* Earth?

One guy being interviewed is wearing a t-shirt that reads:

LOVE + TRUTH
=
FLAT EARTH




*globular? 😁

To interact on that topic with a Flat Earther. I know one and have so little respect for him and his thinking that I could not converse with him and maintain my composure.

On any matter? I'd have a hard time talking with a flat Earther about the weather. Because weather is bound to come up. Actually, that might be fun. If ask about how weather works on an enormous domed plane, I wonder: what would the answer be? Hmm.

not flat. If it were, they would have knocked everything over the edge already.

debunking Flat Earth bullshit. You can just Google that. Lots, and lots of videos. Fortunately I have never actually crossed paths with a flat Earther. I have zero patience for willful ignorance.
