Yep. I "find it totally baffling that such a distorted view of the earth can still be held by some people in spite of the evidence" @molometer.

Reminds me of the theory that man never landed on the moon.

Your photographs remind me of the views from Devils Dyke on the South Downs.

Looking forward to hearing about your first glider flight! 😊

There are so many ignorant people in the world. It's shocking. Take a look at these three geniuses.

Morning @molometer

Are you on Discord and are you any good with markdown?

I've been trying to do a particular post for weeks and can't get it to work. It's such a massive waste of time!!!!!

There is a markdown guide link when you are creating your posts. What is it that you need to know?

I don't use discord that often. @gillianpearce

Surely these people must just be winding everyone up!

It's hilarious. 😂

I have the same question as Holly. If the earth is flat why has no-one fallen off it?!

It's shocking that this ended up getting on mainstream tv!

Three examples of humans less advanced in mental, physical, or social development than is usual for their age.

Either very foolish or just plain stupid.

These people are the reason for the need for health and safety laws. They are just dumb as f*@k

I thought too that it was a wind up?

I actually enjoyed it @molometer. It was fun watching the presenters having to keep a calm front.

These are probably also the people who ignore health and safety laws! 😂

Haha you are probably right. Stupid is as stupid does.
Love this quote from @momzillanc

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.” ~Voltaire

I wasn't aware that there were people who believed in a flat earth until I read someone's comment here on Steemit about how a woman who worked for NASA should not be able to post about her work because it was essentially brainwashing readers or perpetuating falsehoods.

More recently I have read comments by folks who think it wouldn't take a huge worldwide conspiracy to cover up the fact that the world is actually flat. Very few people even know it, and they want to keep it a secret. Why, I never did figure out.

I guess if the world is flat, than the moon is also flat but disc shaped? Or are we seeing an atmospheric optical illusion every night?

It is baffling that these ideas persist in the face of all the evidence?
I've travelled around the world and it's definitely not flat.
Did you watch the video? These numbskulls are getting a lot of media attention!
Heck we're talking about it too lol

I did watch it. They seem very convinced. The guy on the far left was the most articulate. The other two, especially the guy on the right, not so much. The guy in the middle talked way too much for all of their good. I really need to find out what people who believe in a flat earth think those who claim it is spherical are trying to pull. So what if we didn't ever go into orbit or to the moon? Is it financial—they don't think the money should be spent on anything related to it? Or is it something else—like it would make that big of the difference if people knew the world was flat as opposed to it being roughly ball shaped?

"Why can't they show us people walking upside down? Or airplanes flying upside down?" Well, on their part of the globe, they think we're the ones walking upside down. I don't know. I think it would be much more evident that we were living on a flat planet if people actually got to the end of it and had to turn around. All of the people who have circumnavigated the earth? I just don't understand what supposed to be accomplished by duping us all into thinking the world is round. There's obviously still something in the sky we call a moon that comes and goes. We're still orbiting around the sun. Which I suppose both those things have to be flat, too.

It truly is mind boggling. What is wrong with these guys? Why would anyone think this way?
#baffled lol @glenalbrethsen

Terrific pictures.

And, yes, I “find it totally baffling” that anyone could still cling to the flat earth idea.

The kind of minds leaping through such mental contortions are the same kinds of people believing this mendacious regime in the States, and praising it’s capricious and downright cruel agenda.

You nailed it @momzillanc the bigger the lie the more people believe it.
And there are an awful lot of ignorant people out there.
Great quote and so appropriate too. tip!

I think it is possible that some folks like to say they believe it, but just do it for a gag.

6% of the UK population believe it according to a poll!?
Of course they could all be lying.
No one admits to voting conservative but they got elected?

Did you watch the video clip?....just dumb as! @old-guy-photos

lovely black and white minimalism

Thank you I thought so too.
