Even a lot of ancient peoples didn't think the earth was flat because you could study how the shadows of celestial objects curved and stuff. I dunno

medieval arabians basically put the world is round idea into in the general public i think (huge citation needed). they almost got the circumference (or something else with size) of the earth correct

i've tried the hysterical rager style before, and it really doesn't work for satire as well as you'd think.

all i can imagine from pefu's post is just a little 9 year old banging on his keyboard as hard as possible with each key to try to show how mad he is

i didnt think the flat earth society was completely fake. though i bet lots of them there are trolling for fun. i think there are a ton of legit believers there lol

"Using the "round Earth" theory, setting an object on the earth would be like setting grains of sand on a beach ball. Certainly a few grains would stay - right around the top, the surface is nearly horizontal - but when you stray too far from the absolute top of the ball, the grains of sand start sliding off and falling onto the ground. The Earth, if round, should behave in exactly the same fashion. Because the top is a very localized region on a sphere, if the Earth were in fact round, there would be only a very small area of land that would be at all inhabitable. Stray to the outside fringes of the "safe zone", and you start walking at a tilt. The further out you go, the more you slant, until your very survival is determined by the tread on your boots. Reach a certain point, and you slide off the face of the planet entirely. Obviously, something is wrong."
