The only time I ever see or hear anything about flat earth is when people bitch about it on Reddit and now here.

My brother is a flat-earther. He talks about it all the time. One of these days I'm gonna throw him right off the edge.

I'm very sorry that you have to deal with that. Truly. I hope you are able to maintain the relationship and wish you the best.

Is he mentally unstable or unhealthy besides that one symptom? History of mental illness? TBI? What would happen if you took him on an airplane trip around the world from say NYC to London to Tokyo to LA back to NYC? I've never encountered such insanity except for online (in more ways than one heh) so this is pretty interesting to me.

Because they believe the North Pole is the center of the flat earth, I don't think this would convince him.

Taking a flight a long the southern hemisphere, though... flat earthers literally believe there are no flights between South America, southern Africa, Australia, new Zealand etc., because they're too far apart

Netflix has entire documentaries about these clowns. I wish the idea of a flatearth was something that I only heard about on Reddit or Lemmy.

This is like saying that the only time that I hear people say that the election was stolen is online, which is true. Yet there are a ton of people who believe it. I just don't associate with republicans / stupids.

You must live in a blue state. Or at least a bubble. Those people are everywhere so you should feel grateful that you think they are as mythical as flat earthers. (Maybe I should too I guess idk.)

I work with people who most likely believe in that, at the very least that they’re hardline trumpers.

[-] alertsleeper@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

sharing a meme about it is "bitching" about it?

[-] SeabassDan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's a meme, bro

[-] worldsayshi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Same about most things that people on social media rage about tbh.
