You can always treat stuff as science fiction and enjoy regardless. What's the harm!

Increasingly large segments of society are losing their grip on reality. Distinguishing fact from fiction requires practice if it is to work when it matters.

Just look at OP asking me to prove a negative, something literally impossible.

A lot. Imagine antivax and flatearther use your argument when caught lying.

Man, I could be wrong but I swear the flat earth started as a joke like the whole "birds aren't real" thing. But it had a more intellectual thought excersizey angle like "tell me why the earth is round". I know for a fact that's how my earth science teacher used it getting into how to structure a testable hypothesis and the scientific method. I wonder everytime I see flat earth shit when exactly he had to retire that one. It's to bad because it was great then.
