First off, im not a flat earther, but I would like to understand why people think the earth is flat.

Also, what are theories about Antarctica, aside from what most people believe.

I know there will be plenty of sarcastic posts, but I’d genuinely like to have resources to better understand these two subjects

Thank you

Idk, see that stuff posted on X.

I'd ask those people:

Is Mars flat? Or just a disc?

The Moon?

Do you believe the moon is real?

Because they are stupid and ignorant. And they don't know what they don't know. And they THINK they are smarter than all of the rest of us. But... they are simply ignorant.

Also... Liberator incoming in 5...4....3....

Antarctica is controlled by the Bilderberg group. Used to be a guy here who knew all about it. Name might have started with a P. Can't remember. Parmen, maybe? Think he was a flat earther as well.

I’m a Christian who believes in a literal 6-day creation and a global flood and I don’t believe the earth is flat.

I’ll try to get on board with flat earth once some one can explain flights from South African to New Zealand in less time than the disk shows to to be.

I honestly believe it was started by a handful of people who just have an inclination to assume anything the government has told you is false. When you have a government that lies as often and as hard as ours does, it honestly makes sense to question things when they double down the most. Add in the fact that most people can't go up to prove it themselves, it perpetuates.

I don't know where to read about it as I think it's too far-fetched to have real discussion.

Theories about Antarctica are the usual things-- secret military bases, alien crash sites, secret alien civilizations, climate machines. Again since most people can't go there and only a select few have real experience, people will speculate forever.

Not in every case, but in a lot of them, flat earthers also tend to be fundamentalist Christians who take the entire Bible as literal truth. In that, they hold that the Earth is the center of God’s universe, and interpret the “firmament” as an impregnable barrier that can’t be traversed. That’s my obersvation from reading a lot of FB posts anyway.. The rest are just trolls who know how absolutely ignorant that belief is, but like to get the normies all rolled up.

I have no idea nor do I care what shape the Earth is. Same for the question of if we went to the moon. I don't care. It would have absolutely zero affect on my life if I found out the Earth wasn't round and we didn't land on the moon.

I really don't get why people like you get so goddamn bent out of shape over the matter.

Tell me specifically how your life would change in any meaningful way.

I’ve been a Christian my whole life, have attended multiple churches in multiple denominations, listened to thousands of pod casts and YouTube videos and have never seen a Christian who believes in a flat earth. I’ve seen them argue against it.

I’ve seen several flat earthers do experiments to try to prove the earth is flat with no mention of religion.

Anyone who claims to be Christian and believes in a flat earth are on the fringe for sure.

A flat earther went to Antarctica with a round earth group that was doing experiments to prove the world is round. He converted. That is all I got. Lots of youtube videos about it apparently.

Ummm..bent out of shape? Don't confuse making fun of morons with being "bent out of shape." But, whatever, you do you there, little man.

Those are fun convos tbf for the thought of it but that’s nonsense about Antarctica being an ice wall around the edge of the earth if that’s what you’re getting at. Thypreparedanus will give you the hot takes

Flat earth is stupid shite for stupid people.

Antarctica is an entire continent full of resources that the entirety of the human species agreed that for the first time in history nobody was going to try to claim it or even attempt to capture those resources. At the same time. Total unison.

Or...

We're not invited.
