I’m fascinated by this topic, specifically that there are so many who seem to believe the earth is flat.

Not here to argue, but my question…I still don’t get it…what is the reason that “everyone who really knows the truth” is lying and saying the earth is round?

What’s the advantage of perpetuating a round earth hoax? I honestly want to know.

So I know a guy that answers this question with th e following”


“It’s a way to derive be money from the public knowing that the money is spent on black ops, man.

NASA means “to deceive” in hebrew, man”.

I am not a flat earther...

But I reckon the conspiracy argument might be that there are "installations" at the edges that "we" aren't allowed to know about? No.. that sounds stupid, too... anyone wanna go to a flat earth website and find the arguments?

I for one am convinced nobody actually believes the earth is flat in 2025.

But there are a shite ton of trolls in this world.

Bobby told Lucy, "The world ain't round...
Drops off sharp at the edge of town
Lucy, you know the world must be flat
'Cause when people leave town, they never come back"

They don’t believe it. They just seek being the obnoxious class clown hoping for attention.

yea, it's much more likely we are on ball that's revolving on its own axis at 1,037 mph while revolving around the sun at 67 thousand miles per hour, while also moving at 487 thousand throughout the milky way, as the milky way moves through the universe at 1.3 million miles per hour.

that is totally believable.

It’s biblical. For those that have read the Bible, and truly understand it in its context, and who presuppose univocality and inerrancy, it’s abundantly clear to them that the earth is a flat disk supported by giant pillars and with a solid dome structure on top of it holding back an ocean of water above the first heaven (there are 7 heavens). This thing called “biblical cosmology” is all over the Bible from Genesis to Joshua to the Psalms to Job to Paul’s letters to Hebrews to Revelation and to the gospels.

Same as perpetuating the evolution hoax or the earth being 4.5 billion years old hoax (instead of 6,100 years old).

Great. You’re who I’m looking for.

Again, not to argue whether the Earth is flat or not, I’m just wondering why 98% of the population believes that the Earth is round?

What is the purpose for continuing this false narrative?

What would be the purpose of the people who know the truth that “the Earth is flat” making the rest of us believe that the Earth is round?

I’m honestly interested in that question, but it’s never answered.

I’ve lost the ability to tell who is serious and who isn’t on this site because of how much insane shite gets posted here regularly so I sincerely can’t tell if you’re fricking around

If we were revolving on an axis at 1037 mph we'd be blown off the face of the Earth, man.

It's not relatively flat, I just know it's not a globe. I'll just post this here and if you watch it, sure, if not, it's ok. It is Tesla's 3,6,9 explanation. It's very informative.

these chumps seriously think they are propelling through the universe at 1,825 times the speed of sound.

not to mention, last night, well early early morning I watched Billy Strings in Brisbane. Not a single person was upside down.
