With the death of Mad Mike over the weekend, Twitter is lit up with the progressives delighting in his demise and using it as a Darwin Award meme.

While I hate these soulless progs with the heat of a thousand suns, Flat Earthers are a curious thing to me.

Do you think they actually believe the Earth is flat, or do they just enjoy riling people up over something harmless?

I've been to the edge of the Earth in my boat; I took a piss and watched it float out into space.

I believe some truly believe the earth is flat while others simply like the T-shirts.

Yeah I actually worked with a guy who was a flat-earther and I wanted to punch him in the throat constantly. Then one day he informed me that he had never finished the 6th grade. Then it all made sense...

My vote is started by trolls who now monetize it from the idiots.

Some of both...
The nonstop NASA lying bullshite sent them over the edge...

Think about it, in school we're given the glorious, noble government organization that is trekking forward for all mankind...

That have many published photos from past up until now photoshopped...

Mad Mike may not have found out the earth was flat... but he did learn that the earth is hard.

Flat Earthers are just mindless trolls to be sure, but you really have to stop spreading misinformation about heat coming from the Sun. Space is cold and not heated by the Sun, so how could Earth be? The Earth is clearly heated from within.

I thinks it's cool the guy built his own rocket and launched it. He had done one before that went up to 2000 feet I think. Going out in your own rocket is a cool way to go.

Going out trying to prove the Earth is flat is just stupid.

They are a CIA inspired movement propped by our media to discredit honeycomb earth, which is real.

There was a Netflix documentary about FE folks that was really fascinating.

The thing I find the most interesting is that their diorama model/theory is much more elaborate and hard to pull off than just accepting that the globe is spherical.
