Flat Earthers -
If you get in an airplane and fly in a straight line, won't you eventually get to the edge? And then fly beyond the edge?
If not, why not?
I like the flat earth idea, btw, but I can't get past this one.

Flat earthers must have lived sheltered lives . By the time I was 16 or 17 I had been so high I could feel and see the curve of the earth.

Then explain the Coriolis effect. It's different in the northern and southern hemispheres. If the Earth were flat, it would be the same on every continent.
These guys say the coriolis force proves the Earth is flat.

Maybe it's because maps are racist.
Boston public schools map switch aims to amend 500 years of distortion
https://www.theguardian.com/educatio...ers-projection
A district will drop the Mercator projection, which physically diminished Africa and South America, for the Peters, which cut the developed world down to size
The German historian Arno Peters published his projection in 1974. It matches work by a Scottish 19th-century mapmaker, James Gall, and is also known as the Gall-Peters projection. It is an “equal-area” map, distorting the shape of countries as a two-dimensional visualization of a three-dimensional globe but accurately scaling surface areas.
The result goes a long way to rewriting the historical and sociopolitical message of the Mercator map, which exaggerates the size of imperialist powers.
“This is the start of a three-year effort to decolonize the curriculum in our public schools,” said Colin Rose, assistant superintendent of opportunity and achievement gaps for Boston public schools.
The district has 125 schools and 57,000 students, 86% of whom are non-white, with the largest groups being Latino and black. After changing the maps, Rose said, educators plan to look at other subjects and shift away from presenting white history as the dominant perspective.
Her blog is a decent read. She's been dealing with a leaky rudder since pushing off...
and another excerpt,"After my interview, I needed to get on with the repair of my B and G Auto Pilot Hydraulic ram. I started gathering some tools to do the job with. I would need to climb through a very small hatch into the steering compartment and it is a very cramped place. When I opened said hatch though, there was a humongous amount of water... Way more than anyone on a boat would be comfortable with... I knew the reason for the water however it is still unsettling to see that much sloshing around the boat. The steering compartment was almost half way full. When I was refitting the boat in Sydney we needed to replace the rudder bearing however this has since caused a miss-fit with the rudder its self and I have been plagued with a leaky rudder ever since.It has been the bain of my existence at sea."
And this entry, while a great description of sailing a yacht alone through a gale, also has something relevant to this thread,"Last night was by far the coldest of the trip to date... Burr... It was so cold that when I went to bite into a mini mars bar I almost broke my teeth as it was rock solid. The honey is frozen and I managed to give myself brain freeze from drinking the water too quickly out of my water bottle... When I went to go to bed after writing the blog I was so cold that I didn’t think I would be able to get warm even in bed, so I heated up another hot water bottle and added some extra layers. I ended up sleeping in my Antarctica grade sleeping bag wearing my base layer, 2 sets of Marino wool thermals, a fleece vest and a set of the zhik midlayers which is a full body suit and a jacket. It almost makes me feel like I am walking around in a fitted sleeping bag, they are warm though. On top of this I had..."
"I was also being extra careful not to sail past my gybing mark as I could void my record attempt if I sailed [north of] 45 South."
The dividing and conquering is easier on the young... arrgghh...
Don't let others get you down. Not naysayers, not pretenders, not appeasers, not opportunists; none of em.
What others do pales beside what YOU do.
Press on! - The r3VOLution continues...
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

Are there any true flat-earthers? Is it all just a big troll of conspiracy theorists?

My crazy brother's true believer and a lunatic. A lovable one but still...o_O
He also has a water tower, a Mercedes, and an above ground pool in the front yard of his trailer. Oh, and he installed motion sensors so he would know when the neighbor's cats were on his property so he could let out his four huge dogs who live in the trailer with him.
To keep people from discussing real issues, most likely. It's why you pay so much to the tax-man.

Most likely. But you could start pretty much start any wild conspiracy theory and some people would believe it. Russia colluded with, and controls Trump for example.
Case in point.

It's amazing that he won't believe proven facts but has no trouble latching onto what a sketchy guy on youtube pulled out of his ass after reading Discworld.Most likely.

Remember Y2K? Did he think the world was going to end?

Of course. He's still working through the toilet paper stockpile, I imagine. He's a great guy and a lot of fun to laugh at but some of his theories are, well...BTW, Obama is the "leopard", Prince William is the anti-Christ, and I forgot the Pope's role but he's nefarious and has some sort of supernatural powers. Don't ask me to explain the "lepord" because after 8 years of Obama, I still don't get his role in the end of times. My brother is prepared. He plans on riding it out in his trailer - that's why he got the water tower.
That had to be the most widely believed nonsense of the past century. Nostradamus wins troll of the millennium.
And no one would honor any bets that I made that nothing would happen.

I have a feeling they are more like Actors trying to make all "Conspiracy Theorists" look stupid. True Patriots are True Conspiracy Theorists who question everything that comes out of governments and media, and accept those that are truly suited and belong in the world and do their best to call out the nonsense they try to sneak by. By damaging the Reputation of Patriots, people are taught to not question authority because anyone that does must be as dumb as the character conspiracy theorists that opposing actors play part of.
Control the opposition to destroy them from the inside.

It probably happens all the time. You just don't hear about it, because they don't exactly live to tell about it after falling off the edge.
