Why go to Antarctica if the ice wall is all around us? I ask rhetorically.

"Because it's there."

 

[infinitys_7th]

I don’t get why we continue to give flat earthers attention. They’re just like any other conspiracy theorists - nothing you say will change their beliefs, so let them be nuts like the people who believe in things like Bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, Area 51, and the faked moon landing.

None of those things conflict with the basis of reality like the flat Earth does. They think gravity is the result of the flat Earth accelerating upwards constantly.

 

[Geki-D]

They'll never actually go. They'll keep saying they're going to go but it'll never be anything but talk.

 

[Liamario]

"Because it's there."

And not because they're guaranteed to find a wall of ice...

After several weeks of traveling they reach a giant screen with this :

Part of me wants the earth to be flat. People talk about how funny it would be when FE'ers find out that the earth is a sphere(ish). I honestly think such a conspiracy being true would be even funnier. Though any potential meltdown by the world at large wouldn't be funny.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

They accept everything they are told by authority and laugh at anyone who dares to question it.

Who is the authority behind Flat Earth?

 

[Meowzers]

Or their trip will end when they end up with a 'flat' tyre.

 

[Mihos]

The earth is an inverted sphere and what you see as stars, are just cities on the other side.

 

[Rentahamster]

Once they get to Antarctica, they'd probably have to sail around the entire continent before they can see that it's a continent and not a wall. That might take too long and they'd probably give up before then.

Netflix has a great little documentary called Behind the Curve. It's about Flat Earther beliefs and how dedicated they are to them...even despite evidence to the contrary:

You assumed I was talking about flat earthers?

"Earth is like a pizza" - Eddie Bravo, 2k19

 

[Azelover]

I don't understand the attachment to this theory. Is it because of the Bible?

 

[Can't decide]

First post instantly reminded me of this scene.

 

[ALIEN-gunner]

I wonder if when these people watch Dark City they see it as a documentary.

 

[slugbahr]

Why not just take to the air?

 

[IzukuMidoriya]

Logan Paul's going to love Antartica. Leave him there.

Brave martyrs. They will be probably made disappear along the way.
Strange things happens in the sea

Who is the authority behind Flat Earth?

According to the Netflix documentary :

- Crazy conspiracy artist
- Manbaby living with his mom
- Hot fiftysomething woman

Can't remember the names

 

[triplestation]

Bitch there's YouTube footage of a weather balloon taking a GoPro into space. How can you think that's CGI? Your eyes are excellent at detecting genuine things even if your a dumass.

I can’t resist this. I just can’t.

 

[Insane Metal]

What could possibly go wrong?

Edit: triplestation's avatar quote was the easiest ever, lol

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

First post instantly reminded me of this scene.

One of my favorite movies of all time. It was ahead of its time, imo. Amazing scene

 

[Hissing Sid]

Give my regards to Aslan guys.

Hot fiftysomething woman

Patricia Steere.

Edit: I wish we could width-restrict large images.

[LOOK HERE] Crazy Flat-earthers
[DO NOT LOOK HERE] Truth.

Enough bad apples makes the whole batch seem inedible. Do you really think the main perpetrators of the flat-earth movement believe the Earth is flat?

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

I wish them well, but I believe they are in for a rude awakening...

Spoilers

 

[mcz117chief]

I still believe these people are just trolling and don't actually believe that Earth is flat. There is no reason to believe something so outlandish.

Most of the "followers" of these groups tend to be people with mental illnesses that are being taken advantage of.

The "leaders" are 100% faking it, and are just exploiting people for money.

That makes sense too.

 

[dionysus]

They will use globe earth math to navigate the flat earth.

The cognitive dissonance is strong.

So it's a religion, then?

 

[Husky]

Get them a documentary crew!

 

[ThatStupidLion]

i would really like for the ship to disappear. itd really add to the conspiracy.

 

[AgentP]

I don't understand the attachment to this theory. Is it because of the Bible?

Yes, it is anti-intellectual Christians pushing this garbage, with a splash of conspiracy theory nuts.

 

[No Word Count]

Religion / cult / scam.

Potato potahto.

Whatever terms you consider apt.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I am planning a trip to walk to Australia to stalk Cunth in real life.

Wish me luck.

Omg, I need to see this as soon as I get home from work today!

 

[mckmas8808]

So did this ever happen?

 

[Kenpachii]

Not that hard to find a ice wall, probably there cult leader will pin point the exact location then say yea there it is. And move out because its to dangerious to get close.

Honestly they will just make new theory's and new idea's the moment they see something they don't like.

 

[JimiNutz]

I hope someone spikes their brownies with a heroic dose of edible weed.
Only then can they truly find 'the end of the world'. I live life on the edge daily. Fucking pussies.

[Weilthain]

Earth is not a ball floating in space deal with it.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

I mean they will freeze to death if anything.

 

[NickFire]

So did this ever happen?

Your thread bump had me excited for an update. Life goes on, but I really hope a reporter with nothing better to do stays on this story. I bet they make excuses and want to laugh at the absurdity of it.

Spoiler

Actually I want to know where the world ends. Never bungie jumped before and it seems like a cool spot to try it out

 

[royox]

Has there ever been an effort to travel a complete circle around the earth longitudinally?

These guys are dumb but the idea is at least a little interesting.

Columbus. He found America by accident doing it lol.

 

[macfoshizzle]

Do do they not believe in math?

The Greek figured this out 2000 years ago.. You can figure out exact circumference of the earth.. I mean they must know this, do they not??
