If the earth was flat cats would have already pushed all the pens off of it.5

If you had to pick a theory, Roland is sane or The Earth is flat, the Flat Earth Theory becomes much more compelling.3

AMA is Ask Me Anything. Essentially it's a limited time online interview where for a certain period of time users of a website, reddit being the main one that does it, can ask the interviewee anything they like and they'll respondStig said:

So you could ask the creators of the documentary anything you like about the crazies they filmed- or you can now go on and read the responses to the questions that were asked1 -
Heard the other day there’s a genuine flat earther at my work. His team bought him a globe to put on his desk.
Someone else apparently believes a lot of conspiracies, including planes releasing “chemtrails”, presumably for mind control by the government or something similar.

These people are quite simply cotrarians who have a level of cynicism that is unbelievably unhealthy.
If the prevailing wisdom was that the world was flat, they would tell you it was round.
Some people just disbelieve the majority and believe the minority, no matter how implausible.2 -
I watched the Netflix Flat Earthers doc, some of it comedy gold. Like the bit they are trying to measure the earths “flatness” with a laser that wouldn’t be out of place in a pound shop. Or another one of their experiments where the were trying to disprove the earth spins at a rate of 15 degrees per hour, only to actually prove it does.

There is nothing wrong with the principle of not taking everything you are told at face value. However, you need to back that up with a detailed look at the evidence, assess both sides of the picture then male a decision. And apply the same level of rigour to some spotty teenagers blog online as you apparently do to peer reviewed scientific journals.Huskaris said:These people are quite simply cotrarians who have a level of cynicism that is unbelievably unhealthy.

Does that apply to map makers?😉CharltonDave85 said:Anyone that thinks it is flat is a first class wanker fact ⚓1 -
I recall a teacher once telling us that a circle is actually a series of joined up straight lines we perceive as dots. On that basis the earth is a series of joined up straight bits and you are always standing on a flat dot of earth. It does mean however that you have to be careful to avoid the cracks where they join.1

If you continuosly walked south you wouldn't get back to your original location.Huskaris said:Can anyone tell me what their answer is to the following, and I know obviously this doesn't mean you believe it, I am just wondering what their explanation is:
1) the fact that if you went continuously East/West/North/South you would end back at your original location.
2) All of the pictures of the Earth taken from space
Just interested, although like many things where we get so worked up about people having opinions different to our own, it doesn't really matter.
You'd either stop at the south pole or start heading north.1 -

A bit like the old school riddle: You have a house where every wall faces south. A big bear wanders by outside. What colour is the bear?jimmymelrose said:

White, because if every side of the house faces south it can only be at the North Pole. Therefore it must be a polar bear.1

It depends on the definition of the proximity of 'outside' as every type of bear could potentially be in scope.3

Amused me that when I looked at CL this thread was next to the mental illness thread. No disrespect meant to those who suffer from genuine mental illness, of course.0

How have I only just seen this thread? It's an absolute belter!!

Maybe it was a grizzly bear that followed the ice wall all the way round.3

If the polar bear had a nosebleed then it would have Charlton colours.0
