No. When someone goes into outer space NASA actually rolls out a giant painting of "round" Earth. There are no limits to the craziness these people will go through to hide the truth.

We need to understand that flat earthers don't lack the knowledge or experience to accept the evidence that can be made objective, but that they refuse a worldview that is not made by them.

What I thought I'd do was, I'd pretend to be one of those deaf-mutes.

Hey, back in the 90s, I went to an theme park and they had those IMAX screen with moving chairs and you felt like you were getting chased by the shark or the dinosaurs. So imagine what they can do now when they stuff you in a small cabin, they can make you believe ANYTHING! Who's crazy now huh? ::: spoiler Tap for spoiler /s, obvs :::

no no, you're right, the earth is flat, it's always been flat. it's just flat in a round way which can trick people who dont know how to look properly.

They didn't hack your eyes it was all just special effects.

Science is used to help Describe, Explain, Predict, and Control any phenomena studied. The Describe and Explain part would be the pure science, and the Predict and Control parts are the applied science part. Instead of letting a Flat Earther moo on and on about the Describe and Explain part, force them to show devices, procedures or processes that have been created out of Flat Earther Descriptions and Explanations of reality. If their observations are accurate, they should be able to demonstrate or generate something useful from their special knowledge. It should be something that simply cannot be generated using conventional Round Earth Descriptions or Explanations. Tl;dr: Flat Earthers are unable to demonstrate practical application of their special knowledge that improves any process. If they don't produce, the discussion is over.

I do get a good laugh when every once in a while a flat earther comes up with a newer and more convoluted way of proving that the earth is in fact round. Then there's the bonus round where they do the Olympic level mental gymnastics to explain why their own results don't prove anything.

I know this is a joke, but there was that group who was taken for a free trip to antarctica. We must stop rewarding flat earthers and anti science! Just ignore them, don't try to prove anything to them, show them they're not worth even getting close to

only flat earthers can think that we have reached technology 2 just to fool them

I remember once while debating religion, Sam Harris making a point about how, when sharing certain beliefs, people pay an immediate price when they talk about them. [The one in particular is that Elvis is still alive.](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_UUwPHuy76U) He wasn't specifically talking about conspiracy theories, but it made me think about them, nonetheless. If I did my math right, were Elvis still alive, he'd be 91 years old today. So, it's far, far more likely that Elvis is alive than it is that the Earth is flat. Flat earthers do pay that sort of price, but I don't think we ridicule them enough, compared to how much more ridiculous their views are than the people who think Elvis is still alive.

It gave me a long term phobia of explosive decompression that fucked with me for decades after. I honestly can't comprehend what the fuck the showrunners were thinking when they decided to portray a child taking off their helmet in the vacuum of space

It's a description about how so many people think about so many things. Flat earth is just an obviously silly one that we can mock people for. The reality is that so many people simply refuse to accept new information that contradicts their previously held views. To the point where it has contributed to societal breakdown.

@TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 2026-05-12 17:46
It's quite literally a joke about the Antarctica trip. There *was* one who changed their mind and was heavily ostracized for it.

@MushuChupacabra@piefed.world 2026-05-12 21:22
I'm more interested in the put up or shut up, and less interested in the alleged internal struggle that prevents them from doing so. Produce.

Considering how few people got to space, you don't need to be a conspiracy theorist to think that you're not one of the lucky ones

One aspect of flat earth is to put earth back to the center of the universe. Other planets are just dots in the sky, we are the real thing

Probably that they're flat discs as well

they got vaccines and became gay and round and autistic. back before we were shooting vaccines into them with our gay vaccine rockets they were totally flat and straight.

All other things in the whole universe are round. Only Earth is flat, obviously.

@ceenote@lemmy.world 2026-05-12 17:41
It reads like a joke but it's just a straight description of how flat earthers think.

@Francislewwis@lemmy.world 2026-05-13 20:42
“NASA hacked my eyes” is honestly peak commitment to the bit. No amount of evidence can defeat advanced denial technology. 😂

What's the explanation for the shape of the Moon, Sun, all other planets, etc... in the flat earth mindset?

@Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 2026-05-12 23:04
Occam's razor insists that you were de- and then re-programmed to **think** that you were in space viewing the Earth, when, in fact, you were in a black room hooked up to an IV with a lurching goon whispering into your ear. You never left the Denver airport. IT'S MORE LIKELY THAN NOT. It happens every day.
