Do flat-earth believers thing that only the earth is flat, or do they also assert that the moon and other planets are flat as well?

They are cute, leave them alone and they will sail across the ocean into the sunset…

and fall off.

Flat earthers seem to believe that all photos taken in space were faked.

No, the moon and other things are round because they look round.

I honestly don’t think anyone actually thinks the earth is flat. It’s just a silly nothing rumor that there are.

@Dutchess_III Don’t think they’re real? Oh they are. Netflix has a documentary about them called “behind the curve” that is worth watching to get an idea of what these people are like.

They’d have to be the damn dumbest people on the planet!

I look into that documentary this evening. Thanks

@Dutchess_III You would be wrong about that too, I don’t think they’re dumb. I think they are just wired differently. When you watch it you will see that these are people who need a community. I feel like most of them are running from something and this is an outlet. There is some obvious ingenuity and creativity with them. Fascinating that they hold on to this belief. Clearly once these people cluster around each other and form that community there is no getting them back. If they are no longer to believe that the earth is flat their little social group will collapse so naturally they fight against the mountain of evidence that says otherwise.

Yes…I suppose it is no stranger than the different things other people believe in, in spite of all the evidence to the contrary. We are good at talking ourselves into things, aren’t we.

OK, I kind of half heartedly listened to much of the “documentary.” I got the distinct impression that it was a gimmick. Some how, some way, someone is making money off of that nonsense. You can give anything a bit of status, and the illusion of truth, by filming it in documentary form, like with the “The Blair Witch Project.”

@Dutchess_III It’s real, has been a thing for a long time. Go chase down their youtube channels.

It’s OK. I have no interest in listening to idiots.

One shows a video of a small spin-stabilized rocket reaching peak altitude, then deploying a de-spin yo-yo. They claimed it hit the glass dome. Another used video from the camera on the geostationary Echostar-11 satellite to argue that the Earth does not move.
