But the moon isn't real .. right?
Edit: Front page! You globeheads are starting to come around. This pleases the illoominarty and freemasons. The flat Earth movement is spinning out of control around the globe!
1stick2stickredstickbluestick
I don't believe in the the moon. I think it's just the backside of the sun.
donsantiago
Pfff the moon is fake. Thats why man never go to the moon.

FAKE NEWS : Earth is center of the universe. Trex Jesus told me
Regdabmaof
Well if the moon was visible in the sky this wouldn't be the earth's shadow, flat or otherwise.
Insomnia297
Whatever, the moon's not even real. It's just the back of the sun.
Xinihps
Everybody knows the earth is round. You know? Like a pancake?
madspinner
I get making fun of flat earthers, but thats not how they believe it works.
illuminate93
But if the earth is flat and nit round, why are the non-globe maps inaccurate?
SunBrolem
Illuminati lies, the globe is a fabrication to brainwash your children
SunBrolem
also antarctica is a wall separating us from 27 other continents that goes all the way around us

Snailboatcaptain
These guys are just trolls right? Like I to think I'm open to people's beliefs but this is hard.
SunBrolem
If it helps, every single one of the people that believe it (that I've met) are hardcore religious fundamentalists with little/no education.

According to a psychiatrist I know most are Narcissists that derive masochistic satisfaction from the perception they're being persecuted.

If there were money to be made in flat earthing, I have no doubt republicans would be pushing it.
idostufftooxo
Correction: that is actually my dick eclipse.
Kongur
Fitting OPs mom.
NoLongerFoamingWolffo
Serious question: Soo... What's on the other side of the flat Earth?
overunderwhelmed
2 elephants and a turtle, apparently.
BangBangLuckyLuke
I asked a flat-earther this once. He just sent me an unrelated Tesla quote and never spoke to me again.
NoLongerFoamingWolffo
That's kinda the answer I'd expect...
BangBangLuckyLuke
I'm genuinely curious: has anyone ever met a flat-earther that wasn't American?
BangBangLuckyLuke
I'll take that downvote as a 'no'.
Naeaes
According to the he Flat Earth Society, Earth never passes between the Moon and the Sun. The shadow on the Moon is simply the dark side.
sheshazelnuts
So it just does a quick twirl occasionally? Partial eclipses are just a coy little peek? The moon is such a tease!
SunBrolem
Except that from start to finish the image of the moon only changes color, it doesnt spin. YOU CAN JUST LOOK AT IT AND SEE IT.
SunBrolem
And how does the surface not move? Because during the whole process the surface does not change in any way except color. Its not spinning.
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
Wheeen athe moon hits your eye... like a big pizzzapie, thatsa buuuulshit....
BangBangLuckyLuke
Tesla quotes, 100 year old disproven experiments, and Youtube videos made by undereducated Americans. The holy trinity of the Flat Earthers.

Lmao the dome... The fake moon... It all makes sense now.
75PercentSith
I'm still not convinced that I'm not the only real person sometimes. I'm mad fucked up psychologically.
therealVexed
well just as it doesn't make sense for earth to be the only flat planet it wouldn't make sense for you to be the only real person. hugs.
GreenFox
No, I'M part of the Truman Show, the rest of you are just actors.
SaffronTeabagPierogi
No no no. The Earth is HOLLOW you idiot!
BangBangLuckyLuke
At least the Hollow Earth Theory had people turning up claiming to have found the entrance to the inner Earth.
BangBangLuckyLuke
Where the hell are the people claiming to have discovered the worlds edge!?!

JiffyDealer
No, that's just the shadow of an astronaut penis.
WalterSobchaksWorldOfPain
That is my favorite part - The Flat Earth Society believes that the rest of the planets in our solar system are round, only Earth is flat
JustSomeGuyOnline
No. As far as I know, they believe that the other planets are just a part of the massive dome that makes up the sky. Like pictures.
fightfightfightlosewinfight
Well, they're in space.
futureman3000
When you use your own ignorance as proof of what is and isn't possible you can claim whatever you want. The ocean is only 100 ft deep.
ImScruffyImTheJanitor
Some flat earthers think the sky is just a dome around the earth projecting fake stars and what not.
Seibmoz
So they're fake... Compared to what? What is our idea of a real galaxy?
MrCheezypoofs
Like The Truman Show?
dnebdal
Basically, yeah. The sun is like a spotlight circling around above.
Arvandor
And that the moon generates its own light, and is also a flat disc. Not sure how they account for the eclipse though.
ImScruffyImTheJanitor
My guess is they assume the projection is artificial (as in God is controlling it) and so he just controls the phases including eclipses.
relsky
Wait, really? Is this really a thing?
sleepyimgurian
such a thing right now - google it. Kinda scary from an intellectual standpoint.
dnebdal
Yuuup. For some reason, there are genuine flat-earthers, using arguments that people disproved in the bloody bronze age.
TwatSprinkle
Because they're fucking retarded.
Monkofthepast
In truth, it is much weirder. The flat earth stands on the backs of four gigantic elephants that ride on the back of a turtle.
Sitraka
wat ?
Sitraka
it's...a ...kind of strange and close to stupid but...why do they think earth is flat ?
Ravenuser
They also think other planets and stars are REALLY REALLY REALLY much smaller than they are.
BangBangLuckyLuke
I've met Flat-Earthers that claim the Flat Earth Society is secretly run by NASA in order to make their beliefs look stupid.
imnotmattdamon
Jesus!
MildlyShockedSirPatrickStewart
How do they think that is physically possible? Everything else is a sphere but we're flat? What kind of fucking sense does that make?
OzmaAsimov
ThatsMySecretCapImAlwaysHorny
Why not flat disks facing towards us?
MonsterKittens
I've actually watched videos on this (they're fucking stupid), so here's the short version. Many flat earthers are also geocentrists 1/
MonsterKittens
and believe that the sun, moon, and planets are all smaller than the flat disc they believe the earth is and they move around the sky. 2/2
wlfman
probably if god made it that way? I don't know anything about their "doctrine"
ironwolf6896
None, because they're idiots.
malfunctionm1ke
FES was never meant to make sense, it was a joke. Idiots picked it up and now it is a society.
irpilot
Illoominarty and Freemasons. The catch all.
SunBrolem
I have yet to have a flat earther adequately explain the movements and positions of the stars to me. The bewildering part of this is that>>>
SunBrolem
>>>even after being presented with this evidence they cannot explain, they continue to be flat earthers.
JustSomeGuyOnline
Even though I do not believe in it, simply pointing out the stupidest individuals and theories of the group does not disprove the whole.
WalterSobchaksWorldOfPain
It is on their website. This isn't a belief of some weirdo faction in the Flat Earth Society.
overunderwhelmed
The burden of proof does not rest upon those of us who aren't championing batshit theories like a flat earth.
JustSomeGuyOnline
It's not really fair.
TeamRobot
Nobody really believes this surely. Do they?
WalterSobchaksWorldOfPain
Yes, go to their website and read the FAQ's.
HiddenSanity
Dude, kids get thrown out of their homes for being lefthanded still, in north america.

Every SpaceX video gets thousands of comments about space not being real. Maybe there are just 10,000 people trolling us, but I doubt it.
Flyndaran
People believe in magic, gods, resurrections, luck, prayer, etc. We are a very superstitious dumb species.
in2i2on
The real question is, How many are trolls?
ONISpook
I had an in depth conversation with one here on imgur. They do and are among us! Flee to the hills! Nowhere is safe!
Icomeheretoprocrastinate
The flat hills
Skittleballs
Those fucking dimwits
DownvotesAreFun
What hills? Earth is flat!
ONISpook
Them flat hills...hahaha. It was an experience to be sure.
mookiedoi360
Omg you spoke to one? Are you ok?
ONISpook
I couldn't sleep that night, haha. I was like "Wow, how can they believe that?!" I am a geologist so such a thing is near heretical for me.
MetaSomma
Then why bother fleeing? Stand up and fight!
ONISpook
VampireBill
No...no...it's flat the other way.
tomlate
My first thought ????
TheIndianVirgin
Well since the earth is on a tilted axis it would be an oval rather than a circular shadow.
PwnageHobo
Looking at the shadows cast on an oblate spheroid, how can you differentiate between those cast by an oblate spheroid, and those of a sphere
MetaSomma
Because math. Unless by oblate spheroid you mean disc
ticktockbent
so up and down?
youcantproveit
Yes, like a coin. We don't know that the moon isn't flat too, because we haven't been there.
ticktockbent
Wouldn't a coin be spinning in space because we get hit by meteors sometimes?
MetaSomma
If you believe the earth is flat, you can throw out the rest of astronomy and physics
zenoshogun
Like this?
IAmTheBadW01f
But what about when the moon goes down? Then it sees the earth edge on
SkillCheckStudios
I really hope these people think it's flat purely because by the power of free will they can and just want to upset people...

You should document his progression. Is it really progress though?
OutdoorHuman
I kind of want to meat an actual flat-earther...because I don't understand them at all.
1studlyman
I found one... Here on imgur. Want his/her sn?
OutdoorHuman
Not really, because I don't want to ambush someone who didn't ask to be involved. But thanks!
1studlyman
I understand... Hence why I asked. I feel bad for him/her. Although he/she does say in his/her bio that they are happy to debate it.
RussianMathNinja
I'm a mathematician. My experience with cranks has been entirely long distance, and I am thankful for that, because from what others 1/2
RussianMathNinja
have told me, personally dealing with them is NOT fun. 2/2
OutdoorHuman
I imagine not--can't reason with someone who doesn't use the same tools of logic. But it's out of pure fascination!
abacaxi
Also, cranks with long distance give you lots of leverage.
DarkSock
Flat-earthers will exist as long as there are dumb people who need something to feel clever & wise about; ditto Breitbart & info wars
