Flat earth

I have a friend who is a flat earther, which of course is scientifically false. So i said, I'll buy you a ticket to Australia if you can convince me otherwise. At which point he went on about how the moon landings were all fake!

I was so, we can't be friends anymore, you're crazy.

I'm 90 percent certain that 90 percent of flat earthers are trolling. To any that are serious about it, what's the purpose of the 'conspiracy'? What does anyone possibly have to gain by 'tricking' us into believing in the earth is round? Are globe manufacturers worried about not making money anymore?

@SarahAndSamantha that’s easy they want us to exercise more like a mouse on a wheel, if the earth is round then we can keep running around in circles . 😂

@SarahAndSamantha You may be right.

If you try to challenge them they retreat behind quoting fellow flat-Earth types, insulting you or using using tricks comparable to those used in what UK law calls "coercive and controlling behaviour". (An offence.)

Perhaps being aggressive shows they are frightened of being seen as plain wrong, as they must know they are.
