Latest 'Flat Earth' theory says Australia is FAKE - and if you think you've been there, you're wrong
The Daily Mirror ^ | Jeff Parsons

There's a growing number of people who seem to think the world is, in fact, flat.

But it gets better. They also insist that Australia is actually just one big hoax.

According to a viral Facebook rant, the entire country (and presumably the 24 million people that live there) is completely FAKE.

The idea resurfaced at a recent gathering of so-called Flat Earthers in Birmingham recently where over 200 people came together to confirm to each other that the Earth is nothing more than a giant pancake.

The origin of the "fake Australia" post started on Reddit back in 2017 and was written by a Shelley Floryd. But it appears to be back in the minds of the spherically-challenged at the moment.

"Australia is not real," the rant begins.

"It's a hoax, made for us to believe that Britain moved over their criminals to someplace. In reality, all these criminals were loaded off the ships into the waters, drowning before they could see land ever again.

"It's a coverup [sic] for one of the greatest mass murders in history."

Moreover, the post reckons that all Australians are nothing more than computer generated personas and if you've ever been Down Under yourself: "you're terribly wrong".

Hilariously, the pilots are apparently all in on it - and have just been flying you to parts of South America all these years.

Flat Earth theories have been shot down by just about everyone capable of rational thought, but the theory is still enjoying a current resurgence.

Over 200 conspiracy theorists gathered at a hotel in Birmingham for the UK’s first Flat Earth Convention.

The convention, which took place over three days, saw nine speakers take to the stage to explain their theory as to why the Earth is flat.

Okay...I've looked. Supermoon 2016
Why are you changing from the sun to the moon?

Here is one for you...Sunset Moonset Milky Way Holy Grail Time Lapse Day To Night

Pay close attention to the encroaching darkness and then the small light on the left side of the screen...

Is that the moon getting bigger and then smaller?!!

It must be fake too, eh?

How about a harvest moon?

The moon getting larger as it gets closer? Can't be, right? Must be fake, right?

I’ve proposed an objective experiment. Do you agree with the methodology or not? If not, how would you go about proving/disproving it in a way that is acceptable to both of us?

You can run off and do all the experimenting you want.
I already have my proof.

Then, if you cannot agree to a simple experiment to validate one theory or another, then this conversation is over.

It took you four days to respond and when you do it's with a childish playground taunt?
(basically, I know you are, but what am I?)
That's pretty pathetic.
