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 UKs 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.

Makes sense to me. Who would REALLY eat Vegemite?

Yours is the only good evidence Ive seen against the fact of the flat earth
Wow that’s cool. I could watch those little planes all day.
I’ve known some “flat earthers”. Most of them use the term tongue-in-cheek and they don’t go to meetings.
I thought NASA stopped the live feeds (that were disputably not live) back in 2016?
If NASA is lying and faking still photos, even writing “SEX” in the clouds, then why should be believe any of their visuals?
(Don’t pick an argument with me, I’ve just seen the faked ISS videos that show the body harnesses being keyed out of the shots... do your own research.)

Bonus question for the last video: if the big face in the last video is really an astronaut, then please name him.

Don't mind me. I am just feeding the fire.

Well, they may have a point:

That wearing a schoolboy uniform as an adult is a viable path to success.
Still doesn’t explain why climate change/Islam-loving NASA fakes everything...

What I gather from the FE peeps is that they don’t believe the Southern Hemisphere exists... thus they are Flat Earth... and this is the reason for the endless “Airline Routes to Australia Are Faked” videos.
