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.

I have one question for you: do you believe the Earth is sphere-like object, or do you believe it is flat?
Spent 4 days liberty in Perth, Australia . Always wondered where that accent came from. Now I know, South Africa.
And Hell is eternally listening to ACDC at volume 99.
Having been to Australia I can say unequivocally that it does indeed exist.
Olivia was born in the UK and only grew up in Australia so that solves that problem. I on the other hand was born in Australia but grew up in Canada so all my posts are fake posts. Fortunately the mods havent noticed me yet. :)
I disagree! Reunite Rodinia!
It’s easier to spell...
...and alliterative!
Gen. 10:25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
Remember how long they lived?
Today? I learned about that bit of BS trickery about 2 years ago.
Don't be shy, Phil. Tell the folks all about the spheroid earth lie we've been indoctrinated to believe, our whole lives.
I’m in trouble then, because I just paid a ton of money to fly there this Winter.
I remember "SEX" in that famous Farrah Fawcett poster.
First time I've seen "666" written in the clouds by Islam-loving NASA here:

playing dumb for the internet
Like the Democrats who “believe” that Hillary Clinton is NOT corrupt As F***.
I wonder if there are any flat earthers in Australia. Anyway, Australia is an underground continent. That’s why it’s called the land down under. Then again, it’s also called the outback, so maybe that’s where it is. Geography is hard.
Joshua 10:12 On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel:
Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.
13 So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar.
The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.
14 There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a human being. Surely the Lord was fighting for Israel!
Mock God at your own peril.
Is this a new millennial craze?
Mock God at your own peril. You've been informed so I wash my hands of you.
And I suppose vegemit does not exist either ...... So what the heck was that funny tasting stuff ?
