The Flat Earther next door: These are the US states with highest share of conspiracy theorists, based on residents' internet search history... so do YOU live in a flat or round state? Alaskans were the most interested in 'Flat Earth' theories, Google searches show New Jersey natives entertained 'Flat Earth' claims least, per same search data
Earth's greatest minds have known our world is round since at least as far back as the day Pythagoras made his calculations in ancient Greece over 2,000 years ago.
But as you might have guessed from fighting with relatives and old friends on Facebook, as many as 10 percent of Americans still believe the earth is flat, according to survey data compiled in 2021.
If you're looking for a place offline to get away from conversations about 'Flat Earth' conspiracy theories (or maybe where to go to join your fellow true believers), a new analysis of Google searches across all 50 US states might help.
Die-hard 'Flat Earthers' may want to bundle up before relocating to Alaska, whose residents searched the most for information on the widely discredited theory.
And those looking to move on from the 'Flat Earth' debate entirely may want to find space in the densely populated state of New Jersey, which had the lowest interest in researching the topic online per 10,000 residents.
Find out below if you live in a 'Flat State' or a 'Round State.'

Explain to me how we can see further than mathematical calculations show we should.
Come...backs...you would know.
I’ve never done that. It sounds like fun. Maybe the next time I’m in a waiting room or at a flight boarding gate with some time, I’ll try that.
Retort is a much better word.
My view—as I have stated in the thread—is that the flat earth Internet debate has been greatly supported and enhanced by the Deep State.
While flat earth theory goes back to the earliest days of man it has only been since the Internet got cranked up that it gained significantly in notoriety.
It is a case of a Deep State “nudge” to cause dissension within the ranks of government critics:

Its purpose is to cause heat and not light.
This thread is exactly what the Cabal wants.
That is far more important than debating flat earth talking points—of either side.
Retard applies in your case, but now you just bore me.

Aw...if you were a dog you would never be bored.

“I see you’ve not viewed the videos on the thread or
you wouldn’t be making such a patently, obviously absurd statement. “
Maybe instead of watching conspiracy videos, you should get out in the real world and observe with your own eyes.
I hope you can get some help. These conspiracy theories can lead people to dark places.
Please talk to friends and family.
I have. I've got a highway I drive all the time that proves reality to me.
I hope you can get some help.
You poor thing. You just can't handle exposure to reality and truth.
The indoctrination is strong in you.
The horizon rises to eye level.
Wow, I never thought I would be posting on “the earth is flat”thread on FR!
This world has gotten very strange.
“The horizon rises to eye level. “
As I said earlier. Get binoculars. Go to ocean or Great Lake. Observe. Don’t watch it on a video, use your own eyes. Basic stuff we have known as humans for hundreds of years.
Its really true, you will see it.
You are being played by cranks making fake videos.
Isn't that the truth!
It is the government and the scientific community that caused this problem.
They totally destroyed their credibility on a wide range of issues—and then they wonder why nobody believes them even if/when they do tell the truth.
They own this mess.

Maybe you should get out more instead of watching conspiracy videos and observe the real world again with your own eyes.
I have. All you need is three miles of flat road and a pair of binoculars and two people 6 feet tall.
Stop telling me what to do.
Can you tell me how we can see further than mathematical calculations show we should be able.
“All you need is three miles of flat road and a pair of binoculars and two people 6 feet tall.”
No.
You need further than that .
Only large bodies of water can do it.
Seriously, talk to friends or family. You don’t want to go off on a crazy rabbit hole.
You shouldn't be expected to know about the world,
you don't even know your own body and its abilities.
Do you think those buildings are smaller in size simply because they're further away?
