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.'

Because the earth tilts, and almost most of the population is in the northern hemisphere. Really any time China India and Japan are in sunlight there’s half the population right there not even counting all the other countries that will be in sunlight at the same time. High summer in the northern hemisphere and there you. It’s still only half the planet in sunlight, it just happens to be the “good half”, or at least populated.
Really you can see it for yourself it’s not that tough. This is part of how we know all flat earthers are complete morons. You can disprove all your flat earth nonsense with a $14 globe and a $1 penlight.
The question suggests that a CME is caused by light. It’s not. The light of a CME takes minutes to reach earth—that is, we can “see it” because light travels at the speed of light (duh.)
The particles that actually cause the CME are traveling towards the earth at the rate they are ejected from the sun. Those things take 3-4 days to reach out into our orbit.
Nobody really believes in the flat earth idea. Those that pretend to are usually “taking the piss” as the British say. Just being intentionally obtuse for fun. The sad ones are the ones who argue with them because they need to feel smarter than somebody.
The guy in the video shows it can't be done.
Show me how it can be done on a globe
Don't tell me it can be done.
I didn’t think his question suggested light was the cause, but at least you two are having rational discussion about our solar system, and not about flying space turtles...
By the time you move that pen light to an equivalent distance to the sun
your pen light would be so diffused you would be in near darkness.
And yet, here we all are discussing that very thing.
Amazing!
Your statement makes no sense. Both top and bottom of the power line are in the picture.
HE LIED.

Really, SHOW YOURSELF. All you need to do is not be a complete pathetic useless moron for 5 minutes. And you too can find the spot where the sun goes and BOOM. Or really the picture the story, center top of Africa.
Because what we understand about your kind of moron is no matter what I show you you won’t believe. Because you’ve chosen to be the stupidest person in any room you’re in.
Well, of course the turtle isn’t flying. He is just, sort of, there. And we are resting on his shell.
Gawd….everyone knows that.
LOL
I'm not talking about flying space turtles either.
You got a thing for trunks?
No we’re not discussing. You’re stomping your foot like an angry 4 year old, and we’re mocking you for being a dumb ass.
🤣 Well good for him, I was worried his poor flippers would tucker out.
A small, localized sun.
“Laughing at people who ‘act’ in every way retarded can be entertaining for a while.”
True .
Maybe worth trying to educate folks with wacko views; but that’s likely a waste of time
It doesn’t have to be an equivalent distance. Just far enough away to hit 50% of the globe.
And you can also use it parallel to the surface to disprove prove every dumb ass thing you’ve said about horizon lines.
Really $15 and 1 hour will show you that all flat earthers are wrong.
It’s not to scale.
And I'm mocking you for being ignorant, blind fools who, when shown the glory of YHVH, deny it and Him.
And as far as foot stomping...I got stomped first and I stomp back!
