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.'

9 x 8" = 72"/6'
You should not be able to see a 6' person at all on a
flat surface at a distance of 3 miles away from you.
Lollipops (mile markers) on the roadways are great for single person observations.
Measure one, drive 3 miles away from it and pull out the binoculars.
Do you still see it all? Flat Earth.
I prefer jimmy Carterโs killer rabbit

The more you post, the more you show yourself to be a drunk old angry dementia patient.
I know .. I am .. one man.. in one place.. at one time , unlike some of the folks around here I have little regard for experts and theories.
I have seen to many proven to be false teachers...
Science .. so called ... always says .. ya but this time we are really right.
Time will tell.
When I look around me with my eyes, I see a small part of a big picture, I hear other mens explanations for what I see.
Grand and flowery thesis, postulations and pronouncements.
... And yet questions remain...
Why does the sun look the same size as the moon?
Why do the earliest globes , made before any high altitude flight look amazingly like the modern globe ... after space flight?
Interesting pondering , but a sideline to real concerns.
If it were really an issue, I suppose my master would have mentioned it more.
We live in a world of deception. Ruled by the great deceiver.
There is only one truth we can really know and it comes by faith.
Gird your loins, put on the whole armor .... it's about to get real.
Because you have a spine, dear.
my eyes! on slot - onslaught
” refusing to discuss it in a rational manner, “
ya ... that’s the thing ....
Because they are the same size.
Why do the earliest globes , made before any high altitude flight
look amazingly like the modern globe ... after space flight?
If you're pulling a con why stop a good thing that's working?
If it were really an issue, I suppose my master would have mentioned it more.
Maybe you just didn't recognize it. New wine, new eyes, as it were.
Do you have access to a welding hood?
With about a #14 lens? You need a dark one. #12 minimum.
Cringe. Dude, you got a disease.
Hood - clear lens (chipping/grinding, no sparks/slag in eyes)
flip section - tinted lens
Grease pencil
The next time the sun and moon (full or close to it) are in the sky at the same time
turn to the moon and draw and circle on the clear lens around the moon while looking at it with the hood on.
Flip the tnted lens down and look at the sun.
The grease pencil mark should still be there.
Yep. I'm allergic to BS.
