Makes sense.
It’s a hoax.
I live in the hometown of Alden Knowlan, the Canadian poet who started the Flat Earth Society as a big joke for himself and his drinking buddies. He’s somewhere in the afterlife now, either laughing his butt off or crying his eyes out, maybe both.
The Earth can’t be flat. If it were cats would have pushed everything over the edge long ago.

Actually yes; yes I do. But I haven’t determined if it's his really twisted joke or if he just wants to see how far you’re willing to buy into some of his stuff.
I know a young person who was taken by all the hype on this and briefly flirted with the idea.
I asked them how come if the earth is flat you sail in one direction you’ll eventually end up back where you started?
“uh...uh.....I guess you’re right...uh...”
If it were flat, all those objects flying off the equator into space from the centripetal forces wouldn’t be such a problem. /s
The Earth is flat !!!!!!!!

Same as Scientology.
Stared on a bet that there was NO religion so crazy people would not believe it.

He is a great man of science.
Ask him next, that if a woman weighs more than a duck, if she’s a witch? After all, witches are made of wood.
And wood floats, and very small rocks and ... a DUCK!
Year before last, I flew from New Jersey to Malaysia. The entire flight, the horizon appeared as a curve. Now, I understand that does not in itself prove a round Earth; this does: the curvature remained the same the entire trip!
You see, if the planet is a pancake, from the air it would look round, oval or straight depending on the angle you’re seeing it from whether straight down, oblique or on edge respectively but since the shape of the horizon didn’t change it has to be spherical because only a sphere maintains a constant curvature regardless of what angle you view it from.
That worked for Al gore JR
LOL!
...or so the Germans would have us believe.
I wonder how they make sense of orbiting satellites.
Rockets go up, satellites are ejected, they continue to orbit the Earth due to centrifugal force.
How do they explain the space station remaining in orbit?
Do they believe we enter space at all?
Maybe they think these things are all hoaxes.
What’s their answer for the curved shadow that shows up on the Moon, when there’s a lunar eclipse?
What would be the explanation for other planets being round, and ours being the only flat one?
Have they noticed the Sun and the Moon are round?
How do they explain the curvature of the Earth on the horizon when you’re in an aircraft at high altitude?
How do they explain aircraft circumnavigating the Earth, leaving a point going east or west, and yet still winding up where they started using a straight line route?
If you can get star trail pictures from different points on the Earth then the only explanation of what is being seen is that the photos are taken from a globular Earth.
It's a little convoluted, but convincing if you draw a circle, put two dots on it and think how would we see the circular paths we see from different points on the Earth if it were flat.
Well, if parallel lines can intersect when extended to infinite why could not the Earth be flat? After all isn’t a circle simply an infinite number of intersecting planes which of course are flat.
Besides that whole scientific fact thing is just thinking white in order to oppress the monrity class.
The world MUST be flat. Otherwise, ONLY cats would still be hanging on...
