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...”
The Earth is flat !!!!!!!!

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?
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.
I suppose this will eventually be traced back to 4chan or Reddit, where the trolls love to rickroll you.
You never heard of anyone falling off a beach.

We left LAX and went off the edge of the earth. Look out the window, nothing but dark. A few hours later, we came back over the other edge, and out the window we saw Japan.
So yeah, the earth is flat.
Pfft! Flat Earth: Who Cares???
This data has been suppressed for YEARS and yet; the Government just REFUSES to allow the data reach the real people it affects so badly!!

Once, when I was outdoors, a man approached my place in Colorado to ask about how to get to a particular gentle slope on the side of a peak. He said that he and his academic team were going to look for Bigfoot.
I’d already had a guess as to why people like him were pretending to look for Bigfoot and making false documentaries and interviewed him accordingly. He not only admitted excitedly that the effort was to oppose traditional beliefs and promote Atheism, but he started preaching about it.
Before he left, I told him to be aware, and that he might even hear loud woofing noises from above him and his party on the slope. I said that bears sometimes make that noise around dusk as a warning to approaching people (true—sounds almost like humans playing a prank). There were a few bears in the area he asked about. He asked more questions about the bears and talked about changing his friends’ plans for camping overnight up there.
Notice that the main pusher of the effort is a software analyst: a glorified software user.

The “Flat Earth theory” myth refuted: De mensura Orbis terrae
People pay good money to go to the Grand Canyon and see a mile deep hole. Just imagine how much they would pay to peer (or pee) over the edge of the earth into infinite space.
There are some people here on FR who believe this crap.
No one believes it. But some people enjoy a good argument, and making their friends shake their heads.
