I learned many years ago that the earth is flat on all sides. I know, kinda bizarro, but it was right there in my Superman comic book.

Just a big cube. I never did figure out how you sail a ship over the edge to get to another face of our bizarro world.

The Qur’an says that the earth is flat sitting on the back of a whale swimming in an ocean. It also said the Moon split in two.

Some of the “flat earthers’ are pranksters playing dumb on the internet. Like people who claimed not to know who Paul McCartney was.

“I seen it!”

I listed to a guy that sounded convincing that the earth was flat but his facts were flawed. He showed a picture of a mountain range over 100 miles away that he said should not be seen if the earth was round. What he did not know was mirage. People sometimes see ships in the dessert. Light is bent by the air. Surveyors and know mirage.

Go to the docks and watch ships go out to sea with binoculars. They sink into the horizon till only their masts show not shrink in size till they are too small to see.

Let me guess, he is a Democrat..

I'm all for as many people as possible being Flat Earthers.

When the Eugenic Cleansing begins, they will have also, along with Democrats and Socialists, have seats on the Rocket to Magic Land where all their wishes come true.

There is a Twilight Zone called "To Serve Man". The directions to Magic Land are in the book.

The notion of a medieval European belief in a flat earth is a 19th century hoax by American author Washington Irving which has been kept alive by the Left.

Um...if the earth is flat, and climate change is going to flood the earth, won’t the extra water simply spill over the side?

“Flat” is a social construct. So is “round.” One person’s “truth” is as good as another’s. Who am I to judge?
