    Flat earth. At the point we’re at now when it comes to personally accessible technology, anyone still believing it is 100% making a choice to do so, because it makes them feel better about things for some reason.

      If the Earth was flat either

      A. Cats would have knocked everything off it by now, or B. Dudes would be leading tours to the edge, because capitalism.

      The Social Tilemma touched on this. Weird shit would get popular and invode your Facebook feed. I’ve never seen anything real about it, I don’t use Facebook, Instagram or tiktok, have only seen memes making fun of flat earthers.

      Fucking crazy that an idea like Pizza gate took off the way it did, idiots I tell you. Being fed dogshit and eating it up like they’re starving.

      You don’t even need technology. You just need to get out of the city and out of a car and look at some far away mountains on a clear day.

        the dunes at the beach, three layers, water, sand dunes, and trees atop them.

        the sandunes disappear first, then the trees. if it was flat, they would both converge at the sea level with straight lines (with some irregularities because the beach isn’t a straight line).

        and that’s just one way. with zero tech, or even measurements.
