    I draw the line when it comes to people who still genuinely believe with every ounce of their heart and soul that the Earth is flat.............. "Flat-Earthers". What in the actual f**k like. How? In this day and age..... how?? I cannot decide whether it's an overwhelming level of stupidity, ignorance or something completely beyond all known levels of logic and reason!

    "Hey, you see that tennis ball? Squeeze it ever so slightly from the top. Yeah, that's the shape of the Earth. Not a perfect sphere, but a slightly fat one from the centre. What? No the Earth's not flat don't be silly. What? No, I just told you the Earth is not flat. Why?? What do you mean why???? It's just not flat!! I.... You're not serious....... WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU????"

    ..... Seriously though, just how can anyone be that goddamn....... whatever it is cos I just don't have the words. I really don't.

    What is the shortest distance between two points?

    A straight line? On a flat surface.

    Or is it actually an affine geodesic? Some bollix called Einstein wrote a lot of shite about it

    You see, the flat earthers are 2-dimensional bugs living on a sphere. They don't know about up and down. They are going in a straight line from A-to-B . That's their shortest route between two points. You're looking down on them and see them going around the curve of the sphere. But to them it is mathematically a straight line. Because of physics and because they are spasticated. Not offence meant to any actual certified spastics


    Take that nerds
