  1. Does the #bible state that the world is flat?

    ... or was a line just taken out of context?

  2. In a previous #physics post I discussed how to measure the radius of the Earth using LEGO - well, I finally have data and measured the Earth for myself. #flatearthers can repeat if they want. #astronomy

  3. @planetaryecologist Neanderthals invented fire that cast shadows of their hands on cave walls, like the Sun casts shadows of Earth on the Moon. Common sense told them that they lived on an orb.

    Eons later, Ancient Greek mathematicians accurately calculated the radius of the Earth, also using shadows.

    But here we are in the #Digital era, when millions of #Americans such as #NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal are #FlatEarthers. newsweek.com/shaquille-oneal-e

  4. #ScienceFiction fans are weird. I should know: I've been part of organized #fandom since I was too small to see over the tables in the huckster room, as we called it in the days when we printed fanzines on mammoth vellum.

    #FlatEarthers are weird. Not fun weird like fen (something something dodged sabertooths uphill both ways). Just boring, depressing, will-you-please-go-away weird. Which to be fair, is the reaction some people have toward fandom, but usually when we encounter those people we let them be.

    Flat-earthers who are also SF fans? That strikes me as a deep wrongness in the universe.

  5. Public service announcement: When countering flat-earther nonsense, it's better to say the Earth is a globe, not just round. You can have a round disc too, which the Earth is not. You're welcome.

  6. @TheBulwark @the-bulwark-online-TheBulwark #TrumpDerangementSyndrome is a slippery slope. Eventually they will become #FlatEarthers. Voters in #Wisconsin need to think about what their votes for Ron Johnson say about *them*!

  7. @cairobraga

    these are deeply unserious people who live vicariously in #parasocial relationships with #celebrities and only know #popCulture posing

    such dim, shallow people (or alternatively and innocently: children, but that's even worse in terms of them being targeted by this shit) can be worked over for the #indoctrination pipeline into #farRight #hate

    it's like targeting #antivaxxers or #flatEarthers:

    "ah, a complete moron, they can be made into a zombie #MAGA voter via #socialMedia"

  8. My 2 year old recently said, "Anger and sadness exist. Elevators do not exist." Yes, those were his words, verbatim.

    I wonder whether he saw an advertisement about a streaming channel for #flatearthers, #Republicans, or other similar idiots.

    When we took him shopping sometime later, he saw that elevators do exist, much to his delight.

  9. 🥳🚨 Breaking news: Mathematicians have apparently been akin to flat-earthers for 2300 years, operating under *gasp* flawed assumptions! 🙄 David Bessis is here to unravel the mysteries of numbers, because naturally, everyone was confused but just too polite to mention it. 🤷‍♂️
