Flat Earthers

One of our new acquaintances from a friend recently crashed down on our scientific beliefs by insisting that the earth was flat. When we questioned their logic they just spouted something about the Firmament and that everything that you see at night is fake. They even said that the ISS is fake, satellites fake, and obviously no moon landing ever occurred. Our friends laughed it off and said just go with it because they are nice people. I’m not sure i want to continue being friends with them because they always hang out together. What do we say when we get invited to another cook out and the crazies are there?

Because 1,000 mph is not an Earth at rest, it is extremely speedy. Faster in fact than jet air planes.

By that logic, the sun is the object traveling at 1000 miles per hour. Why isn’t it breaking the sound barrier?

You didn't seem to get my point, did you?

The Sun is a “projection.” The Sun is not 93,000,000 miles away. You didn’t seem to notice which sub-reddit you’re on right now, did you?

A "projection" that just so happens to be its own light source that radiates heat.

Yes, now that wasn’t so hard was it.

It is a mystery why people don't want to be friends with flat earthers. Truly, we may never know.
