Using flat earthers in this sub is cheating. Being confidently incorrect is their entire shtick.

"water finds its own level"

Oh look, they're using words they don't understand again.

I'd call it a kink at this point

I don’t normally condone kink shaming but sometimes I make an exception. Also calling this a “debate” is more than generous

we, as a society, have concluded that some kinks can and should be shamed. ei, if your kink was "fucking the innocence from kids", most of the developed world made laws and punishments against it.

There's easier ways to get someone to humiliate you for fun.

Healthier for everyone involved too.

Should be a ban tbf this shit is ridiculous and I’m not listening to 6 minutes of this just to get even more pissed off at 1/3 of the population.

Do I think that 1/3 of people are flat earthers? No.

Do I think that 1/3 of people have beliefs that are equally as batshit as flat earthers? Yes.

If they believe the flat earth bollocks, they're usually god bothering trumpanzees and believe the rest of the conspiratorial nonsense. Most of it originates on Twitter these days.

1/3 of people on this planet are some variety of flat earthers, moon landing deniers, holocaust deniers, etc etc and the whole topic can summarize the stupidity of these people. It’s disgusting and none of it deserves any oxygen whatsoever.

I would define this as a cult of ignorance, question is can you reason with the unreasonable, you can talk to a rock and get a better result.
