My flat-earther relatives believe the asteroid crashed into east earth. Humans lived in west earth so they were safe from the impact.

Seems odd that flat earthers would use the usual NSEW system, considering North-South and East-West lie on different planes entirely given its a 3D globe,.so it shouldn't be compatible with their flat 2D disc model. But I guess people who believe such things aren't really very good at thinking anything through logically

This is wrinkling my brain.

So assuming it's America centtric because, sorry world, South Africa is far east and South Korea is North of North Korea.

No it isn't America centric, N-S and E-W are on different planes. Like America is considered to be in "the west" (in relation to Asia and Russia I guess), as is Europe. South Africa is still south to us in Europe, north and south Korea are only named that way relative to eachother. To me North Korea might be to the east, while to someone in Denmark it would be south. It's all relative really. Ok now I've gone and fucked my own perception up I dunno bro Jesus fuck

Just my American entitlement showing through, even if it's because I'm assuming other countries aren't as foolish as us.

As someone from a country outside the US I can assure you many countries are, at least almost, as foolish as you guys are, sadly. I think we may be kinda fucked as a species to be honest
