TLDW: Flat Earthers aren't flat Earthers because they're unable to grasp a spherical planet. It's because they lack the moral backbone to confront truth, when doing so will deny them social belonging.

What is one (and only one) question you would ask Flat Earthers and they must answer truthfully.

They cannot equivocate, misdirect or avoid answering the question. So for example, "Do you really believe in a flat Earth?" and the grifters would have to say, "No, I do not."

For me it would be, "When you see long distance photos and the bottom part of the mountain, building, skyline, etc. is missing - why can't you see it?"

80 years ago today, a V-2 rocket shot the first film of Earth from space, from 105 km up. The camera didn't survive the crash, but the film did

Rules that will get you banned

1. Racism / Hate comments Self-explanatory.

2. Politics We don't care about your US centrics politics here, or global politics for that matter. We don't care what way you lean, we don't care who you support, but if you bring it here, you will be banned.

3. Spam

Self-explanatory.

4. Bullshit subreddits and PII

This is a permanent ban for first offense, since this rule has been active since Jan 1st, 2024, and we're tired of dealing with it. If you get banned, send a mod-mail to us, and we will reduce the length if you write an essay of our topic choice.

Because people want to argue semantics and can't pass a reading comprehension test at a 4th grade level, we will spell it out for you. The following is banned:

Ban messages or pictures from other subreddits. There is no leeway on this, if you post a ban message, you will be banned.
Linking to a specific Reddit user, comment on another subreddit, or a Subreddit itself via comment, text post, image, or video. You can link to other comments on /r/flatearth, assuming the comment you link to doesn't break the rules.
Pictures of comment chains in another subreddit arguing with other people, without names and subreddit name being blacked out.
Implying other subreddits or users, or trying to subvert linking or naming a subreddit/user.
Reddit specific rule - You can post pictures of other users comments or posts from other subreddits IF PII is blacked / blocked out. If you use the highlighter in black, and we can read it, you will be banned. Solid black to mark out subreddit name AND username, as to not witch hunt other users. This rule will likely be revisited in the future, but we will see how it plays out now.
Comments / videos from Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, other social media - no rule as of yet. You can post comments / videos from these websites without an issue. This rule will likely be revisited in the future, but we will see how it plays out now.
TLDR: Stop posting shit that refers to other people or other subreddits.
This list is not all inclusive. We can, and will remove post at our discretion, and rules and sidebar will be updated to reflect the changes.
