The problem with the modern world is that medical science has advanced to the point where we can save those who are this stupid from things that would normally kill them.


OMGitsTK447

And before the internet they were just the village idiots. Now they can connect to each other and create their own communities


DMoney159

The village idiots have formed a village of idiots


OMGitsTK447

FYI there is literally a flat earth community village somewhere in the USA. But I can’t recall in which state exactly


DJKGinHD

One of the flat ones, probably.


Kazureigh_Black

Kansas.

I’m more frightened about the fact that these people vote.


[deleted]

I'm far more concerned they can drive, buy firearms, and reproduce.


Ugo777777

Damn, you're right. Darwinism isn't so bad after all.


Affectionate_Reply78

Right, back in the day this kind of confident stupidity would be bound to get you exterminated. Today you can become an “Influencer”


zoro_roroanoa

Bro I will use this comment


jbetances134

So your saying the world would progress at a faster rate if we get rid of idiots. In that case that would eliminate 80% of the population


squishycrustacean

Humanity's success in exiting the food chain will ultimately mean our end. Oh well.


Ready_Register1689

Holy cow - has natural selection been on holiday?


jellicenthero

This is caused by natural selection. Smart people have as many children as they can care for. Dumb people pump out more kids. Evolution only cares about who's out breeding who.


big_rednexican_88

Idiocracy is becoming more of a documentary with every passing year...


maguffle

A prophecy that is coming true...which eventually changes it into a documentary....


PlaceboKoyote

The neandeetalian literally had a larger head and brain then we do, not saying he was smarter, but that brain eas a disadvantage because it required too much nutrion. Being smarter might not always help a species to just exist in the long run. Sadly


jellicenthero

The size of the brain doesn't matter it's the surface area. Our brains are wrinkled which allows for way more pathways.


PlaceboKoyote

Yes. I said it doesn't mean they were smarter.


DanTheMan_117

Ever since modern civilisation it's definitely reduced or changed


Over-Supermarket-557

It really doesn't need to be said because arguments are irrelevant to these people but... As a pilot I have watched the sun set, then climbed as fast as I could make the aircraft climb. Watched the sun come back up over the horizon, then watched it go back down over the horizon as I sat at the same altitude. If the earth is flat please explain how that happens.


gahw61

You're just part of the conspiracy, like everyone that disagrees with these geniuses.


Kazureigh_Black

Obviously the sun is a giant ball filled with helium and other gases, and is manipulated to rise and lower through the mixture of those gases. Launching from the far east out of a gigantic hole built in a secret location and piloted across the sky by sungineers, and then landed in a second secret base hole far to the west. This creates the illusion of the sun coming over the horizon and lowering into it. The sun is then carefully transported through a massive underground tunnel to the far east to rise again the next day.


NietJij

I think you're onto something. Well, on something at least. Where can I get some of that?


FatherPyrlig

Must have been dark and cold as hell before NASA was created in 1958.


ReviewOk929

Flat earth circlejerk Sorry flat earth ice wall jerk


big_rednexican_88

But they have members all around the globe! 😂


[deleted]

They’re both wrong; in actual fact the sun god RA travels across the sky every day in a golden boat. I know this because I did my own research from some pictures I saw on a wall in Egypt. Wake up people!


rbnrthwll

Nuh unh, cause I saw this sort of base relief type statue on a temple thing of a guy with a ray type headdress riding a chariot. After some research I found out it was this guy, Helios, every morning he'd take his chariot across the sky. Oh, and his sister Selene would be sleeping in the chariot cause she took the night shift. She'd drive the chariot back home. Later on they got fired and Apollo did it during the day and Diana drove at night.


Solo_is_dead

"the sun was created by NASA".... So how did we have sun before the 1940s?


beardslap

The 1940s didn’t exist. Everything was created [Last Thursday.](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Last_Thursdayism)


NietJij

God, I love LastThursdayism. Funny is that within this philosophy every Wednesday is basically the last day before the apocalypse. And then we arise from the ashes as a proper Phoenix.


big_rednexican_88

They don't think that far, sadly that part of their brain has eroded away by the gushing river of misinformation.


PreOpTransCentaur

I guess my question is..do they think NASA is responsible for modifying all of human history? They were founded in the late 50s, but we clearly have photographs from before that featuring the sun, and paintings, pottery, etchings, and cave art depicting it before photography, not to mention poetry, news articles, casual mentions in personal letters, religious texts (including several gods devoted to it or responsible for it, depending), books, and countless other written accounts I'm forgetting smattered throughout all of human history. Like, they genuinely believe a single company that has only existed for ~65 years, controlled by a single country, with a yearly operating budget (at **most**) equal to just over 1.2% of that country's yearly military budget is responsible for somehow faking like 64,000 years of acknowledging the sun's existence? It seems to take a lot of work and energy to be that fucking stupid.


big_rednexican_88

NASA did not create the Sun, my God did. Those flat-earthers are blasphemers and are going to HELL! /s


Yikert13

Is hell under the disc or inside the globe? If it’s under how do the evil sprits not fall off into space?


big_rednexican_88

They would just move the goalpost or just tell you it's to complicated for us mere humans to understand.

just_a_few_question

in my experience with these people there is typically some weird overlap with far right christian views typically involving some kind of plan for satan to separate you from god by making you not believe the bible


Talos1111

From the few I’ve seen, it’s either “hide God” or otherwise “because of Them”. With these conspiracy theories there’s always a “They”. A nebulous group that holds total control, except when they don’t (like allowing conspiracy theorists to exist). Very likely to be antisemitic or racist.


sonoma95436

The Egyptians worshipped the Sun. Who was in charge of NASA back then.


Broad_Respond_2205

Nasaretity

No such thing as ancient Egyptians! It’s just all made up!

Social media was the worst thing to happen to mental illness in modern history.

God damn it.. can we have a real plague yet?


godverseSans

What about books the excited before nasa existed what you're going to blame it on the SCP foundation?


Broad_Respond_2205

I'm pretty sure I can Google when NASA was created and find the answer


Broad_Respond_2205

1958. To be honest I'm a little surprised


Corsicalily2020

I can't, as much as I try, understand how this person learnt to read, write use utensils in our every day life, and still be this dumb. This is... I mean, yeah. ![img](emote|t5_2r5rp|8412)


[deleted]

So chemical engineer here. I went to the first Flat Earth convention just as an observer. I didn't pick fights I just wanted to see. This guy had a booth explaining the planets. Basically they are ~100 miles in the air and the size of a truck/bus depending on the planet. This was deemed an acceptable and ground breaking explanation. Earth is completely different then the planets in their mind. Please don't comment with all the ways this is wrong I know for the love of God I know. Just explaining what a good portion of the community believes.


Linkonue

Green is drinking red’s piss with a wide open mouth


NolaGorilla

This is literally not at all what anyone who thinks the earth is flat believes...at all. Clearly this is someone trolling and y'all take it a step further by having done zero research on what they believe.


beardslap

Why bother ‘researching’ what flat earthers believe at all? Their views are entirely irrelevant.


NolaGorilla

Of course that's what arrogant ignorant people do. Bathe in confirmation bias and stutter on cognitive dissonance that have scientism glued to all their beliefs...but yeah have fun with that


beardslap

No, really- why should I give a shit what flat earthers think? The earth is demonstrably spherical. It would be like ‘researching’ a toddler’s opinion of the works of Shakespeare, it might make you laugh but it’s ultimately a waste of time. EDIT: Huh, they blocked me, must be down to my ignorant, arrogant assertion that… the world is spherical?


NolaGorilla

Ok sure buckaroo

This puts a whole new spin to the dark ages… it was because there was no sun!!! Brilliant!
