To be fair, if someone believes in a flat earth, they probably also believe in an infinite atmosphere….
Good luck explaining infinite atmosphere would mean infinite gravity and we’d be crushed into a black hole.
But yeah, sure. Earth is the flat object in the observable universe and NASA totally has the power and budget to make possible test you can do to prove otherwise wrong.
They believe in a dome. Flat Earthers are almost all creationists dressing up as independent thinkers.
They believe in the cosmology described in Genesis: …wikipedia.org/…/Ancient_near_eastern_cosmology

Ah yes, bullshit assymetry principle.
Humans can’t possibly refute and explain away the position of all the absolute stupid shit that other humans spew out of their mouths like unadulterated garbage.
the problem seems to be…
we can’t seem to fix stupid.
or it’s just too profitable of a system to let die.

The problem is that stupid is an individual attribute. Natural selection doesn’t seem to care about it in the short term.

We, unfortunately, aren’t subject to natural selection anymore. We have been left to our own stupidity
