I don't believe in big natural boobs. can i get sent towards them?
If you don't believe in round chests does that make you a flat chester?
Cursed to orbit but never touch.
Some people can only accept the truth when rubbed on their faces...
Classic Reddit moment.
"I hate natural boobs!!! Don't send to me any!" 😂
I can show you mine anytime. I'm a guy tho.
That doesn’t sound at all fair. Why should they get trips to orbit and I don’t ?
No one said anything about life support or return.
Just a rocket, a straight jacket, and right off into space you go. Depending on how many they cram in a rocket, there's a chance they'll have enough oxygen to see the spherical earth, shattering their weak minds, and succumbing to hypoxia, death, evacuating their bowels, and their corpses floating around in space, buried in their own shit and piss, boiling from solar radiation, becoming the first stew in space, before burning up on reentry.
Lmao new copypasta just dropped.
Imagine someone writing text like this about some other group of people.
Yummy. Makes you hungry.
Madeline: Point.
You really think they’re going to believe their lying eyes and ears? I think not. They’re in a collective psychosis.
Pshaw, when people are handed direct evidence of something, they'll totally come around to reality!
*looks at twitter posts
...oh.
Flat earthers make the world go round!
They'll think they got strapped into a simulator and are just looking at far away TV screens or some shit. They don't tend to let evidence sway them from their beliefs
You advocating death penalty for wrong beliefs?
I'm pretty sure this entire post was a joke.
I mean yeah but that's how the right got so far. Jokes become reality.
Madeline: I don't want them dead. I just want to hear the wonderful shattering noises of their worldview going snap.
If being a flat earther got me a free ticket to space, I'd be out on the corner right now preaching about the giant space turtle.
it's not just one turtle.
it's turtles all the way down.
There was one flat-Earther who built his own rocket in an attempt to prove his claims. He ended up crashing and dying.
It's a fine point, but he wasn't a flat earther. He was grifting flat earthers to fund his rocketry hobby.
Make them row out into the ocean and over the edge!
Woah, too far. They shouldn't have to die for being dumb. Just have them row to the edge and once they find it, they can come back.
OK I agree! I want photos.
Nazis, too
No nazis in space, they belong underground
Based
6 feet under to be exact
I'm with you. It's time to create some concents from Neal Stephensons Anathem.
What's your opinion on free speech?
Madeline: Fundamentally, I think it's fictitious.
Could I get that "punishment" too?
No need. They're such a small % of population and also wouldn't believe it even when shot to orbit.
Would a ride in a hot air balloon help them?
what's your biggest argument that the earth is round when you encounter flat earth believers?
Madeline: I haven't encountered any (that I know of), so cannot answer this question.
Madeline: Though I would be quite interested in what ANYONE would stand to gain from lying about the shape of the world. I'd really want to dissect those motives.
say I'm a flat earther, I say you look at the oceans and they're flat, and you look at water and would expect it to just spill over (how can it be flat on a round earth? it makes no sense how the waters look on a round earth...)
or say you acknowledge that the composite images of the "Blue Marble" view of the earth have been faked: https://qz.com/192700/the-guy-who-created-iphones-earth-image-explains-why-he-needed-to-fake-it
how do we know the earth is the shape it is then if people are not honestly giving photographic evidence of its shape?
Or say with GPS, I say that could be done on the land, there is no need to rely on satellites. Then how do we need to believe in satellites orbiting the earth, when land operations are sufficient for explaining them?
Or say someone says they don't know why people are lying about the earth being flat, when we know it is. What are they trying to hide by lying about its obvious flat shape?
and so on, to give you an idea of how a conversation might go
I feel that way about most deniers/conspiracy theorists/religious nuts etc but we're always going to have them.
I wouldn't be sad if these flat earthers went to find this supposed edge of the world and jumped off though. We have enough problems here on "God's dinner plate flying through space."
I'm happy to let people believe that the earth is flat. Why is this such a big deal ?
There are people that believe that all women descend from an rib.
I find that much more scary that Jim and Stacey think that we living on a floating Mercator projection.
