    Back when “The Flat Earth Society” was all about trolling and making an elaborate scientific joke and not hardcore extremist science deniers.

        The joke is the absurdity of a flat earth and making puns like “all around the globe” in that context and creating absurdist proof that the Earth is flat despite everyone knowing since kindergarten that it isn’t.

        But some people started taking it too seriously.

          Oh, I guess I got that part but was expecting there to be a pun I didn’t get in the “read that again slowly” text.

            Wait a second. Gravity doesn’t exist! The flat earth is constantly accelerating! You’re one of THEM!

              Actually no, gravity is the behaviour we see due to warped space/time, caused by the earth’s mass. Just like it causes light to bend.

        Imagine claiming something as stupid as the flatness of Earth.

        The first group of people will try to prove that it’s round.

        The second group will be triggered by the explanations of the first group. They will try to prove that Earth is geoid.

        The third group will see how people who claim that Earth is round are being attacked.

        The fourth group of edgelords will pretend that they believe that Earth is flat.

        This ritual will continue until the myth of flat Earth is created. Isn’t it funny?

          That part I guess I knew, but I was expecting a pun in the arrow text and thought I was missing something. Guess I was overthinking it.
