RedPixel 05/28/17 3:54:48 PM #1:	YouTube thumbs up/down ratios are usually a fairly decent indicator when it comes to calling out bullshit. If it's a clickbait title, video sucks, or something's annoying, it's almost always an automatic downvote from other users. HOW does THIS video have so many thumbs ups? The guy looks and sounds like he is on some crazy stupid drugs, offers NO evidence of his claims, and even shows dogs squatting down to shit... and the comments (his supporters?) seem convinced he's right. This is the most nutjob video I've seen in a while but the thumbs up to thumbs down ratio defies everything I've ever known about YouTube. Only logical explanation I can think of is that the dude created hundreds of YouTube accounts, but even that's a stretch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4GT3Oo7RNQ Don't get me wrong-- I'm all ears when it comes to ANY conspiracy theories... but I've never heard any compelling evidence for why they think the world is flat. I've seen other videos even claiming that military bases exist in Antarctica to "guard the earth's border." --- Working in a team is great!

ValiantKnight 05/28/17 6:05:05 PM #24:	The video itself is strange. It seems to say some rather nice things about Tesla, which I'm fine with, however gives little to no evidence at all to support any kind of flat earth theory that I could find. It's just a random video about a dude driving around saying that antennas are satellites with some music playing, a few minutes of cats, and some talk about dreams, with some random Tesla and Einstein information spliced in.
