Moon landing

Not even close. Moon landing can be rationalized easily, flat earth is very hard to justify

Though there aren't really that many legit flat earthers, if any at all. Most of it is trolling

Lots of them are very stupid

But at least they arent dangerous like anti-vaxxers

It's up there with fake moon landing and controlled demolition on 911 as far as stupidity is concerned, but people's commitment to it is more like fluoridated water or chemtrails.

The earth is round in places and flat in places. Do you even geography?

you have to understand where they are coming from. The only pictures of Earth are from NASA. Until the average person can send a camera into space we have no idea what the Earth really looks like from space. We can see other planets with backyard telescopes , but we still don't know if those planets are flat or round.

Pizzagate is dumb as fuck, but no more than any other stupid conspiracy theory. Flat earth takes a special kind of stupid/insane to go along with and I'm having a hard time thinking of what could compare. Nibiru maybe?

Let's be fair; when Hollow Earth was a theory, people had barely dug into the Earth and didn't even know about tectonic plates. There was no scientific evidence for or against it at the time, and no one was claiming that it was a big cover up. In the case of flat Earth, there is independently verifiable evidence and a scientific community willing to back it up (of course, the theorists say it's a conspiracy, but at least in that regard, it's quite dissimilar from Hollow Earth).

When I look around I see flatness. The earth is flat, confirmed.

Yeah flat earth is the worst probably. A lot of these are like discrete events that could theoretically have hidden elements to it, and you could argue that there are parties who could and would want to hide it. Flat earth would have so much plainly visible evidence that just isn't there.

An ex of mine posted articles about hollow earth not more than 5 years ago. Dodged a bullet there.

Isnt there another hollow earth theorythat says aliens live in the center and the only way in/out is at the poles?

Wait, people still believe it?

Nope, I take it back, that's crazy balls.

I was thinking of, like, Jules Verne-era shit.

Anyway, the dumbest ones are the ones held by subcultures or religions that cause adverse reactions to actual real shit.

Examples:
Psychology / Psychiatry is Xenu-backed mind control (Scientology)
Jewish Banking Conspiracy
Anti-Vaxxing
etc

Believing the moon landing was fake is stupid but doesn't really hurt anyone except yourself.

Flat Earth Society has been around for decades. Back then they were much smaller and legitimately believed it.

I'm pretty sure most "flat earthers" today are just trolls and not even part of the flat earth society.
