Sounds like you live a fruitful and fulfilling life.

I'm guessing you're being sarcastic, but I like to see how opposing viewpoints rationalize their beliefs. This time was a doozy.

I used to have this experience a lot, where I would go out to conspiracy or sociopath support networks or outright hate groups (right wing forums, basically) and it's only funny for 30 seconds. After that it makes you want to hide indoors forever.

I have a friend that I have to tune out pretty often because he's a conspiracy nut who believes Sandy Hook was fake along with other crazy thoughts. You can't tell him anything, because he's dug himself into a deep YouTube rabbit hole that he swears is citation worthy.

I watch a Youtuber that goes by Mr. Sensible and it's pretty entertaining because he debunks Flat Earthers constantly.

Most of them believe there are no other planets. They believe it's just the flat Earth, covered by a dome or veil, in a vast unending ocean. The stars, moon, sun and planets are just projections on the veil.

Yes, people believe this.

Two genuine questions for flat earthers

  1. What is the benefit of a 'the world is round' conspiracy that that they claim the govt has been pushing for hundreds of years?
  2. What do they believe is at the edge? a wall? a cliff?

They claim either that planes go nowhere close to this wall and that flight paths and coordination data is all lies to keep up the deception, or that once you fly into the veil it teleports you to the opposite side.

I think you can gather where I'm going with this. What if they refuse to pay the fines they see as unjust. You're going to send people to prison for not believing science?

The ones I've encountered say the other planets are round since you can observe that, just as (their words not mine) you can observe that the earth is flat.

Youre thinking of it too rationally.

Their sticking point about the moon landing is that if the government could successfully lie to its citizens about such a historic achievement, then the government absolutely would do the same about the Earth actually being flat. But, see, flat Earthers are too smart to fall for the lie. Theyre not sheep. If only you and I knew the truth, like they do.

Flat earth debunking content is hilarious.

These people (flat earthers) are without logic and reasoning and refuse to accept evidence, except other youtubers taking pictures across the horizon over water, which automatically disproves NASA somehow.

Just slash the military budget in half, and you have more than enough to accomplish those, still look for alien life, and still have a higher military budget than every other country on the planet.

I like the ones that go like this.

Debunker: "I will engage in discussion with you, but don't do these 10 things that flat earthers do, and address these 5 points instead..."

Flat earther response: *hour long video exclusively doing the 10 things and failing to acknowledge any of the 5 points*
