Madeline: Science denial really grinds my metaphorical gears, and Flat Earthers are some of the most egregious about it. So manhandle them into strait jackets and shove them in the damn rocket already.
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.
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.
I don’t believe in big natural boobs. can i get sent towards them?
Cursed to orbit but never touch.
If you don’t believe in round chests does that make you a flat chester?
I can show you mine anytime. I’m a guy tho.
Flat earthers make the world go round!
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.

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.

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.

I’m with you. It’s time to create some concents from Neal Stephensons Anathem.
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.
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
They’ll just think the earth is a flat, cicular TV and radio home about it.
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
What’s your opinion on free speech?
Madeline: Fundamentally, I think it’s fictitious.
No need. They’re such a small % of population and also wouldn’t believe it even when shot to orbit.
Nazis, too
No nazis in space, they belong underground
