Man, fucking think tanks tryna eliminate my prime meridian.

How do they plan to flatten in tho? Big bomba? Big roller? Maybe make yo mama sit on it?

I still think this is most likely an elaborate internet hoax.

Would someone really do that? Just go and lie on the internet?

Why did I read that as pride meridian? We goin gay here

More or less:

It is only comparatively recently that the Flat Earth concept has grown widespread support, due to Samuel Rowbotham in the 19th century. Flat Earth beliefs have had a recent resurgence since 2015, due to the internet.

It started out the way, the original Flat Earth group was kind of a satire project to promote scientific skepticism. But, like with so many satirical groups that commit to the bit, actual idiots ate the onion.

I saw a thing once from an olden times flat earther where they said that pretending to believe the earth is flat is a great chance to practice debate skills. My old boss used to come by my cube and pick fights about flat earth BS with a huge smile on his face, and he loved to argue, so I believe it.

I did work with a guy once who was obsessed with the hollow earth bit. This was back in early to mid 00s, when the internet produced all manner of wondrous and chaotic crap.

He pulled up someone’s site, because if it had a detailed web page, it must be real.

That one seemed like he either believed or very much wanted to believe.

well as we all know the earth is hollow, so we could simply screw hooks into the crust and use cables to slowly bring opposing sides together.

Simple, but a hell of a project. We should start ASAP.
