absolutely sound". Really. And the ice in Antarctica "holds everything in". I can't begin to explain the stupidity I just witnessed. There's not a doubt on my mind that 90% of them are "Trumpers" as well.

about 8 weeks ago. I had never heard of this theory and after I listened to him for 30 min and came home I googled it saw that other people said the same BS. In fact, the article that I read was almost word for word what this person had been telling me and showing me on his smartphone. Then I read they actually had a convention in North Carolina and 400 flat earthers attended. I guess I should have expected this when I decided to let a stranger who was teaching his pet turtle to walk on a leash in the park engage me in a conversation.

And then just leave them there... for a while.

Give them the Overview Effect. I mean personally! Let that hammer the facts home.

The time they spend up there is directly proportional to the amount of time that they still profess flat Earth rubbish.

One hopes that they pack enough food, water, oxygen, CO2 scrubbers, bags to poop in, etc.

Send them all up there until they are disabused of their delusions.

Problem solved.
