Conspiracy theories!

[iced tea clock]

Also there are these guys called the "flat earth society" who have a strong belief that the world IS flat and surrounded by a giant wall of ice (so that the water doesnt flow off).
like this:

So the Antarctica doesnt exist actually.

They made up an explanation for everything.
Like that we have sundown and sunrise because the sun and the moon are only spotlights, circling upon the earth and not around it.
Also gravity exists, because the earth (together with the whole rest of the universe) is constantly accelerating at 1g.

Oh holy shit, ahahaha this is rich. My history teacher met one of these idiots at a gas station. Said he was afraid of boats because he didn't want to fall off the end of the earth.

[buttplug]

oh ok

When I was a kid, and asked my dad why some people do the stupid things they do, he would always tell me this: "Jeffrey, there are still people who think the world is flat."
Apparently a lot of them are also Atheists? http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=51ec8988129e80c03a811c9b028bfea1&topic=20083.0

Here's a good one. If the vapor trail behind a plane takes more than one minute to completely dissipate or is found in a uniform pattern it isn't a vapor trail. The US government regularly dusts their population with biological agents in accordance to the Illuminati's new world order depopulation agenda.

Oh man dude, I completely forgot about that one! I have to use it. I'm 99% sure I've heard of a film about it too.

New mission for this thread: find a film and some credible resources reguarding this.

As silly as it may sound, I don't think we can prove them wrong, because how can we know what shape earth has?

You're fucking kidding me, right?

HAVE YOU SEEN IT'S NOT FLAT WITH YOUR OWN EYES?!?!?!

There's a lot of stuff we can't prove because we haven't experienced it. I can't back up claims that china exists because I've never been there. And the center of the earth may very well be filled with cheese because I've never been down there either. But the information we do have and common logic is enough to assume that the earth is round, china is not a myth, and the earth does not have cheese filling.

[ArgoonKlok]

and the earth does not have cheese filling.

God dammit Flounderman.

Why must you ruin my dreams every single time.

God dammit Flounderman.

I said we could assume the earth is not filled with cheese. Maybe it is, nobody has actually drilled to the center of the earth before. Keep reaching for that rainbow!

[ArgoonKlok]

A delicious, salty rainbow.

[ArgoonKlok]

Actually, we've had probes and things sent into the center of the Earth. We also know what's there based on what comes up. They were going to drill a hole to the center of the Earth (again) a little while ago but I don't know if that ever took flight. I'm pretty sure the guy was just looking for a Balrog any ways. Dreams destroyed.

If it took flight, someone should inform them that they're going the wrong way.

I can't back up claims that china exists

is this something you made up as a comical statement to illustrate your point, or is this an actual theory some people belief in?

[BehemothClock]

Just popping in here to say that those flat earth people are retards. One of them tried using Gauss's law to prove that an infinitely wide earth would have a finite gravitational pull (assuming that's the only I'm a edgy teen statement they've ever made). Even though Gauss's law has nothing to do with gravity. I would point it out to them, but I'd rather not waste the effort to explain it to them.

To my knowledge, nobody denies China exists. It'd be funny if there was a group of people who did though.
