Tell flat-earthers that the earth is flat, but wrapped around so that when you leave one edge of the map you re-enter on the other side - like Pac Man but in every direction. And thus the flat earth only looks spherical but is in fact a hollow ball made from a flat sheet.

Then watch to see if they switch to being hollow-earthers instead lol

Now you have projective-plane-earthers!

Or more likely torus-earthers, unless the gluing is reversed.

"Like Pac Man but in every direction" sounds more like a projective plane to me.

A few of them already do believe this.

thats downright boring next to some of the models they come up with.

there is a model with a hollow/torus earth,
were the sun is on the inside, while we are on the outside.

the sun dips up and down anlong the poles and leaves through the gigant holes in the arctic&antarctic (that nasa covers up)
which causes the daylight cycle.

and the sun moving throughout the sky is just an illusion caused by atmospheric lensing

this reminds me of inside job

I think it is more of a tiling block system so as you move the edge of the map it the blocks detach from the far side and move in front of you before you reach the edge.
