I was out having coffee yesterday and overheard two actual people agreeing that the Earth is flat. I thought that was all bullshit! Flat Earthers? No fucking way is anybody that dumb, thought I… I stand corrected, I guess.

    I got into it with the director of my UK office at work because he didn't believe in global warming.

    I thought all of them knew it was happening now and have pivoted to it not being man-made or what's the point in doing anything.

    You know, I can actually see stubborn people clinging on to climate change denial. The rise in average temperature is very small and you can’t really feel it, and it still fluctuates between hot and cold. Flat Earth, on the other hand, is an absurd belief. There is so much evidence against it. One of the guys I overheard said he knew an airline pilot who “knew” the Earth was flat. That HAD to be bullshit. I figure, even if said pilot didn’t personally fly the routes, he would know you fly West from the US to go to Australia. You fly West to go from Australia to Europe. You fly West to go from Europe to the US… Hmmmm…

    Why do you think their eyes are shaped like that?

    That reminds me of the scientists in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, who let themselves dangle in a basket from the edge of the world to conduct their research.
