Spherical Earth, on the other hand...

I have not found an explanation for that epiphenomenon, although I have concluded that it is not meant ironically.

Some of that is a put on, trolling people over something obviously silly. And some is real.

I think the whole Flat Earth thing is like the "Kubrick filmed the Apollo 11 landing on a soundstage" idea... it started out as a joke, and then got out of hand.

That seems to be happening a lot lately.

Don't understand how people come to the conclusion that the earth is circular.
