It reads like a joke but it's just a straight description of how flat earthers think.

>Go to doctor  
>Get CT scan of my head  
>Totally normal, eyes not hacked  
>NASA must have replaced the windows in the space station with 8K screens.

No. When someone goes into outer space NASA actually rolls out a giant painting of "round" Earth. There are no limits to the craziness these people will go through to hide the truth.

I do get a good laugh when every once in a while a flat earther comes up with a newer and more convoluted way of proving that the earth is in fact round. Then there's the bonus round where they do the Olympic level mental gymnastics to explain why their own results don't prove anything.

Science is used to help Describe, Explain, Predict, and Control any phenomena studied. The Describe and Explain part would be the pure science, and the Predict and Control parts are the applied science part.

Instead of letting a Flat Earther moo on and on about the Describe and Explain part, force them to show devices, procedures or processes that have been created out of Flat Earther Descriptions and Explanations of reality.

If their observations are accurate, they should be able to demonstrate or generate something useful from their special knowledge. It should be something that simply cannot be generated using conventional Round Earth Descriptions or Explanations.

Tl;dr: Flat Earthers are unable to demonstrate practical application of their special knowledge that improves any process.

If they don't produce, the discussion is over.

I know this is a joke, but there was that group who was taken for a free trip to antarctica. We must stop rewarding flat earthers and anti science! Just ignore them, don't try to prove anything to them, show them they're not worth even getting close to

Hey, back in the 90s, I went to an theme park and they had those IMAX screen with moving chairs and you felt like you were getting chased by the shark or the dinosaurs. So imagine what they can do now when they stuff you in a small cabin, they can make you believe ANYTHING! Who's crazy now huh?

only flat earthers can think that we have reached technology 2 just to fool them

“NASA hacked my eyes” is honestly peak commitment to the bit. No amount of evidence can defeat advanced denial technology. 😂

What's the explanation for the shape of the Moon, Sun, all other planets, etc... in the flat earth mindset?

I remember once while debating religion, Sam Harris making a point about how, when sharing certain beliefs, people pay an immediate price when they talk about them. The one in particular is that Elvis is still alive.

He wasn't specifically talking about conspiracy theories, but it made me think about them, nonetheless. If I did my math right, were Elvis still alive, he'd be 91 years old today. So, it's far, far more likely that Elvis is alive than it is that the Earth is flat.

Flat earthers do pay that sort of price, but I don't think we ridicule them enough, compared to how much more ridiculous their views are than the people who think Elvis is still alive.

What I thought I'd do was, I'd pretend to be one of those deaf-mutes.

See I thought he was doing it just to get free tickets to space.

Occam's razor insists that you were de- and then re-programmed to think that you were in space viewing the Earth, when, in fact, you were in a black room hooked up to an IV with a lurching goon whispering into your ear.

You never left the Denver airport.

IT'S MORE LIKELY THAN NOT. It happens every day.

They didn't hack your eyes it was all just special effects.
