What I never understood about this theory was: where do you fall down to? And if the moon is a sphere, why not the earth?

The flat earth is constantly accelerating "upwards", which is what creates the equivalent of sane people gravity. So it's not really falling over the edge as the Earth leaving you behind.

Yes, that's their belief. Does that mean that there is no gravity beyond earth? Also how does the sun work then? Do they believe we are geocentric, not heliocentric?

There's just so much that doesn't add up.

Thing is, even though that's the one thing that would work*, they don't believe that.

* Except you'd start seeing relativistic effects in short order.

Just the earth is flat, everything else is sphere. That's why there's only life on earth

What does life have to do with spheres?

What ended up happening with all the QAnon nonsense? Did believers just forget about it? Moved on, had no self reflection, and voted for Trump again?

They grouped up in telegram chats and started sending bomb threats to elementary schools

I like the parking meter at the edge of the world.

"Parking Meter at the Edge of the World"

That was a Douglas Adams book.

Don't forget the trash can in the background. Don't want litter in space.

The litter is what awakens Lord Cthulhu.
