round earther

not flat, not round, but a secret third thing

lol

Hello! Cubed-Earther here! Oh, you haven't heard about the 8 corners of the Earth?

this newest Cube movie sucks

yes actually--oblate spheroid www.scientificamerican.com/article/eart... of course this gets into the relativity of wrong and how 'the earth is round' is only a little wrong (in technical ways) while 'the earth is flat' is very wrong (in conspiratorial ways) www.sas.upenn.edu/~dbalmer/epo...

Strange but True: Earth Is Not Roundwww.scientificamerican.com It may seem round when viewed from space, but our planet is actually a bumpy spheroid

Probably a cube. With four corners. A Time Cube, if you will. (oh god, I have not thought about that madness since high school)

Thanks, was my first thought as well. Such a weird and fascinating mind, you have to admire the creativity.

Please tell me it is a shape Terence Howard invented.

I’m a proud secret third thing earther

"actually, the earth is pear-shaped"

It would be good to find out more about this secret thing. Maybe we should have some sort of discipline for finding out about things and testing those findings.

Hollow, probably

something uniquely him

sort of a disc shape or maybe a ringworld

toroidal truther

a ribbon, maybe, or a tesseract

Whatever shape it is, we know what methodology we're NOT using to find out.

A Moebius strip would be neat.

Mobius Strip Earth

But then the chicken will never get to the other side! 😢

"It's fun, let's admit it, to call someone a globe-head" -hbomberguy

I think we all know the real truth here

oh hell yes dinosaur planet

It's how professional RWers think of science: a belief system created to oppose religion

Globist

Perhaps our only hope is to let the brain worms fester, nurture them a bit, and hope they eat their way all the way through the wholly matter holding this madness together.

I think I meant hole-y. But oh well.

Maybe they’ll reach the end of the earth disc and fall off.

This is where there's a cut to a bunch of scenes of brainstorming a voiceover along the lines of "it let to an idea so crazy that it ... might ... just ... ... possibly ... ... ... work"

If you never accept the brain worms, then you never get to watch them turn into beautiful brain butterflies.

As someone who studies disinformation, it seems like you should have a theory on why particular lines of bullshit advance.

Talk of brain worms, madness and implying the solution is to let Right Wing extremism run its course makes it seem you have thought about as deeply about Right Wing thinking as "average MSNBC viewer".

Nothing beats this tho

Good lord she’s a hateful twat.

And I thought "evolutionist" sounded dumb

At least the brainbug of “scientism” seems to have finally gone away.

I mean there are people for whom that is an accurate description. Mostly science deniers trying to use junk science to shut down real science. Jesse Singal and Shellenberger come to mind.

It’s a stupid word that never needs to be spoken again. We can just call them frauds.

I mostly use the term “crank”

"Attention seeker." I'm using 'seeker' as a stand in for a much less polite word.

pyramid earth

I guess that better than hollow earth.

The earth is shaped like an everything bagel (the mountains are all the little seeds and garlic bits)

Hollow earth confirmed

My favorite of the earth conspiracies

Hollow head confirmed.

Uh, sorry, do you mean Candace Owens or me? Because I was making a joke.

Candace.

👍
