    Sorry to wake you from your cushy life of lies!
    (Please don't turn this into a D&D thread. Posted purely for fun.)

    This conspiracy theory has been around for a while, but it's starting to take off because rapper B.o.B has been going off on Twitter for the past 24 hours. It's hilarious.

    Pretty sure the great philosopher Tila Tequila is a flat-Earther as well.

    I thought this was maybe performance art, but now I'm not so sure.

    Maybe there is no limit to how far backwards we can go.

    pretty sure most creationists consider the world to be round.

    you are correct but as I understand it, young earth is somewhat of a sect in the creationists movement so I was thinking more of them and since both claims don't really refute the other, its not a hard leap.

    Finally makes sense to me now why movies made in Australia/NZ aren't upside down.

    You can actually get a non-stop flight from New Zealand to Argentina. It is a 13 hour flight. Were this theory correct, that would require flying all the way across the flat earth over the north pole, and should be about the longest flight in the world. You can also fly from Perth to Johannesburg directly. Obviously this whole thing is r****ded, but why even include stuff in your video that is so easily disproven?

    TL;DR version: NASA discovered that the world was flat during early explorations into space. The US government, along with a coalition of nations, decided that it was best to keep this a secret to prevent mass chaos. NASA has been kept intact to keep up the lies that the Earth is round and that we live in a heliocentric solar system. So basically, NASA is no more than a glorified movie studio and the US government is using them as a front to line world leaders' pockets.

    Seems legit :grin:

    I don't get why Earth would be flat but Endor is a sphere. That's crazy.
