    It would be trivially easy to disprove it if it were worth the money to load them onto a plane and circumnavigate the globe in multiple directions, showing that there is no “wall of ice” and you always end up back where you started eventually. But it’s not, so they can continue to be idiots.

      One of them spent $20k on a fancy gyroscope which proves the rotation of the earth and they ignore the shit out of stuff like that.

      Visible curvature? Fish eye lens or “refraction”. Images from space? CGI.

      At one point a flat earther launched himself into “space” with his homebuilt rocket to prove there was no curve, sadly it failed and the guy lost his life in the process.
