The flat earth society has members all around the globe.
Lots of people will miss your joke btw. Let's see how many actually gets it in about a month.
👌😂😂😂
@@akashjefe This is the most common joke about flat earthers... :P
@@kptmaci4979 sorry I'm New to flat Earth stuff. Don't know much joke about them
I don't like the atmosphere in this comment section. Flat earth is no joke. Edit: I guess I went too deep. Atmo"sphere" :)
"You can't tell truth from lies anymore!" said a man thoroughly broken by Bob Mortimer.
This made me laugh. Thanks.
He’s teaching David to do his own dentistry.
Don't forget Claudia Winkleman.
@@fc63457 Yeah - Claudia has to be the best player of "WILTY" that I've ever seen.
Underrated comment
To quote someone. “If the earth was flat, cats would have pushed everything off by now “.
😂
This deserves a LOT more appreciation 😂
to fare ancient egyptians believed that, giant cosmic space cat looks after morale scale. which is no wonder that morals are bit messed up.
I'd like to pass this one on. I hope you don't mind.
David has the best rants out there and even if they are serious you still manage to laugh unique quality of a great comedian
He's a fool
Hey sorry, beeing German, I'm not familiar with this guy. Is he a reptilioide maybe? 😉
He's brilliant.
This isn't one of them though. It's embarrassing.
Oooh, this wasn't a Mitchellian rant, my friends. By his standards, this was just pleasant chit-chat.
Agreed! I was thinking he is soooo holding back!
Yup ... This wasn't even chit-chat just a chit when it comes to this gentleman's abilities in the art of rants
@Stanislav Hronek Now if that is what you were asserting - that and that alone - I would say you were telling the truth!
"Hold on, they adopted a little boy called Steve Jenkins and took him to china?"
cyprol 😂 I thought the same. It only lasted 2 minutes
Have you ever seen a more unlikely group of people sitting together having a conversation.
Life must be weird for David Mitchell. He goes from small BBC radio sitcoms to having friends who win Oscars and sitting on a sofa with a former US presidential candidate.
@@Ovenman940 Which Oscar-winning friends does he have? Not in a malicious way, just asking out of interest.
@@Ali-lh1st Olivia Colman
I hadn´t noticed until you said it. But even with that combination, Graham manages to keep the show entertaining.
Yes, me and my wife!
I love David. Not only is he really funny, but he also just seems very reasonable. I like that.
Not only did he study in Cambridge, his IQ is very high. Don’t ask me for the exact number. He makes me laugh all the time - so does Lee Mack.
"I did my own research". One of the single, most scary phrases you can hear uttered in recent years!
Sounds like you're triple jabbed pal.

Haha yeah my thoughts exactly "the research on KZhead" 😂
@@viggaqu6385 ''triple jabbed''?
"And you did it wrong".
To someone who's not familiar with Mitchell, he can sound a little unhinged but this was by no means a rant. A Mitchellian rant is a force to be reckoned with and sometimes he doesn't even breathe when he's ranting. Quite marvelous really.
Know what you mean, but there's really nothing unhinged about criticising flat-earthers.
@Joe Bloggs There isn't a concise argument being had because flat earth theory is fundamentally an anti-argument. What proof is there of a round planet? Only centuries of mathematics analysing the curvature of the horizon, the way light interacts with the atmosphere, a basic understanding of how objects in space actually exist and that's before you get into the actual photographs. But these points don't matter to flat earthers, because they use the same response for each of them: you cannot trust official government-sanctioned statistics. Which is, essentially, a conversation-ender. Do you see why healthy debate cannot be fostered like this? There is no agenda that they believe in, they literally just...do not believe the government. Which isn't unreasonable by itself, but if you ask what possible reason the government might have for this coverup they have no solid theory. It's literally just contrarianism with zero substance. How do you eloquently disprove an argument with someone uninterested in reasonable argument?
@Joe Bloggs If you buy a telescope or binoculars and look into the sky all you will see is approximately ROUND objects, so long as they are massive enough to have an appreciable gravity. Why do you think earth would be different? Because an imaginary Divinity decided to have fun one afternoon? You realise Terry Pratchett wasn't writing a text book?
@Joe Bloggs your opinion is they are not idiots. If they put a metal object into a live electrical socket 30 seconds after watching someone else being electrocuted they are idiots. There is a direct correlation.
@Joe Bloggs obviously you aren't the best of anyone. Barely adequate maybe, if we stretch definitions a bit.
Do you remember, before the Internet, it was thought that the cause of collective stupidity was the lack of access to information? Well... It wasn't.
One of the best comments I’ve seen in a while! I couldn’t have put it better myself. Good for you 👍
It is an actual lack of information. Those in authority and those with power and responsibility are more interested in censorship and calling dissenting opinions idiots etc etc etc. You cannot challenge and/or intellectually beat flat earthers with censorship, or calling them idiots. It is disrespectful and dangerous. People have the right to have "dumb and wrong" opinions. People have the right to an opinion. BUT the only reaction the "elite" have is censorship and persecution. That is the actual issue. Not that a small small minority of people want to believe silly/dumb/wrong things.
@@mrfreeman2911 That has to be one of the most idiotic comments I have seen in ages. Absolute rubbish.
@@PanglossDr lol. Great argument. So we censor flat earthers? Thereby reinforcing their believes and belief of persecution. Amazing idea.
@@mrfreeman2911 Have you got any idea how stupid your comments are? Please go learn what censorship is. Any comment containing the word you put in quotes will, almost by definition, be fatuous and ignorant.
It's easier to deceive a person than convince them they've been lied to.
We know, THat is why flerfs are so annoying.
wow... you are good at parroting sentences you don't even understand 😂
I once almost joined a cult, I certainly ain't a smart cookie with religion but I know well enough to sniff out BS, so when they were dropping beliefs that are so stupid I feel bad for the unfortunate people who fall for their traps because you can certainly tell a lot of them are good people but they were not educated enough to notice the BS. Certainly glad I stepped out after my first day, the level of being completely dumb to the facts and the level of ignorance for the truth is beyond belief. But that's what you get when cult leaders turn outsiders against you by saying everyone else is lying and trying to hurt you. You get people who will only share but won't debate.
@@ChefBuckeye The globe cult is the biggest in the world. Lol.
@@freedomdove can grab any cheap telescope and look at the moon and clearly see the perspective of the craters change as a result of the curvature that can only exist with a sphere, but all these american halfwits know different don't they
Here's something I once read that really stayed with me, "if you have a theory, no matter how ridiculous, you can find 'evidence' on the internet supporting it"
So true. The difference from conspiracy theories and real science is falsification. Meaning real science doesn't try to find proof that their theories are correct, rather that they're incorrect. If the research can't show any proof that the theory is incorrect, then it might be that the theory has been proven- UNTIL further research shows any different conclusion. So there's a humility built in the scientific method completely lacking in conspiracy theories
Yeah like how Russia stole the election from Hilary.
I have a theory that the moon is made of cheese. Oh hang on.....
The only thing Flat Earthers have to fear is a sphere itself.
lmao
the only thing flat earthers phear is phear itself
Wonderful.
inspired
Bravo.
I knew a guy in college who joined the Flat Earth Society back in the '80's on a lark, not because he thought the earth was flat but because he liked collecting their wacky literature. He said they used arguments such as: the surface of the water in this glass is flat, the ruler is flat, therefore the earth is flat. Then one day he was feeling down and I asked him what was wrong. He said he made the mistake of sending in his dues using a stamp with a picture of the globe on it, so they returned his payment and cancelled his membership.
That's quite sad because a relatively recent flat Earth Facebook group boasted that they had followers "all over the globe".
@@NewFalconerRecords No kidding
The flat earth society has no members as they are a troll group pushing garbage that no flat earther thinks
🤣🤣🤣
But the stamp was flat, what’s the problem? They think the Earth is round, just flat and round 😂
David Mitchell is absolutely correct, with everything he said. It’s great to hear someone telling it like it is.
Except that it turns out that all of mainstream media IS a lie
Groundbreaking stuff
No he isn't.. Nasa are liars
I went through school in the 70’s-80’s. There’d be a couple of students who couldn’t quite grasp certain concepts in earth science. It was OK though. They’d squeak by and live their lives, albeit not as rocket scientists. Now they find each other on the internet. They find validation for their lack of understanding, and then they embrace it. They’re told “you’re one of the smart ones, you always knew they were lying to you.” Facts don’t matter at that point, and yet another conspiracy theorist is born. Throw in the special feeling conspiracies can give ppl, along with the Dunning Kruger effect, and we have what we have. This is all just an unfortunate, yet understandable side effect of the internet. This is something we’re always going to have to deal with.
I loved it when P J O’Rourke said “Who’s idea was it to put every idiot in touch with every other idiot?”
@@MLB9000 lol, that’s so true
You make a fair point, and I mostly agree with you. I do have a nagging suspicion that its also a side effect of society not valuing people for who they are, and measuring everyone against the same arbitrary yardstick. Generations of people spilling out of schools where many people consider themselves stupid because their skills and qualities are not recognized by the teaching and grading process. If you think you are stupid, and you suddenly get told that you aren't, it kind of makes sense that you would want to maintain that feeling of validation. Then you go online and drop flat-earth 'truths' and get derided as an idiot. It's a targeted insult to someone who deep down believes it to be true. Doubling down most likely seems the least painful route to take at that point. I just wonder sometimes how much worse we make the problem by not responding to foolishness with compassion.
This exactly this. I am no mathematician and higher math completely eludes me. I however do not think that means that math doesn't exist. That is where they take this, anything they can't understand with their tiny brains must be a lie and part of a plot.
Nope. The world is flat carried on the back of 4 giant elephants which stand on the back of the giant space turtle Great A'tuin who swims through the vast ocean of space. Doesn't everyone know this?
You're right, but I don't believe the "Facts" they keep pushing on the Turtles gender. The Counterweight Continent is full of lies. A'tuin is female
@@GRAHFMETAL I'd be interested to hear what they have to say about this in Fourecks. According to globalists on the disc it doesn't exist as it doesn't fit their model! I'm sure the university in Bugarup would have something to say about that though. And maybe they have a different perspective on the turtle's gender. But what about the elephants? No one ever considers the elephants
Petition for Nasa to show us the space turtle
Bedtime stories used to be so much more creative. Still not asleep? Well I guess I'll put a turtle under the elephants.
My current favourite comment thread on KZhead. Keeping it real. Thanks for the work you do.
"And by people, I mean IDIOTS..." STARS, how I do sympathize...
@juan perez Try again in English, Pedro - muchas gracias, amiga y ir con el Diablo...
The only thing that flat-earthers have to fear is sphere itself.
You know you could perfectly replace flat earthers to anti vaccers and his arguments would still stand. 1:41
Stupidity is remarkably consistent.
"The Illusion of Evidence Based Medicine", published in the British Medical Journal, delves into the reasons for the mistrust. Spoiler alert: there have been decades of lies and deliberate censoring of legitimate facts in order to assuage the wealthy.
@@Cailus3542 you are right there - maybe switch of the telly and do some research rather than wasting time on childish mockery - research an seek the Truth
I completely agree - I call it the “village idiot” problem. I grew up in the age when the internet was going to educate the world. Instead it has given us the “village idiot” problem. When we lived in villages, everybody knew who the village idiot was and would ignore them. Unfortunately, the internet has allowed “village idiots” to form their own virtual village to get affirmation of their idiotic views from each other! It’s Dunning-Kruger meets Echo Chamber!
Remember the 1990s and how people said the internet would give us the "global village"? With it came the global village idiots.

David was holding back on this, have had the pleasure of witnessing a true Mitchellian rant that caustic and scathing paint was being stripped from the walls.
Thanks for posting.
Funniest part about this video is Clinton nodding in agreement when Graham said facts aren't what they used to be
She's as brutal a fact dealer as Mitchell behind closed doors but Americans thought it made her seem bitchy or shrill so she stopped doing it. Before she ran for office though she was on the warpath.
I love Graham... He's literally one of the talk show hosts who doesnt interrupt his guest while they tell their story.
Literally one of them.
It's because the whole thing is basically scripted. They've decided in advance what they're going to talk about so why would he interrupt them talking about the designated topic?
@@FortoFight either way...what i meant is that when compared to Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Ellen etc. We actually get to listen to what the guest have to say.
@@FortoFight All talk show hosts do that. That's why they call it the "pre-interview". Hosts that don't do that are usually a nightmare. I love Artie Lange, jebus dude, let your guest get a word in edgewise.
@@Gunman610 I didn't necessarily say it was bad, just pointed out that the whole conversation is scripted which is why Graham isn't interrupting.
"what happened to facts?" Graham Norton asked David Mitchell, and the camera quickly shifts over to HILLARY CLINTON nodding her head. HAHAHAHAHAHA
LOL! Yeah, she'd know all about that!!
Hahahah exaaactly
You guys are so triggered by even a glimpse of Hillary Clinton you try to make a video about flat earth about her instead. Funnily enough, the one she lost to created a society even more likely to believe dumb idiots that constantly lie. Now how many attended his inaugeration? FAKE NEWS. Sad.
I bet you think Neil Armstrong is a myth
Dying!! I thought that too!!
Listening to him speak just makes me miss Peep Show so much and hearing a great Corrigan rant!
That last line, "I'll tell you how we know, someone went up in a rocket, looked out of the window, and took a bloody photo"
It seems like someone forgot the funny??
Coolest fact about that: in response to the Apollo program’s first picture of the earth, the London branch of flat earth society decided to close its doors. That was in ‘69? Good to see people are getting more stupid over the years 🤣
English is a second language for me so sometimes I don't understand it when people use big words. But David Mitchell uses words that are just "big enough" to make his point and I will still be able to understand him. The guy's brilliant.
Your English is excellent.
Sometimes I miss the good old days, when the internet was only used by intellectuals and perverts.
Now it's also used by weirdos and more perverts
I've used the internet for years, now I'm trying to work out which of those two categories I fit into.
@Josh D thank you, that's put my mind at rest.
Well I'm no intellectual, but I agree
More often than not a combination of the two
People went up in a rocket, looked out of a window and took a bloody photo...😅😅😅

Love it when david mitchell rants about something hahaha
About anything!
The thing is that it's got to the point that pointing out the errors of Conspiracy Theorist claims immediately makes you 'one of them' in the eyes of the person you are talking to, it's the perfect way to pretend to be clever without actually requiring any logical thought....
I would love to have David Mitchell on my side in any debate. He is so good at it.
Watching him going on rants on different shows is really a joy to behold. This one was pretty tame is that respect.
I rant like this all the time, feel free to pop over for a cup of tea and listen
There are not many things in this world that are as satisfying as one of David Mitchell’s rants 🤣love him
This was quite tame in comparison though but still good
Tsuka 2104 I know, that was like being given a taste of it. 🤣
Especially the one about cheese.
He's really good at building momentum in his rants and carrying it through to a great punch line. He must have lots of inner monologues about this stuff all of the time in order to just spit them out like that.
@@mkuehter12 yeah I can’t imagine trying to have an argument with him 🤣🤣🤣
I think David Mitchell is brilliant, I love listening to his rants, although this was quite mild in comparison to others he has done.
Flat earthers. They have nothing to fear but sphere itself.
Around 200 bce Eratosthenes of Alexandria calculated the circumference of the Earth, watching shadows with rope and some fast camels. So people in the 2020 with Iphones are still late for some news.
Ah, erudition at last. Thank you, caballero.
bold of you to assume these people know actual history
The news had been out for thousands of years, and yet they still haven't got it, means that their gadgets were actually earlier, their "tablets" were actually made of sun-dried mud...
What were the camels for? All you need is vertical sticks an some way to measure a long distance in north south direction, ideally without tall mountains in-between.
@SS Antarctica WASN'T BANNED - pop "trips to the South Pole" into Google and, perhaps, EDUCATE YOURSELF. Just a suggestion but DEFINITELY one I would consider taking to heart, if I were you.
By 240 BC, Eratosthenes, with the difference of degrees between the shadows casted by two poles, one in Alexandria, one in Syene, not only proved a curvature that continued would make a circle, but also measured successfully the sphere we live at.
U ,here, gave Too much information to be processed by the "idiots' " brains.
Eratosthenes is one of the truths they integrated into their belief system. If you ask them how high their sun is they will normally state around 4 thousand miles. If you take Era's angles and place on a flat earth that's the height you get. Of course, if you take multiple sun angles (say from the timeanddate site) you'll find multiple heights and so falsify flat earth... But they don't care, they can just ignore you.
we dont live on a sphere mate, its impossible. also the light on the moon is not reflected sun light, sphere's dont reflect light, you learn that in school, a suface has to be flat or curved. So that means very basically that the moon is not what youve been told. (when you were 6 or 7) easy to take in lies then, like santa.
@@boomshanka4667 none of your arguments are real champ. If they were you would just use them instead of crying about your conspirat @rd narrative.

But anywho, take a gander, you may like the theory.
the irony of him saying 'you cant tell truth from lies' whilst sitting right next to hillary clinton is spot on
How can a Flat-Earther explain how their South Pole (or the complete Outer Rim Ice-Ring as they often call it) remains in Total Daylight for at least 11 weeks-a-year and the North Pole (or Central Hub) remains in Total Darkness during the same period - and vice versa, 6 months later.…
They can’t. Which is why they simply deny that this happens.
He's talking about those idiots who say "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so therefore it must not exist" To which you say: "Science says you have a brain inside your head, but since I've never seen it with my own eyes, it clearly must not be there..."

One guy went up in a rocket to prove the Earth was flat and died being stupid.
Well, Mad Mike wasn't really a flat earther. After his death his brother and agent both confirmed that he was just pretending to be so that flat earthers would contribute to his go fund me. He was just a guy who liked to fly in his rockets and was just a little too eager and didn't cancel the flight when they discovered the backup chute wasn't working. Turned out it was the first time he would have needed it too. I mean, of course it was a con. His rockets only flew about 1000 feet up. For a fraction of the price anyone could get on a plane and get a much better view.

Every time he says the word `lies` the Clintons clench.
Problem is people have redefined the word "lies" it now means "something I don't want to believe". Problem is the internet has given all of us, even those of us who feel we at least try to find the truth, our own tiny niches where we tell ourselves this is the true real world.

Sad part about communities like this is that the leaders don't need/likely don't believe the bs they spread, they just profit off it
They're no different to your average religion.

as a physics teacher i am laid low by the stupidity. I have had to contend with increasingly strange beliefs that people will angrily defend.
Keep your chin up. You're not alone!
It's the only way they can answer back, having no other facts!
As a physics teacher can you say that the flat eath theory is any weirder than the multiverse theory?
@@sandponics I am not a physichs teacher. Multiverse is based on our gaps in knowledge. It may be. Probably not. But at least it's consistent with what we know, so, if it were true, nothing we know would change. Flat earth conjecture is based on ignoring what we do know. It's inconsistent with what we know it works.
@@BlueFrenzy Consistent with what we know. The problem with that is that what we know with any significant certainty is virtually nothing.
Love this, David Mitchell at his finest. Yes, people that care more about how they feel than actual facts are incredibly moronic and it only serves to cause wide spread stupidity.
But the mainstream media he defends is largely responsible for feelings being given preference over objectively observable facts. Such as the supposed existence of several hundred genders, the "ability of males to give birth" etc etc. You don't get to choose which facts suit you.
@@alanjm1234 Media cater to the largest audience they can. More people watch soap operas than documentaries. You do the math.
..so you're obviously not in favour of the "transgender rights" movement then...
His finest? Derp
Which is ironic since he's sitting next to Hillary Rodham Clinton who used feelings as her only campaign stance in 2016
I adore him, but this wasn't a rant. Watch WILTY and you'll see a rant and the added pleasure of his interactions with Lee Mac. They're GOLD!!
How appropriate that HRC is sitting there cackling as they discuss fake news.

underrated comment
That skit with the turkey, from Peep Show (with Mitchell and Webb) still cracks me up, even after hundreds of times
Mummy! Omg 🤮🤮🤭
No turkey?!
The fact that Hilary Clinton is sitting there just makes really brings this home in a hilarious and very very very depressing way
Why depressing?
@@slBrelaz Trump has never told a funny joke or interesting anecdote in his life. He also doesn't care about anyone but himself, and he has nothing insightful to share about anything. Why would he deserve a spot on that couch? It would be depressing if Trump were there. It's not depressing that he's not.
@@YesPlease1 The reason it's depressing is that Trump's victory against Clinton happened because of what David is discussing - in a world where facts were still widely accepted the only people who'd have voted for him would be people who thought his insanity would personally help them (ie bankers, stock market traders, racists, etc) and even they would've privately admitted that he's a deranged moron.
@@ColinGLogan change trump to hillary.
yesplease ..you brainless lefty twit..
I do love his rants highly comical and entertaining especially aimed at Lee Mack and other WILTY members 👍👍👍
"By people I mean idiots"
"Facts aren't what they once were." **Cuts to Hillary Clinton**
Facts to Hillary Clinton, are what a crucifix and garlic are to a vampire.
@@pauljackson2409 Says the Trumpist? If so, you are a step below a flat-earther. Flat-earthers are at least harmless. Trumpists will destroy America in another generation.
And if you're American and voted for Trump instead of Hillary, then you owe the WORLD a huge apology.
@@Finians_Mancave Ha Ha! I guess you're backing senile kiddie-groper Biden, in November. There's no fixing stupid!🙄

I remember back when we used to say the earth is flat just to troll people. Those were the days :(

Hey, Biggus! How is Incontinentia doing?
@@blairbuskirk5460 Romane i domum or Romani ite domum. Jeez, do it right or just don't do it.
If you repeat a lie long enough and loud enough, people will believe it. Paraphrased, but, sadly, true.
They still are trolling people, it's just a club that they enjoy belonging to, where they all prop each other up so much in their fantasy that they forget who started it.
The comments are hilarious and proves Davids points. The ones made when this was first posted are in agreement to the idiots believing anything on "other" websites to now where the crazies are now running the asylum
Perhaps the photo was taken from directly about the centre of the disc 🤔 😂 🌍
Check out “The Emperor’s Coloured Coat” a WW1 adventure novel. The hero, an Austrian submarine commander (yes, really), meets a flat earther. He spends nearly TWO CHAPTERS trying to tell him you can’t navigate that way - nothing penetrates. One of the best explications of the madness.
It's an adventure novel. It's not real. Have you ever done any real research, or do you just go by that bearded little dweeb and a fiction book?
@@truck5050 The chapters cited are almost word for word real flat Earth nonsense.
@@truck5050 The OP didn't claim the book was a real story.
In fact,@@hoodatdondar2664 specifically said it was an adventure novel, then you berate him for not mentioning the book to be an adventure novel. Have you ever done any real research, or are you a flerfer?
I have watched this ten times and I’m still giggling!
0:37 I like how Jamie listened and engrossed to what David said
"And by people I mean idiots" - they should lessen the censorship and start using this phrase everywhere now, even politics. 👍🏻
Flat Earthers: That’s PhotoShop, I see the pixels!
is this what Specsavers does to you
...And yet, they're oblivious to the fact that, when they show us their flat earth maps, we can all clearly see the crayon. 😁

Graham has the intelligence, class and patience to let his guests do their thing. He asks his questions, then doesn't interrupt. The like of which hasn't been seen since Carson (and maybe Leno and Letterman).
And Bill Moyers .and John Dickerson
“Fascinating points about the accuracy of online facts, David. Hillary Clinton, any thoughts?”
it is not the internet ... it is education and lack of teaching of critical thinking skills
I also thought that Graham was saying “fax” 🤦🏻♀️ thought David must have really struggling for content for a moment there haha
David Mitchell never has to struggle for content. He's good for a hilarious rant on just about anything. And he's good with word play too.

Hence the reason so many people fall for ridiculous conspiracy theories like flat Earth :-)
@@yazzamx6380 or the conspiracy theory of evolution 🤣 imagine anybody believed we evolved from fish 😂🤣😂
@@gordygreen7159 - So can you say which version of a flat Earth you believe please? Because there are many versions to choose from, i.e. dome or no dome? Edge (finite plane) or no edge (infinite plane)? More land and seas beyond the ice wall? Pillars or no pillars? Gravity or no gravity? Globe sun and moon or flat sun and moon? Rahu and Ketu, or just the moon? etc. That way any claims you make will be in context of your flat Earth version.
@@yazzamx6380 What I believe is irrelevant to this, in this reality I know so many people still believe in magic spinning balls and that's why I get richer every time I play poker, I'm relying on this stupidity to be sustained, I am relying on people to believe anything they are told, last thing I'd do is educate the masses. I think the W.h.o and UN might be able to answer since they both have flat earth as their logo, why ask me? I'm just a guy who mocks empty heads.
@@gordygreen7159 - You said "What I believe is irrelevant to this" Wrong, hence you are the only person demonstrating stupidity here. If a convex Earth believer arrives here claiming "You're ALL wrong, the Earth is convex!" then it would be CORRECT to ask that person to describe the convex Earth model that he/she believes, and therefore to defend the model he/she believes. For you to suggest you can just claim the Earth is flat but you don't need to describe which flat Earth model you believe is laughably naïve, especially coming from someone claiming to be so talented in poker :-) You said "I think the W.h.o and UN might be able to answer since they both have flat earth as their logo," Except they don't. They use a silhouette of the Azimuthal Equidistant map, known to many flat Earth believers as the Gleason map, which is NOT an accurate map of a flat Earth since (like ALL flat maps of the Earth) it is distorted. The fact that you think the AE/Gleason map is an accurate flat map of a flat Earth says it all, my empty headed friend :-)
Sort comments by "newest" to find the flat-earthers 😂
