Memes for Ants (& Eye’s Most Still Enjoyed Thread)

I think it's also something for people suffering from the Dunning Kruger effect to feel better about themselves and get some kind of confirmation bias that they're higher above the average than they actually are. Lol look at all these flat earthers. Me so smart.

So people on both sides are driving this thing.

I think the vast majority of flat-earthers are just trolls who don't actually believe that. I have an old roommate who jumped on that trend but I know him well enough to know he's way too intelligent to believe that, but he loves arguing with people.

There's plenty to argue about without dipping into that kind of absurdity.

True, but as far as troll bait goes this is really low-hanging fruit. If I wanted to rile up some people into wasting a chunk of the day typing up a wall of text in comment sections that would be an easy one to turn to.

A lot of the big names in the flat earth community are definitely grifters taking advantage of stupid people.

But there are alot of true believers and there is a very high correlation between flat earth belief and creationist fundamentalism

You know, that sort of makes sense when you put it that way. Some passages in the bible like the Noah's Ark story talk about how the Earth was flat I think? Also I didn't mean to make it sound like these people don't exist, just that a lot of people who claim to be flat-earthers are just doing it for fun.

Middle-Earth did used to be flat though. Until the end of the second age.

They also quote the genesis creation story about the creation of the sky and land and mention of the firmament among other things.

This was shared in a group on FB and lots of people have been texting this guy hilarious stuff because of the phone number not being edited out. Mostly jokes involving coke cans or something about Sara. Part of me wonders if this is super smart chess player Ryan lol.

My favorite comment so far has been: When "report junk" has multiple interpretations.
