Yep, that's what I thought.
These flat-earth explanations just keep getting stranger.
Incidentally, there's also a publishing house dedicated to putting out flat-earth propaganda/bizarre conspiracy theories, including this.
Do you ever sit and scratch your head and wonder how some people can become so avowedly anti-intellectual and anti-authority that they'd believe literally anything?
Doesn't help that we have a political party that encourages and courts anti-intellectualism as well as science denial.
I'm a Brit, so our political parties generally support different varieties of foolishness - generally; there's one UK party (the Irish DUP) where at least some members believe that Young Earth Creationism should be taught in schools (I only used U.S. Amazon, because I don't want U.K. Amazon storing it under things I've recently browsed). That said, we Brits have plenty of science-denying anti-intellectuals.
