I mean maybe it makes sense if it uses all ages but if its 10% of adults who are not experiencing dementia. ugh.
I highly recommend the documentary Behind The Curve. It's both hilarious and frustrating in equal measure, since it charts the antics of the flat earther movement (mostly on America, but these people are all over the globe, sadly).
The hilarious part is how these people keep doing experiments throughout the documentary to prove the world is flat, and their experiments keep coming back showing it's a globe. But they just double down and assume they did something wrong.
It's a fascinating insight into mad delusion, and has some great examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Although some flat Earth believers have been active in politics, there's no evidence of an organized flat-earther movement in U.S. politics, political experts told USA TODAY.
Good job, headline writer.
When ships sail over the horizon, they disappear bottom first. To argue with these people, you have to use their level of intelligence, and they'll beat you with experience.
If you hold a flashlight under a desk and then raise it, the whole table lights up at once.
lol it’s the US. Who cares anymore. Signed, the world
The US is losing its mind and it has thousands of nuclear weapons.
Nevada attacking DC, sounds like a solution, brutal, but hey.
