World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic Patch 4.4.0 Notes
Realm Restarts Scheduled — Wednesday May 1
Blizzard must stop introducing neutral races immediately
MMO-Champion
It seems that for a few weeks over the festive season, social networking sites, forums and YouTube were overrun with conspiracy obsessed pseudo-scientists proclaiming their irrefutable evidence that the earth was in fact flat, the sun was only a few miles up in the sky and that the entire universe revolved around us.
Where did they all go? Did they suddenly begin to see the flaws in their own argument? Maybe NASA had them 'taken care of' before the big secret finally got taken seriously.

This. Last week a crazy rapper spouted some bullshit which brought them out further, but thankfully they retreated again to their caves. Why would you even care, I'm glad they are back in their holes.

actually, flat earthers are nice. It's fun to watch youtube videos debunking their shit and making fun of them.

They are right here. It's good for some laughs if you're bored.

Probably lots of trolls trolling people with the flat Earth thing who went away after everyone lost interest.

This is a thing? I didn't know this was a thing. How intensely interesting.
Wow, this is giving me some good ideas. Originally Posted by ghotihook

They are there as much as always. Media (mass and social) only brings them up every couple of years when there isn't much else to talk about.

From a thread debunking the earth is a rotating sphere: Originally Posted by RapBreon

In the few seconds it took to send and receive (about 4 approx), the Earth should have spun away from this rebounded beam by just under half a mile or so.
Anyway I don't suppose silly things like that matter in the world of loser beams to the muwn.
I'll have a look in the cupboard to see if I have a muwn laser to try out.

He's anti-science, so I expect his supporters are likely the sort of people that are as well, hence equating him with flat Earthers. Originally Posted by Humbugged

While I agree a lot of it sounds Looney Tunes as fuck, there must be a kernel of rationality (there always is) that drives it. I suspect it would take some considerable effort to uncover though. Originally Posted by Humbugged
