Flerfers. Flat Earthers for those who didn't know. Is this a real thing? It seems lately, the almighty algorithm has decided I need to know all about these people who allegedly believe the earth is flat. I can't tell if it's all a big joke, or are these people for real? There seems to be a lot of it and it doesn't appear to be satire.

I mean, I'm not even basing my opinion on the subject on anything from NASA (who they claim lie about everything), or any science (who they say is all fake), or really any source in particular. I mean, I've been on an airplane. You can literally see the curvature of the earth. They probably have some explanation for that like all the windows are fisheye lenses or something, but I've stood on mountain tops high enough to see it too. It seems so stupid, but they have dug their heels in so deep on the subject.

I'm surprised at how much of this stuff there is about this. It's all over YouTube and Facebook. On both sides. There are the flerfers themselves posting stuff, but then there are successful channels dedicated solely to debunking the flerfers. And not in small numbers. There are channels with hundreds of thousands of subscribers watching this shit constantly.

So what say you Backstage? Have you all been duped into believing the earth is round or what's going on with this?

Nah, it's all a big satirical joke!

Now the real one you have to give credence to is that Bird's aren't real. They are listening devices used by the Government to listen to all of conversations. Go look it up...and DONT SAY ANYTHING AROUND THE BIRDS!!!

Yeah, because it's not like we've all got an electronic device on us all the time that has a microphone, camera and GPS built in. I'm sure it's more likely the gubment faked the existence of birds rather than just use those devices. :laugh2:

You see that would be obvious! No one would expect a bird. See the proof below.

I'd like to say "There's no way that those people actually believe that shit, they're just saying it for attention".


But then five minutes on X shows that yes, people really will believe absolutely anything at all.

Started as a troll, and useful idiots took it up a notch.

The Final Experiment was a 2024 expedition to Antarctica to test the validity of modern flat Earth beliefs. It marked the first time that any modern flat Earth proponents have traveled to Antarctica.

The expedition, which took three years of preparation, was organized by Will Duffy, an American Christian pastor who invited a total of forty-eight online content creators to Antarctica to witness the midnight sun, a natural phenomenon which contradicts most flat Earth beliefs. The actual expedition included both flat Earthers and "globe Earthers" (people who accept the spherical shape of the Earth), selected to represent both sides of the flat Earth debate.

After traveling from Chile to Union Glacier Camp in West Antarctica, expedition members livestreamed the midnight sun for several days. The participating flat Earthers all admitted that the midnight sun was a real phenomenon. The larger flat Earth community has largely rejected the results and accused the participants, including the flat Earthers, of having faked the expedition and of being part of a larger conspiracy to promote the spherical Earth model.

Yep, yep... they were all in on it and they weren't real believers!
