The flat earth.

[Light Dependant Resistor]

Some interesting facts are that the earth is not a perfect sphere, The Equator being bulged out 43km wider vs the pole to pole diameter.
There is also time difference - time moving more slowly at the equator, but requiring atomic clocks at each location to measure the tiny difference.

Are they genuine or just being (post?) ironic like the Jedi Knights in the 2001/11 censuses?

No different to God or audiophile fuses really

If in spite of insurmountable evidence to the contrary people are happy to believe what's the problem?

not sure there is insurmountable evidence there is no god.... or for that matter that fuses dont work either.

Not easy to prove a negative though...

I think its syndrome where people like to get noticed for being bloody minded about something. They havent achieved much in life and this is their chance to stand out. it gives them a twisted sense of purpose and they feel that people are forced to listen to them because its so crazy. (normally they would just be ignored)

I really dont understand it but its somewhere on the scale of mental illness.

Saying the earth is flat is way beyond ridiculous. Im starting to think much of the world is mad when you consider organised religion. I just point them at the dinosaur bones which must have been a trial run.

I like the idea of a good conspiracy theory but most of them are just Cuckoo

I think Im actually quite sane in a mad world. They are all trying to drive me round the bend but I fight it for all Im worth. Maybe this is just the matrix and the real me is plugged into a holding tank

What about all those ships that disappear every year, only one explanation really....

[Macca]

Aliens, that is.

[AJSki2fly]

so.....

People actually believe the earth is flat, in fact it appears there are more people believing it now than for centuries, why? It's ridiculous isn't it?

I'm not sure if it's just one big well orchestrated joke, or a symptom of some mass delusion to make a section of society feel relevant, maybe even important.

I'd happily stick my neck out and say no one here is in any doubt, are they?

Of course the earth is flat or I’d fall over all the time.

I used to fall over all the time... Amazing coincidence
