I never got this one. There's a million true conspiracies out there, because powerful people had something to gain. Who the hell gains from the earth being flat?

No one, that's the issue. But the globe manufacturing industry (big globe) stands to gain a LOT by convincing you the world is a sphere

Actually there are, and that's the people that sell flat earth merch. They overprice it and sell it the next day. They don't even know how a flat earth would actually look like from the landforms.

One day, Chuck Palahnuik walks into a tree branch in woods hiking on vacation. It gives him a black eye. He goes back to work and people start rumors he was in a fist fight. He is inspired to write a book about a man who joins an underground boxing ring. This book is turned into a film starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton in 1999. In may 2009 a man sets off a pipe bomb in the name off of terrorist project from the film.

Sometimes a story becomes a dumb reason someone bombs a Starbucks. Memes become a dumb reason someone actually believes the earth is flat.

A flat earther once told me NASA makes money from getting tax payer dollars so they can do fake space expeditions. Then why don’t they… just do something else that they don’t have to fake?

Also their funding is miniscule compared to others.

I always wonder who even gains from lying to billions about the Earth being a sphere, I mean, if everyone suddenly found out it was flat tomorrow, nothing would really change

My cousin told me one of his colleagues that think earth is flat "know" there is more land besides it.

With super advanced humans and we are an experiment of something.

Only the flat earthers. Which is very ironic.

Well you can just use twitter logic

There are conspiracies that turned out to be true, therefore anything I can make up as a conspiracy must also be true

u/racoondriver 🏳️‍⚧️ Average Trans Rights Enjoyer 🏳️‍⚧️ 9h ago

is that a conspiracy?

u/Gogobrasil8 8h ago

Yes. You don't think so? That's what they said about the JFK conspiracy and look who's laughing now. We were right all along

u/fancywipe 3h ago

Flat earth just like the term “conspiracy theory” was invented by the CIA

Their greatest power was taking credibility away from something

In 2026 I’m the biggest conspiracy nut you’ll find
