The joke is the absurdity of a flat earth and making puns like "all around the globe" in that context and creating absurdist proof that the Earth is flat despite everyone knowing since kindergarten that it isn't.

But some people started taking it too seriously.

It is flat, you just don't see it. Gravity curves space/time into a globe.

Wait a second. Gravity doesn't exist! The flat earth is constantly accelerating! You're one of THEM!

Actually no, gravity is the behaviour we see due to warped space/time, caused by the earth's mass. Just like it causes light to bend.
