The Onion and other satire w/ layers

This is excellent! An appropriate response to the flat earth silliness.

For instance, what’s the tallest supposed mountain on Earth? Everest. Except it isn’t. The name is a giveaway; it’s clearly a morphing of “never rest”, because if you wanted to go to the biggest mountain you’d literally never rest, because it isn’t actually there. What about all those people who have climbed it, you say? Well, consider all the people who have died supposedly doing so. How do you die climbing something that isn’t there? You can’t. They were obviously killed to protect the conspiracy, whereas those who “survived” were willing to play ball.

When I was in high school and found a Flat Earth Society chat room, which at that time was entirely just a joke like the "birds aren't real" thing. Going along with the joke I explained how earth could be flat the same way educational things describe gravity by showing space as a fabric and masses as weights dragging the sheet down.

If space is a fabric and it is "flat," and Earth is part of that fabric of space time, then it must also be flat. However, because it is like a sheet, maybe it's balled up so the flat sheet is making a round earth. 😏

Speaking of blowin' up the world, how about that thumbnail pic?

I'll allow it

Rapper… stop right there. Ah the onion lol
