That’s down to tailwinds. No, seriously - the only acknowledgement I’ve seen from flat Earthers that the distances (and thus travel times) between continents in their model would be significantly more, involved waving it away with tailwinds that make the planes and ships much faster. Which somehow work for both East-West travel and West-East travel. And make vehicles go ten times faster (or whatever the distance difference actually is). I guess that’s why planes and ships use the longest possible route, rather than just going straight North to go from Australia to South America or South Africa, which would be the shortest (even though it would almost be equivalent to a round-the-world trip on a globe…).

Dude #1 has been in so many of these clips I’m sure he must know who the Good Liars guys are by now, and he’s just doing it for the lulz. Or he’s a corollary to Hanlon’s razor.

So. Much. Wrong. You can tell them their personal problems are global, but nope. They won’t accept that. Just because “global” must be a fake word.

Flat-MAGAs could only be converted if Trump, upon being questioned, said the Earth was round. It would be interesting if Trump was asked to share his thoughts about people who believed otherwise, and he said, “They’re idiots. They’re morons.” Flat-MAGA’s response to that would be even more interesting.

They absolutely would flip in a heartbeat if Trump told them to. Republicans don’t even have convictions or values of their own any longer, no matter how twisted. They believe whatever Trump tells them to believe. Though I suppose it would be a toss-up between the ones who said “he’s right, it’s round” and “he’s right, we’re morons”, both would be uttered with the same worshipful obedience.

Pratchett’s writing is just so good that you can fall into it. I’m audiobooking his entire Discworld set right now, although I will likely stop where I stopped reading - just before the final book.

That phrase, “…charivari of strange greases and worrying textures…” is both poetic and disgusting. :chef-kiss:

And they don’t worry if the merch makes no sense, or makes mistakes that normal people might find embarrassing.

Edit: Yeah, that was a lousy joke. I’m not removing it, for the sake of record, but… yeah. Sorry about that.
A trans cow?

No one believes in only a single conspiracy theory. Setting aside your critical thinking and championing ignorance opens the flood gates for all sorts of nonsense.

Raising Steam? It was good but don’t get the sad part but every book hits people different. Snuff, the one before, I found multiple sad parts though.
