I used to laugh at debunking subreddits, then I tried reading a flat earth thread with an open mind
For two years I rolled my eyes at people who bothered arguing with flat earth folks online, figured it was a waste of energy. Last weekend I sat down with two tabs open, one a flat earth forum thread about the Chicago skyline, the other a debunking breakdown of that same photo, and read both cover to cover. The debunkers showed the math on curvature, cited a survey from 2018, and linked the actual photo source, while the other side just kept posting memes and calling people shills. That difference in how they handled a simple question about water level in Toronto is what got me. Has anyone else gone down one of these rabbit holes and come out the other side thinking the boring answer usually wins?
