Thanks Blockers for the off topic clearance.

Remember that mega thread years ago about the Moon landings, Methven was getting hammered from all sides for his denial the landings ever happened…I think the thread made the classics section at one point.

Anyway, I was on a few Youtube channels a while back reading comments about the same thing etc when I stumbled onto what has become a bit of an obsession with me….

FLAT EARTH…..yep, it’s still a thing, I had no idea except for maybe a few nut job conspiracy theorists over the years but no, it’s a major thing & growing all the time, there are hundreds if not thousands of people who believe the Earth is flat…..well, I was hooked, subscribing to channels left right & centre, I was(still am)reading & watching everything I could that these people (Flatards) & what I call normal people(Globists)post on Youtube.

There was even a flat Earth rally in Sheffield a week or so ago, in’t Peace Gardens, there’s a video of it…….this is where my warning comes in though, if you get hooked on this subject as I and many hundreds of others have it gets a bit mental, I’ve gone through many phases over the months trying to work out where these people are coming from, I think I’ve got it now but I’ve wasted hours on it…some I’ve read about have lost their families over it, others their friends….it seems totally mad at first but delve into it deep enough & you find it IS mad but more than that it very very sad.

So I guess I’m reluctantly asking if we have any flat Earthers(Flerfers) in our midst….anyone want to ‘debate’ the issue…..I’ll save other stuff until or if there’s an interest in this on here.

One thing I will say that’s positive & that’s I’ve learnt a hell of a lot about our planet, orbital mechanics, gravity, Earth curvature calculators etc etc etc that I would never have really known about but for this.
