   I'm not a flat earther, but I'm tired of globe earthers using appeal to authority to debunk flat earth.

     @ItsSkyDragonz I believe the Earth is round, but most people who attempt to debunk flat earth, always use the "appeal to authority" fallacy or are just dismissive of conspiracies in general.

     @xianc78 Flat earth isnt a conspiracy theory to me, its just one of those theories so absurd and easy to disprove it doesnt really need to be repeatedly disproved. Considering it a valid theory in any sense makes every other theory like "hey are politicians raping kids?" Get dumbed down to its level.
     
     Kinda like this: a dude comes up to you and tells you we all live in a big dome, truman show style. Now the reasonable thing is to call him a tweaker and walk away. Or maybe you listen to him to see why he acts like this, then you tell him hes not
