     @chjara Though I also think it's especially different now since we at least have photographic proof of the Earth's shape and such. At least in the 1800s it's easier for a common person to feel like it's not "as settled" if that makes sense

     @chjara Dan Olsen conjectured that modern Flat Earth is instead the result of 00's and later content recommendation systems on platforms like YouTube.

     @aismallard the modern resurgence yes, but the movement and ideas originate in the 1850s to early 1900s

     like the ancient greeks figured out not only that the earth is spherical but also its circumference and diameter to a high precision over 2000 years ago
     western flat earthers are only a 19th to 20th century phenomenon

     flat earth is a really really recent phenomenon actually
     which is pretty strange
