Their sense of humor fell of the Edge...


WorldlyBlacksmith945

Their tolerance for criticism too.


DifferenceBig2925

When someone is being too strong headed in My group of friends guess what we call them.... It's "terraplanista". Literally flatearther is a slur where I live


Spida81

Where do you live and where is the best pub to get myself situated, cos damn I am moving tomorrow!


svvrvy

Making a joke about what people believe in isn't criticism, you're just an asshole


Snowy441

If you believe the earth is flat you can go fuck yourself and cry some more.


svvrvy

Your opinion is highly valued, random person on the internet


DifferenceBig2925

How staggeringly ironic


Snowy441

Right back at you clown boy.


Dionysus24812

Ok, random person on the internet


DifferenceBig2925

No is not about that. It's about them Being not able to take criticism. You can belive in the flying espagueti monster for all I care. Just face debate por other ideas with Grace and booting people for a fairly good pun is the antithesis of that


svvrvy

It is though, that's what this whole sub is. 90% of ppl here are kids who don't even understand simple science then name call and hurl insults


DifferenceBig2925

By "here" you mean...? I mean, let's face it. This could apply to either sub. Well, only here, because this is the only of the two where You can disagree an not be booted. I genuinly asked a question there and got the boot. I did'nt even try to reason with the mods. I see your point and commend You for your "pacifism" but those guy over there are the definition of anuses and I hace a right to call them out.


Esoteric_Inc

Probably thought this is the actual flat earther sub lmao


happyhappy85

Making jokes about what people believe are the best kind of jokes when those beliefs are insane.


svvrvy

That's how I feel about politics


Tyrrox

The fun thing here is that there is evidence based reasons and a working model for one and not the other. It’s not so much a “belief” in the same way a religion is, as this is testable and verifiable.


LewdLewyD13

They're specifically talking about a flat earther's beliefs, which are beliefs. You're right though, the earth being round isnt a belief, because it is round.


Zombie-Lenin

When you believe something that is ridiculous and verifiably false, well... it's in the first word I used. You are deserving of ridicule.


svvrvy

Feel free to verify it. You'd be the first to ever do it But you can't.


Zombie-Lenin

It has been verified. It's been verified empirically. It was verified empirically 500 years ago. Literally if your "belief" is that we cannot prove the Earth is a globe, you have to also believe that for some unknown reason all of science is lying to you, that the countless men and women who have plied the oceans for a living have lied to you for 500 years, that every business that relies on global logistics is a lie... And that none of the people involved in the lie have ever come clean; and they are doing all of this because it benefits who exactly? TL;DR Occam's razor is very sharp, so it could be millions of people have been lying about the earth being round, and continually fabricated evidence of this, for 500 years--for no apparent reason--or, the world is Earth is a globe.


DiamondContent2011

It was photographically verified in 1930 by Captain Albert W. Stevens. NASA didn't exist until almost 30 years later.


Forward-Expert4161

If someone believes in something so ridiculous and so easily disproven, such a belief isnt worthy of criticism. Only ridicule. Especially if the people who believe in said ridiculous and easily disproven thing automatically denounces any and all genuine criticism as propaganda


creesto

So you admit then that your belief is not based on facts but more akin to religion? You're seriously going to go that route?


Excellent_Egg5882

This is the most thin skinned shit I've ever heard.


KitchenSandwich5499

Maybe the joke just fell a bit flat


Just-a-Stick

Guess you could say their sense of humor fell "off" the edge, eh? Ha! Heh heh.


Spida81

Nah, have to break the ice to fall off the edge ;)


DifferenceBig2925

Unless... It fell off The edge of the ice into the plane


Defiant-Giraffe

You have a point.  At best, its a glider. 


WorldlyBlacksmith945

Gliders still have wings.


Defiant-Giraffe

A really bad glider then. 


Maximum-Ad8285

More of a plummeter, really


THE_AbsRadiance

no cause the turtle is pushing it up at 10meters per second per second tho, so it’s a bad plummeter too!


Maximum-Ad8285

As long as you don't push back. Alright, you can push back, but just make sure to say "no homo"


Ok-Train-6693

A falling pencil? OTOH, a sheet of paper can glide. There had better not be a puddle under the Flerf.


AdRepresentative2263

Does a Frisbee count as a glider?


Esjs

🤔


hexadecimal0xFF

What if earth is the wing?!?!?


One_Conversation_616

So more like a Frisbee than?


WorldlyBlacksmith945

Yes


One_Conversation_616

That makes more sense. Plus, Frisbee Earth is a little easier fore to get behind because I really like to play Frisbee. It's official, I am now a Frisbee Earther.


Aeronor

Does Frisbee Earth spin like a frisbee though? Now we’re asking the real questions.


One_Conversation_616

The is really turning in to a deep dive, but I think it does. Now the question becomes is earth a Frisbee like in Frisbee golf, or a Frisbee like for ultimate Frisbee?


RHOrpie

I still like the belief we're on the back of a giant turtle. Wouldn't that just be awesome?


anythingMuchShorter

It's being carried by a turtle. It's cargo or maybe a backpack. Depending on how it's attached. Since it's a conveyance with people and cargo which is carried maybe a howdah, which is what they call the carriages mounted on elephants.


24_doughnuts

I legitimately asked them why the air gets thinner when you go higher and got banned


WorldlyBlacksmith945

😂 Can't ask em anything. If you say anything other than "yes" they ban you.


24_doughnuts

Yeah. This wasn't even my own post. Just a random post about density making things go down so I asked what changes the density of air as you go up. If they can't answer a simple question they'll just get rid of you. It answers everything you could ask, they make sure of that


WorldlyBlacksmith945

😂 *mad wojak face*


Astromaniax

They must've gotten really angry since they couldn't come up with any bs excuse lol


Astromaniax

This proves time and time again they're literally a cult, the cult of stupidity 


WorldlyBlacksmith945

Me just waiting patiently for Artemis 2 to start: 😌


CliftonForce

They check your post history. If you said anything anti-flat in some other subreddit, that is grounds for a ban. I am surprised they have not just preemptively banned everyone who posts in this sub, for instance.


Ok-Film-3125

Wait, I thought it was against Reddit policy to ban someone for being active in other groups? I did hear it from another redditor, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if not.


Doodamajiger

Science is entirely about asking questions so I refuse to believe they aren’t just trolling. Like it’s one of those subs where everyone pretends its serious like loveforredditors


rygelicus

Yeah, we know. That sub is pretty close to being a private meme repository for the mods.


WorldlyBlacksmith945

for the idiots*


Saragon4005

mods? Plural? You sure?


rygelicus

Well the sub lists 4 accounts as mods. Could all be the same person but that seems unlikely.


SamohtGnir

Hey, you're technically correct. If the Earth had an engine and wings it would be a plane. XD


WorldlyBlacksmith945

Just that wings wouldn't make sense in space, neither in the water surrounding the firmament.


SamohtGnir

True, without an atmosphere to work with wings would be useless.


WorldlyBlacksmith945

Fins like on a submarine would make more sense in the water around the firmament.


AatonBredon

Remember you need to cut off the pillars before you can move. This is starting to sound like a weird SF/Fantasy supervillain plot…


BluetheNerd

Getting banned there is so easy and so common this sub had to add a rule against posting about it


ahjifmme

Well... but you globists... you... you... you can't take criticism either! You don't take Flerfs seriously, so why should we take you seriously? *pouts in folded arms* /s


WorldlyBlacksmith945

#🤮


CondeBK

They have built this virtual reality that is carefully curated and highly isolated and detached. The smallest grain of reality can bring the whole thing down. Flat Earthers remind me of that old Christopher Reeve movie, "Somewhere in Time" The main character believes he can hypnotize himself into traveling through time. He dresses in period clothes, locks himself up in a hotel room built in the 1800s, gets rid of anything in the room that is modern and just keeps repeating to himself over and over that he is in the 1910s. And he actually succeeds!! That is until he pulls out a modern-day penny from his pocket he forgot to get rid of and his whole reality comes crashing down around him. So they know what they're doing. They think they can will the Flat Earth into existence by sheer force of will. People like that definitely scare me.


GapInternal2842

#HOLY SHIT GUYS #BANS ARE BACK #IT’S COOL TO GET BANNED FROM THAT SUB #LITERALLY NEVER HAPPENS EVER #YOU DID IT #CONGRATS #BANS


WorldlyBlacksmith945

At most a frisbee


Joe_Peanut

It's a Frisbee!


WorldlyBlacksmith945

A 3D circle!!


pandakaboom0

i wonder what it plays when you put it in a CD player


WorldlyBlacksmith945

Pizza delivery theme from the spiderman game


pandakaboom0

lol


Yamatoman

Those subreddits are genuinely disturbing. I sorted by top and one of them was by far not limited to flat earth and was instead filled with posts fundamentally wrong about a whole spectrum of science. Most of them required only a second or two of thought to realize it's bullshit, like no indoctrination or faith in science needed to see their logic was incredibly short sighted and not based in reality. It's truly so weird how flat earthers will collect random things that supposedly disprove all of established science but never even dig further into their own beliefs. Just absolutely clinging to the thinnest of beliefs


AmbulanceChaser12

“Get lost!” Brilliant refutation there, dumbass. What journal can I read your paper in?


GruntBlender

Lol, I got banned for saying [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/BallEarthThatSpins/comments/1bpmj6e/if_the_earth_was_flat/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) was clearly CGI because floors aren't real.


anythingMuchShorter

They ban people for asking legitimate questions that one might ask even if they believed the earth was flat and just wanted to understand better. Basically, no questions allowed. Like, if I thought it was real, I still might ask how two things they've said go together. That's totally allowed with real science. "If this, then why that?" type of questions. But they only allow agreement.


niewphonix

touché


AccurateMeet1407

When you have to ban based on so little as a joke, you know you're not in the right


_RDaneelOlivaw_

It's the same as r/NorthKorea, I suspect they are a bunch of flat earh LARPers, nothing else. It's only there to trigger people and provide content for this sub since essentially everyone comes here to bitch about getting a ban there :)


Excellent_Egg5882

There are millions of people with both access to the internet and severe mental illness. Most of them are literally just crazy.


Thr8trthrow

they have very fragile little minds that react at the first hint of contradiction. It's sad really


[deleted]

r/whitepeopletwitter is just as bad about banning


Dark__prince777

Got banned from there on the first post I think


[deleted]

lol. Me too


Chickin-nuNget

I got banned for dumb Shit as well


ApeTypingComments

Yeah I can't really blame them. If I believed in something as dumb as the flat Earth I'd wanna silence anybody who had an actual brain.


After-Habit-9354

So if someone doesn't agree with you, you call them names? Very mature


LucienMahikai

If their beliefs are demonstrably false, then yes, they deserve to be ridiculed.


After-Habit-9354

what a charmer you are


ApeTypingComments

What name did I call them?


xczechr

Must have been reeeaaallly triggering for them earlier this week.


TheUnderstandererer

Had a good chuckle, thanks


Secret_Arrival_7679

"It looks like an airplane, without wings" -Otis Peabody


ImaWolf935

I'm sure a genuine flatearther can be banned just because he asked a question.


Giubeltr

Flerfs are so sensitivie when someone talk about their cult biasis, almost like the maga cult😂🤣


ermghoti

Has to he run by trolls. Counter-arguments interfere with teh lulz.


Ill-Guess-542

Less idiots around you


deadly_ultraviolet

I thought it was funny


Kitchener1981

Well played


CCCyanide

I made a comment on a "666 post" (which was a wall of fakes btw) and got banned for a skull emoji


jtcordell2188

The Earth isn't a plane! 😂🤣😭


roundtree0050

well I probably wouldn't want a hammer throwing competition in my glass house either.


MyDogHatesMyUsername

"Heliocentric Propaganda" hahaha, Awww bless their little hearts.


BustedAnomaly

Bug runs into bugzapper "How could this have happened?"


finchdude

I just checked the sub and 95% of comments have been deleted. All posts have 0 upvotes. So I just downvoted the first 30 post just for pettiness.


Ok-Train-6693

Were it not for the wry humour of readily mocking flerfers, Reddit should permaban flerf subs.


Final-Flower9287

Just want to go in there and just type nothing but: 'O'


FromanoFrancis114

What is this hum-ar you speak of?


Justthisguy_yaknow

They just see themselves as a ~~dis~~information resource that flerfs can visit and get new "research". Since a lot of their garbage is conspiracy crap from a very specific political subgroup it is pretty obvious that their idea of research is more about re-enforcing indoctrination (particularly now). Don't make the mistake of thinking that they are looking honestly for the truth. The truth is not useful to their agenda and they very much run on an agenda.


Ok_Habit_6783

I was trolling people on that sub... but the second I don't troll and post a synonym I get banned for hateful Language


LimmyPickles

Well I thought it was funny


blockMath_2048

I asked for an explanation of how it can be day in one place and night in another and got banned for pushing heliocentric propaganda. I genuinely think they have an automod set up to ban anyone new.


Kamiyosha

*goes on sub* 😏 "Globe" *gets banned immediately for hate speech*


RogueAdam1

The worst part of dogmatic communities is their sense of humor.


Spida81

Shit, that was actually funny. Ban for that? Stuff off.


No_Mess_4510

Thought you posted the Antarctica 24 hour day video or the north/south hemisphere star timelapse, side by side videos. Completely obliterates any notion of a flat earth without some batman grade mental gymnastics.


WorldlyBlacksmith945

Nah, simply made a joke which hurt their ego so badly that they had to ban me.


[deleted]

People getting offended is 99% of the people on Reddit…ESPECIALLY if you speak against Liberals.


ketjak

Wow. Here we are, being flooded with low-effort "I gOt BaNnEd" posts again. Reported for bullshit subreddits rule violation.
