My loathe for conspiracy theorists-flat earthers especially-kind of makes me want to watch this.

    Mythbusters took commonly held ideas and showed whether they were correct or not. Sometimes they actually said that what they were showing was true, often they showed how things are sort of true to a given value of true but there’s a lot of subtlety and nuance in the answer.

    But the Earth isn’t flat. We know it isn’t, there is no debating the topic unless you’ve got a neurological deficiency. All this show he’s going to do is be, haha look at the morons, which won’t do anything because we already do that.

        This is a weird hill to die on I’ve got to say. I’ve seen MythBusters it’s on TV, you can watch reruns on a on Youtube, you are arguing about something fundamentally disprovable.n

        And I repeat, the Earth is not flat. The only people who think the Earth is flat are people who have stopped taking their medication. Laughing at these people is counterproductive at best an outright abusive at worst.
