I kind of feel like flat earth thing started out with people trolling, but a number of morons believed it to be true and now it's just trolls leading the idiots.
No, it started out when the telescope was invented but people couldn't go to space so they could only speculate.
I'm aware that in the past people believed the earth was flat. I'm saying that recently..like within the last 5 years or so it made a comeback for whatever reason.
I'm aware that you're aware. I just made the comment as a joke.
I think believing in flat earth just stems from not trusting the government.
