Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the moments that former flat-earthers realized that the earth is indeed not flat. We love a good roundtable discussion involving newly enlightened flat-earthers. A strange bunch, but at least we get moments like this as a result.

Take that flat earthers. Some might call this a flawless victory by Carl Sagan.
Being a land of creativity and obsession, tumblr has its favorite things, on of them being looking at human nature from a humorous outsider's perspective. This series of Tumblr threads explores humans as space orcs, and this Tumblr thread imagines an alien invasion being fought off by Earth's wildlife.
Real planets have curves. Here we are again, Flat Earthers. How will they go about contesting this, and pulling up some sort of counterargument, out of thin air? Your guess is as good as ours, but rest assured, it'll happen. You can find the rest of the video, where these images were sourced from over here.
It's 2019 and people still believe the Earth is flat. What a time to be alive. After all the videos and experiments like this guy who proved flat earthers wrong in the best way possible, or these flat earthers proving themselves wrong, you'd think this wouldn't be a thing, but here we are. Sometimes it makes you just not want to live on this round planet anymore.

"They never told me that we're living on top!" @LoveMahalHappy tweeted the mind-blowing realization her sister had when she was keyed into the fact that we don't live on the inside of the planet. It's just a matter of time til the conspiracy theorists get to her.
These'll stop you in your tracks. If you're after some seriously mind-bending facts that will not just make you think, but make you ponder existence itself, feel the inevitability of time, and question the nature of the universe, then you're in the right place. Not only will these facts make for some interesting shower thoughts, they will also up your trivia skills. Two birds, one stone. Prepare your brain for what you're about to read.
WTF facts are so fun. The world is brimming with infinite tidbits of information about the randomest of things, from science to animals to humans to the earth to literally anything in existence. Really. There's a world of information out there that we don't know about, and it blows our minds just thinking about it.
The world is filled with stupid questions, and most of those questions are size related, particularly whether or not God can create something so big that even he can't eat it. Sometimes people think outside the bun, though. Reddit is a place for that, a safe space where stupid questions aren't chastised but encouraged. This is one of those times. So when someone asked: "What would the Earth taste like if we shrunk it to the size of a grape and ate it as a whole?" The gang at Ask Reddit took it to heart, and the answers are fantastic. However, the answer is quite easy: The earth would taste like chicken.

Not sure if this is good news or bad news, but an asteroid breezed past Earth this week, two days after it was discovered. That giant space rock so many of you voted for almost happened.
According to TIME, “The space rock, which is officially called 2017 AG13, flew between Earth and the moon Monday about 8 a.m. EST.”The object came “within half the distance of the moon.” Talk about a case of the Mondays! Am I right???
Now, speaking seriously, considering all that we have going on in the world, is this good news or bad news? You decide.
