flat earth

Man this student sounds like they'd be a prime recruit for the Flat Earth movement. They wrote a joke essay about the earth being flat, and the school ended up taking it so seriously that it manifested in them implementing a whole bit about the earth actually being round, into the curriculum. I'd say mission accomplished in the way of the student playing a solid little prank. 

As it turns out, Legolas doesn't need to worry about that silly horizon. Nor does any other elf in Tolkien's wild word. Tolkien lore actually shines light on the true nature of elves, and their ability to see the world as a flat disc, while everyone else sees it as a globe. Pretty fun stuff. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread about the crude king of satire, Skweezy Jibbs.

The flat earthers really have their work cut out for them on this one. Sometimes you've got to meet the irrationality of this world with a hearty serving of cold, hard facts. This physics professor certainly brought his A game. 

It must be hard being an anti-vaxxer or flat-earther. You have to dodge so much information! Here are some folks getting hit with some satisfying displays of weaponized knowledge. For comebacks with less science and more funny, here are clever comebacks from spicy silver tongues. 

Oh boy, these flat earther moments are something else. One never goes full flat earther. Like, if you do, is there any coming back from that? I'm not sure. 

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. 

Flat earthers really have their work cut out for them with this one. Hard to argue with the facts when they're presented in such a well-organized manner like this. 

Whether or not you're a part of the Flat Earth fan club, these funny memes about the absurdity the Flat Earth theory are sure to make you giggle. Checkmate, atheists. 

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.

At its core, an argument is a very common and simple act where two people who disagree on something deliberate over the truth and best course of action. When both parties are interested in a joint solution, consensus can be reached. The problem is that a solution also requires that the people who are arguing can actually agree on the point of the argument, how to actually argue, and the rules of objective reality. Here are some times when people realized they were talking to someone who couldn't be bothered to want to agree, didn't have the energy, or was just flat out dumb as rocks. In a similar vein, here are some of the dumbest arguments people have found themselves in.
