Another reason why I vote the Flat Earth Society. This is the one of the most stupid parts of all. Where the fuck do they think the gravity's coming from? What the hell is there below the Earth that could possibly pull us down? Nothing. Fucking imbeciles.

Flat-Earthers don't believe in gravity (at least not on Earth, since that would cause the Earth's disk to collapse into a sphere), so they insist that for all time the Earth has been rushing upwards and
accelerating at a rate of 9.8 m/s² to simulate gravity. Why? Good question, they're not exactly known for providing explanations, only asserting that science is both wrong and conspiring against them, though dark energy seems to be a popular "explanation" recently. Similarly for the causes of the phases of the moon (a shadow cast by an object undiscovered and undetectable by science). They don't even seem to recognise the distortion of distances in the southern latitudes caused by their model. I mean, look at it.
The real exact distance between Auckland, New Zealand and Santiago, Chile is 6011 miles, but on this map the same course would be between 20,000 – 30,000 miles. When asked, a real Flat-Earther us unable to hear the question.
