Hot take: the whole 'flat earth' thing is a waste of time to argue about.

Got into it with a friend at a BBQ last summer. He was all in. I spent maybe six hours over two weeks digging up old navy logs, satellite photos, the works. Showed him a video from a guy who sailed around the world. He just said it was all fake. Felt like hitting a wall. Anyone else just give up trying to convince someone of basic facts?

Been there. Spent a whole afternoon once showing a guy pictures from the space station. He said the windows were just screens. You can't argue with that. It's exhausting.

Wait, he thought the WINDOWS were screens? Like, the actual glass on the ISS? That's a whole new level. I could maybe see someone doubting a photo, but the literal structure? My brain just short-circuited. How do you even start to talk someone down from that ledge?

Honestly, I just stopped. My cousin was the same way. I asked him what proof would actually change his mind. He couldn't name a single thing. That's when I knew it was pointless.
