    I would highly recommend watching the documentary Behind the Curve.
    It follows a group of flat earthers. It’s a really good watch, a bit depressing. Gives you a look at how these people, who aren’t always the stupid people we think they are, got to where they are. How their lives and social connections start falling apart because of their belief in a flat earth. And at the end, how some of them realised they were wrong.

        Not really how I recall it, but I watched it during the height of lockdown…so my memory of that time is absolutely going to be full of more holes than a cheese grater…

          I am in the same boat as you. Or rather, if you’re in Ontario, the same sinking ship

            I’m from Vancouver, but I moved to the UK in November of 2020, watched it around Xmas/new year that winter.

            So… different ship, still sinking 😭
