In 2018, there are still people who think that if they venture too far off the horizon, they'll slip off the edge of the world. The members of the Flat Earth Society (yes they are real) claim irrefutable evidence the planet is a disc, never mind hundreds of years of science to the contrary.
The Site: "The horizon always rises to meet eye level — which is impossible on a ball earth?!?! The surfaces of bodies of water has been shown to be level. If the Earth was a Globe, this would not be the case. There is no visible curvature to the horizon even from airplanes. We don't even have a full shot of the Earth rotating from space! One almost has to ask — is there any real evidence the Earth is a Globe?" 🌎
Flat-earthers got a yuuuge boost when then-Cleveland Cavaliers superstar Kyrie Irving said he believes the earth is flat.
Edit: not saying I'm smaht just truly concerned that our kids do not know basics, where's Delaware on the map? how many branches of government and how to properly hand write a letter.
Tip: If you text someone that you are standing at their door and they don't respond, try ringing the doorbell.
