      I have very sensitive antennae when it comes to flat earth bullshit and also started to develop an allergy to non-science. So I beg your pardon that I asked…

        Well you aren’t the only one, so maybe I should have laid the sarcasm on more clearly. I thought most people would read the title as tongue-in-cheek.

              I think there’s a lot of friendly and socially conscious people on here but I’m so bad at detecting tone though text, and I feel like I’ve been seeing more open vileness from bigoted and conspiratorial types recently even on a lot of the the better parts of Lemmy

          Sorry captain, but I’ve heard a lot of Flat Earthers that use that exact phrase and act like its a gotcha that the Earth supposedly moves with 1675 km/h (it doesn’t, it rotates at a 15 degrees per hour drift Thanks bob) can’t be felt.

              Oh yeah, they use loony toons maths to explain certain aspect of reality while a globe earth would explain it all at the same time.

      Any intelligent joke requires a disclaimer because of flat earthers, Qanoners and conservatives.
