One of the more amusing things about flat earthers is that they acknowledge that every *other* planet is a spheroid. -- nm - mara Feb 18, 13:19 5
- I uh, was not aware of that - JD Feb 18, 13:27 4
  - It's like American Exceptionalism. They think Earth is just that special. -- nm - mara Feb 18, 13:34 3
    - (Actually, some of them think other planets may be discs, not spheres, and that it doesn't matter anyway.) -- nm - mara Feb 18, 13:36 2
      - This is what I had in mind. They're all discs, I can see that as a belief system. One disc amid a universe of spheres really hurts my brain -- nm - JD Feb 18, 13:39 1
        
        Discs that we only ever see full on, not edge on or angled. :-) But the Flat Earth Society wiki says "The planets are spherical bodies which revolve above the Earth." -- nm* - mara Feb 18, 13:40
