Flat earther-ism used to be satire, too.

Now we have people killing themselves in attempts to “prove” that the Earth is flat.

Never doubt the ability of satire to fly over people’s heads at 10,000ft, and for those people to swallow that satire uncritically; hook, line, and sinker.

You wouldn't happen to have footage of something so hilarious?

It's a video of a guy that falls off the edge of the world. You can hear him saying "see I was right!" as he bounces off the shell of the turtle.
