Ironic that someone looking for flat Earths became flat themselves.
Why are people talking like there are only 2 options, flat or sphere?
Is there no love for the torroid shaped earth theory?

Since we established the shape, lets focus on more important details:
I can't verify this, but I read somewhere that the recent surge in belief in a flat Earth was started as a joke on 4chan.At least 2,100 years ago. And it is hard to make spherical maps out of paper.
The reason we are seeing a surge in "non-believers" is that the internet exposes and gives voice to all the dumb people as well.
I'm a total sucker for a good hollow earth theory. I'd be delighted if it were true.Since we established the shape, lets focus on more important details:
I'll leave this here:
100 Proofs that the Earth is a Globe
Note that the author intends to provide 100 proofs, but started the project about a year ago, and has been posting a new one roughly every one to two weeks, and has reached a total of 40 so far. Proofs include everything from Eratosthenes' famous experiement in 240 BCE, through bridge engineering, to how modern camera image stabilization technology is designed.
It's a great read, and I check weekly for updates.

They did make a bit of the Earth a bit flatter, or possibly cratered.
As I waited for new tyres a while back a flat earther "expert" was on This morning TV show in the uk. He said all the satelite footage was "CGI" and we couln't trust America and NASA.
I ed myself laughing at the chap......doesn't he know the Russians went into space 1st? Doesn't he know that if the Americans were lying about the shape of the Earth the Russians would have said so?!!
How do Flat earthers explain Beyond the Horizon Naval tactics?

Apparently its the ultimate conspiracy theory. People move through UFO's and lizard people and when they can't get their fix anymore they latch onto flat earth since it requires a vast orchestrated lie involving every government on earth and a huge number of private organizations.
That's what makes those Moon Landing Hoaxers so amusing to me. You would think that if the US faked the moon landing, the Russians would've spoken up, rather than send their congratulations.
I watched an interview with a moon hoaxer who also firmly believed Nasa had a base on mars and FTL ships. He mentioned all three in the space of two sentences. Barely a flicker on his face as he spouted it.
Wanted to write this, I seriously doubt there is even one flat earth commander here. Muttering "lies, lies everywhere... they even faked computer games..." under breath everytime he leaves a planet
The fact that many people here are astronomy nerds or highly trained specialists also doesn't help
Not quite. He already passed his genes, and that's sad. So Darwin should say
Fingers crossed offspring will know better.
You say that, but:
Most of them were happy to dance, sing and celebrate the new Millennium; 12 months early.
plus.... we know and can see that the other planets in our solar system are round(ish)....so why is the earth apparantly exempt from this natural phenomena? Iz it becoz GOD made uz speshul?

An heretical view might be that Einstein was wrong.
