Hopefully some of these flat earthers were CEOs? I mean to say “thoughts and prayers”.
But maybe we need a new cutsey saying “at least one CEO amongst them” or something.
Good on them. Put those theories to the test! As long as they pay for it, I don’t care if it takes an orbital ride or a trip to find the great wall of ice. This is oddly truer science than one would expect.
That story below is tragic. 12 restaurant workers killed in their dorm by fumes from a generator that was used while the power was out.
I saw that as well. Was there ever an explanation for why they kept the generator inside? I really hope there was a good reason.
People underestimate how quickly Carbon Monoxide can overtake you and how little air there actually is indoors. I was helping someone with their car once time. It was winter and we were starting it to see if something was working. He kept starting it with the garage door closed and seemed annoyed when I would open the door to vent the exhaust. I’d rather be slightly cold than dead. Those people that use keorose or diesel heaters on their garages in the winter just sketches me out. I’m ready to ditch natural gas from my home altogether because I just don’t like the idea of it.

Human stupidity
The fact you don’t know something doesn’t make you stupid, it just means nobody has ever taught you about it.
Carbon monoxide isn’t something people can just inherently know.
Fair enough. Human ignorance? I guess what I was getting at is that there isn’t ever a “good reason” (which is the term used in the comment i was replying to) to exhaust a generator to any indoor space.
This is actually an incredible story.
Dave McKeegan,a tremendous influencer in the flat earther world, was offered a free trip to Antarctica to see the sun circle the South Pole with his own eyes.He agreed to go, and brought his own cameras to video the sun. He witnessed it, recorded it, and accepted it. He then posted the video and publicly admitted that he was wrong, and that the Earth is indeed round.
I have a lot of respect for the way he handled what I imagine to be very profound, and very public, cognitive dissonance.
Edit: Dave McKeegan was the name of the debunker who organized the expedition, not the influencer whose video I saw and admitted he was wrong. My mistake.
Wait, did jeren flip? I know whitsit said it was evidence for the globe but didn’t concede his stance.
No, Dave McKeegan wasn’t the one who organised the expedition either. That was Will Duffy. Dave is just a debunker, photographer and one of the “globe earthers” who agreed to go as well.
I agree to go too. Where is my ticket?
Damn I should pretend to be a flat earther that trip to Antarctica sounds sick
Dave McKeegan isn’t who offered to fund a flat earther. He was himself funded by the guy who arranged the whole thing, same as the flat earther was. Dave McKeegan was simply a prominent debunker with skills as a photographer who accepted to take part in this venture.
A better question might be: “how many popular ski resorts are in Antarctica?”
The flat earthers who refused the trip knew the grift is over if they went.
