When I first heard about flat earth ~~theory~~ hypothesis, I was totally hooked, I watched tons of videos. Ended up getting out a calculator after a graveyard shift so I could finally rest my mind after disproving one of their claims.

Got some new inspiration for DnD world building, which eventually led to designing a world that was on the inside of a giant egg.

That is the best possible reply to that question.

I think you win the internet for today.

I'm sure someone has told me about a flat earth show where they get flat earth believers, and get them to invent scientific tests for proving their theories. Then they get them to do the tests and see the results. I haven't actually watched it but it sounds pretty interesting.

There's one hilarious hour+ long one I saw where they went out to prove the earth is flat using a laser over a very very long distance, and accidentally prove the earth is round.

Yeah that's the sort of thing! Do you remember what it was called?

Thanks! I'll consider watching it, but sometimes I get second-hand cringe and can't handle it 😆
