I think in their crazy world, the north pole is at the center of the earth disk and Antarctica is actually an ice wall around the perimeter that keeps the water on the disk. Therefore, Africa and Australia are on opposite sides of the disk (like left-right not heads-tails) or are near the out perimeter and no one would build a cable going across that long of a distance.

If that makes your brain hurt because of the stupidity, that's because it is. Flat earthers are only good as the target of a joke because we can all agree that it's stupid. There are some entertaining videos on YouTube of people making fun of them, or of themselves proving themselves wrong.

Why not the south pole being in the center of the earth.

And I actually looked on a map, Africa is much further away to Australia than I thought.

Well you see, the UN's logo is actually a top-down view of Earth. Apparently. Because they can't keep a conspiracy secret without leaving some clues in the open for kicks.
