What's the explanation for the shape of the Moon, Sun, all other planets, etc... in the flat earth mindset?

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

One aspect of flat earth is to put earth back to the center of the universe. Other planets are just dots in the sky, we are the real thing

Which is what the bible says also. Thats why its a popular belief. It can be interpreted such that we are under a dome and on the other side is water, not space.

they got vaccines and became gay and round and autistic.

back before we were shooting vaccines into them with our gay vaccine rockets they were totally flat and straight.

All other things in the whole universe are round. Only Earth is flat, obviously.
