Back when “The Flat Earth Society” was all about trolling and making an elaborate scientific joke and not hardcore extremist science deniers.
The joke is the absurdity of a flat earth and making puns like “all around the globe” in that context and creating absurdist proof that the Earth is flat despite everyone knowing since kindergarten that it isn’t.
But some people started taking it too seriously.
Oh, I guess I got that part but was expecting there to be a pun I didn’t get in the “read that again slowly” text.
Imagine claiming something as stupid as the flatness of Earth.
The first group of people will try to prove that it’s round.
The second group will be triggered by the explanations of the first group. They will try to prove that Earth is geoid.
The third group will see how people who claim that Earth is round are being attacked.
The fourth group of edgelords will pretend that they believe that Earth is flat.
This ritual will continue until the myth of flat Earth is created. Isn’t it funny?
There’s not much I miss about Reddit, but one of those things is a proper community to put jokes that have been run into the ground. The unnecessary arrow is one thing, but then the second reaction image really kill the otherwise mildly amusing joke.
This joke is over 100 years old
Since I’ve seen this last time it’s gotten moldy and picked up a useless arrow and a useless reaction image.
This! It clearly needs more JPEG though. Here, I fixed it: https://morejpeg.com/Image/View/ed39fea5-0150-ef11-8104-ea49aec8cc27
Thank you for including a reaction image so I know how to feel about it.
