Omitting Great A’Tuin and simplyfing the 4 elephants to be “pillars". Now that’s just lazy parenting.
This is, very simply, child abuse.
It’s satire
Honestly, I’m not sure that is satire
Empty toilet paper rolls support the whole flat earth. Big toilet paper doesn’t want us to know.
I always wondered…if the earth is flat then what’s on the under side? Why haven’t we need able to dig a hole all the way through? Is this all because these people can’t get their heads around how gravity works? Why is earth the only flat planet?

This isn’t child abuse and even comparing something like home schooling to child abuse is completely unnecessary. Lots of countries allow people to homeschool their children, which of course will include spiritual stuff the majority of people of today will not agree. Some cultures lie to their kids about Santa Claus and other shit and no one cares, because kids aren’t as stupid as we often assume. Kids can change their perspective easily once provided with new information - something that a lot of adults struggle with due to cognitive dissonance.
This physically pains me.
Wait so flat earth thinks the earth is flat but the moon and sun are not?? How does that work?
I babysat a girl who came to me and asked if atoms were really little crosses, like her grandmother taught her. She was confused because the teacher at school was saying something different
I told her to listen to her teacher
Gives off “my grandma said Cleopatra was black” vibes.
Strong “Waterboy” vibes
My Mama says that alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush.
This is layered… Not only will the kids grow up incorrectly believing that the earth is flat, they are also going to grow up resenting people that disagree with what their parents say, eventually they may even resent their parents for forcing their false beliefs on them and making them look foolish in front of their peers.
I have met a Flat Earth conspiracy believer mom who was homeschooling her kid, explaining how the sphere Earth model is wrong and so on, her complaint was that despite her best efforts to
indoctrinateeducate her child, the child was not convinced that the Earth is flat. It goes to show that some children are just too intelligent to fall for this kinda shit. The child was eight or nine years old I think.Reminds me of Aron Ra, he grew up in a mormon family, but in his case they waited with the indoctrinating until he was old enough, which was when he was eight
But as he himself said “by then it was already too late”
When his mother sat him down and started reading to him from the book of mormon, he just pointed out things that were wrong and stupid.
Remember, if you want your kids to believe the stupid things you believe, start early and don’t let them see or hear too much about reality, or you’ll have a bad time
I’ve tried this experiment in Blender by projecting a NASA earth texture onto a circular plane to see if I could even come up with something where the day/night solstice/equinox cycles make any kind of sense, couldn’t make it work.
I do think that if you really wanted to upset these folks, though, you’d insist that Australia is actually at the center of the earth.
What do the pillars of the earth stand on?
4 elephants and a turtle.
I have never through of that…how is day an night supposed to work on a flat earth? Like Minecraft they just…rotate around? What about the underside of the earth? The other side of the coin…do people live there too? Can we visit them if we dig a hole?
The flatearthers are gonna hunt you, better not ask those questions
The sun is apparently more like a flashlight than an orb. That would be the only way this could work, but even Terry Pratchett knew that this doesn’t make any sense
…wait and how does it become night? Like the lantern gets turn off? What about when it’s night in a place but morning on another?
It would rotate around, like in the model. Since it’s more like a flashlight there would be no scattering of the light. There would only be day right under the sun. That’s the only way this would make any sense at all, and even then That’s kinda meh
Burh I would honestly have even more questions,who holds the lantern? What about the sunset? And sunrise?
I have no idea, and “they” prevent us from finding out
(/s)
We shouldn’t allow people to homeschool. You get stupidity like this.

My sister did successfully. She is a fundie of sorts, but she is extremely smart and dedicated to her children. I think she’s the exception, not the rule. Overall, I think it’s a bad idea because most parents are dumb and/or lazy.
