Ancient cultures believed that the Earth was flat until Aristotle challenged the notion with empirical evidence that it was in fact round. The new theory gained momentum well beyond the Hellenistic period, of course, as advanced technology has allowed us to see with our own eyes that we do in fact live on a spherical planet.

It seems, however, that we have come back full circle, thanks to the proliferation of proponents of the archaic theory on the Internet. Yes, Flat Earthers are back in a big way.


According to The Verge, Google Searches for the Flat Earth conspiracy increased in the last year.

The FAQ page for Flat Earth Society is the third Google search result for "flat Earth," and encourages people to distrust science completely, as the best way to experience reality is "by relying on one's own senses to discern the true nature of the world around us."

Google Trends shows the recent spike in interest for the theory.


Considering the Flat Earth conspiracy theorists have found new life online, what better place for the reality-based community to mock them than on the Internet with memes galore. Behold:

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!
