Flat Earth people.
To say people who believe the earth is flat are wrong, is an insult to wrong things. But let's be fair. Here's 2 videos. One says the earth is flat and one uses science, logic and common sense.

Edit: that was unnecessarily convoluted.
My brother believes in chemtrails, so much that his children are afraid to go outdoors when planes fly. Extrapolate.
I'm afraid to go outside when large flocks of birds of flying overhead...but that's fear of different trails.
Are there things we are doing as humans (be it individually, corporately, etc.) that are dangerous to our collective health? Probably. But 50 years ago they didn't think smoking tobacco was bad for you either. We've probably eliminated some things that used to shorten our lifespan, while adding (either unintentionally or knowingly) other things that also shorten it in exchange.
Tl;DR: Our lifespans are getting longer, so we must be doing something right. And some it's probably a wash.

I assume flat earthers would just wave off this guys basic math as lies backed by the global cabal.
That's very unclear, I hope someone understands what I'm trying to say
Fair enough. It's symptomatic of the "there are no experts" cultural phenomenon created by the healthy skepticism regarding authority that has gone terribly awry. Simply put, if there are no experts (or everyone is an expert), then every question, idea, ethical question, moral issue, debate, etc. can be reduced down to what the collective "I" thinks based on personal observation and opinion. The natural offshoot is that there is no one to answer to and no need to "know" anything. It reduces human existence down to two basic principles:
1) Observe
2) Act on observation
No experts = no authority, no responsibility, no accountability, etc.

That sounds counter intuitive to progress. Why have people devote their professional lives to a subject if we elect to ignore their expertise?
That'd be awesome, except I know real people who believe in super dumb conspiracies that aren't smart. And part of the narrative is how much smarter you are than your friends and how dumb something is.
Flat Earthers be all like:
Your assumption should be correct, but imagine if you only watched that pro flat earth video and believed it 100%. Now imagine rather than being a normal inquisitive person and doing some actual reading, you freeze your opinion and everything you see that contradicts the original opinion is a lie. Essentially, it doesn't matter if originally it was trolling, people are actually believing it and it's effing horrific.
*shrugs* My reason for putting it out out there at all is how dangerous willful ignorance is. Questioning stuff is great. Questioning facts and proven science is dumb. If I say you took a bribe and I have pictures, bank records and the guy who bribed you admitting he bribed you, but you just say 'fake news' and everyone believes you over evidence, that says something bad about where we're going as a species.

Sorry to shatter your reality, but your claim that the earth is round is destroyed by this incredible feat of science and logic.
Go watch some YouTube videos about their interactions with police and you’ll lose a lot of faith in people lol.
Getting back on topic, I also find it hilarious that flat earthers also believe the other planets in the solar system are indeed spherical, but Earth? Nah why should that be the same?
A lemon in your hand, with very few exceptions, will not act liked a planet.

See, that's what I mean. Started as a joke, now it's officially not funny.
The whole "dihydrogen monoxide is dangerous" hoax began as an April Fools joke in the 1980's, when a newspaper in Michigan, US, published a satirical article about dihydrogen monoxide and called for it to be regulated or banned. Unfortunately a lot of people thought it was real, and even continued to think so even after the newspaper said it was a joke and explained that it is just water. Water companies were hit with a barrage of telephone calls and letters, water pipes were sabotaged and so on. The April Fools "joke" caused a lot of panic, resulting in the need for a public announcement to discredit the myth. Of course some people then believed the government was covering it up.
There was also a science experiment in 1990 measuring the gullibility of people and how gullibility can spread. The experiment told people that dihydrogen monoxide is very dangerous and hazardous. Ultimately a lot of people believed it. This shows that people will believe anything they are told when they simply do not understand the science behind things (for example those who misunderstand evolution tend to lean towards the false view of creationism).
What about the 90 Kangaroos released in Wyoming this April? :^)

How long until people are saying, "no really, man! They actually released Kangaroos in Wyoming!"????
Also, I really suck at coding this spoiler right.
Just for people who just can't believe in this level of dumb, check this video out. Here an actual unintelligent person who believes several absurd theories say really dumb things, has a basic lack of not complex things and well, just watch.
Are you crazy? That's exactly how people were made afraid of water.
Hence the tongue-in-cheek joke!
But speaking of conspiracy theories, have 11 minutes of Alex Jones (he swears a lot guys):
This video is funnier than the one I had here.
But what if 40 years from now people are forming raiding parties to hunt kangaroo?
Some more for people who just can't believe anyone can actually be this ignorant. This guy doesn't believe in gravity...andd it gets worse.
