I trust that no one is worried that I’m trying to belittle any group’s efforts at social advocacy with this cartoon.
Except the Flat Earthers. That group worries me a little.
I like me some physics.

All a flat earther would have to do is go up on the top of Pike’s Peak, take a ruler and a good set of binoculars. At arm’s length, the horizon is 38 miles to one inch on the ruler. On a nice clear day you can see Denver easily with a nice pair of binoculars…
I love how Hubris spun Kelly’s trap round.
If only it was that straightforward!
Logic and science rarely prevail over willful ignorance. A rather terrifying LA Times article today (01/15.2018 for future archive divers) on a group of flat earth proponents in Colorado shared some of their “proofs” that the earth is really flat and all of the evidence to the contrary is fabricated or misinterpreted.
And these people can vote…
…and if you suggest that their evidence is fabricated and misinterpreted, they lose their tempers. I don’t know if any of you guys listen to a podcast called “Oh No Ross And Carrie”, but they did a rousing series while joining a Flat Earther group. I had only one talk with one guy who had just begun to think about being a Flat Earther. He suddenly asked if I understood gravity. “Yes.” I said, “I do.” He continued the challenge. “So, how does it work?” I explained about mass perturbing space time and gave him the ‘Rubber mat with heavy balls rolling across it’ talk, and asked him if he understood why bubbled and raindrops try to become spheres instead of other shapes. I honestly think that when he asked whether I understood gravity, he expected me to say, “No.” I found the howling flaws in a video of an airplane ‘having to tip downward constantly in order to circle a round earth’ he tried to show me, too. It was fun.

Little Johnny Harket took himself to the market,
for to short some Microsoft away.
Johnny became way too brash, when the stock it did crash,
And now he trades from the cell he lives in today.
oh, Hubris you are really great in the kinds of situations.
but is it me or did they actually really destroy the set and chairs too? hehe
