my friend just reconnected with her half brother for the first time in 18 years and it turns out he’s a flat earther who thinks Antarctica isn’t real and that there’s just a 20 foot wall at the end of Flat Earth that’s guarded by the American, Russian and Chinese navy on a joint secret mission
she asked him if penguins are real or not and he said they’re real and they live on the wall and sometimes swim around in the water below it
he says that the proof for this is that Antarctica isn’t on the UN flag
she also asked him why the Russians won’t tell us about the wall (since he’s a huge russophile) and he says Putin wants to tell us about Flat Earth but Obama won’t let him
she asked him if he perchance also thought some people were secretly lizards and he said “i don’t want to talk about it’
