I’ve been following a little adventure to the Antarctic on social media. A group of flat earthers were gifted a chance to go to the Antarctic and have now seen a full 24 hours of sun, recording it and live-streaming to loyal flat earth believers. The only problem is that 24 hours of sun is impossible on a flat earth.

Here are a couple TikToks that share them talking to their flat earth fans on livestream.

1. Admitting there is a 24 hour sun.
2. Live streamers accusing them of using a green screen.

The humour here is that these diehard believers with hundreds of thousands of followers are now being called shills, and being accused of faking what they are seeing, because even in the face of hard evidence, their fans want to hold on to their (invalid) beliefs.

You would hope that this would be enough to change minds, but people don’t change beliefs easily. I’m looking forward to seeing what kinds of ridicule these flat earthers will face from their fans. I wonder if any of them will continue to defend this ridiculous idea when they get back home?

My hope is that common sense will prevail… we’ll see.
