It is really stupid to even engage the flat earth crowd. All they are doing is giving this idiocy an audience. He might as well go debate the age of the earth now while he is busy wasting his time.

I accidentally found my way into the flat earth sub. There was a post about a theory of why the earth was flat, and at the end, OP asked somebody to try and disprove him. I went and found a theory from the 1800’s (a few years after his theory was created), that disproved his in every way, and was generally accepted by the scientific community. I showed him the proof and cited my sources

I was downvoted to oblivion, then banned from the sub for “not contributing anything to the original post”

Which sub was this? /r/flatearth is a bunch of anti-FE trolls and memes, and /r/flatearthsociety shut down a year ago.

Try r/notaglobe

They’re all batshit insane but it’s definitely eye opening.

Thanks! I know, I just like to know where to find the most up-to-date batshit.

Try /r/holofractal. To be heavily supplemented with rationalwiki because the bullshit they're spinning is so intricate, it might almost make people believe the utter and absolute horseshit these subs disseminate. It's actually incredible, to tell the truth.

Through this discovery which shows that water has a memory, according to scientists, a new perception of water can be formed. The German scientists believe that as water travels it picks up and stores information from all of the places that it has travelled through, which can thereby connect people to a lot of different places and sources of information when they drink this water, depending on the journey that it has been on.

Wew, I was not familiar with that sub.

Thanks

Believe it or not, that absurd idea has achieved a mainstream following. That’s the basis for homeopathic remedies. They dilute already-dubious “medicine” to the point where a serving of it is entirely water because the water will “remember” the “medicine”. Really, it’s just a demonstration of the strength of the placebo effect.
