"A group of flat Earthers has ventured to the southernmost land of Antarctica in an attempt to "end the debate over the shape of the Earth” – although we’re pretty sure that was already achieved by astronomers from Ancient Greece, the Islamic Golden Age, the Renaissance, etc, etc."
The nice thing about the Internet is that somewhere, someone has put up a website proving some whackamole claim.
My favorite, back some years ago, when I wanted to show my students why a general Google search is not particularly useful. I found a website that combined:
1. 9/11 was an inside job.
2. The Earth is flat
3. And it is only 6000 years old.
Once you accepted its assumptions, there was a certain logic to it.
