DEDICATED FLAT EARTH CONSPIRACY NUTS TO GET THEIR OWN REALITY TV SHOW TO PROVE THEIR CASE
I’m not really on the fence when it comes to whether the planet Earth is round. It is. I’ve been on long international flights with a clear line of sight, and could easily see the confirmation with my own eyes that the horizon had a particular, absolutely consistent curve. In other words, I could see that the world is round. Not flat. But flat Earth conspiracy nuts have a particular fervor for their denial of…. worldliness being a circular affair. They just won’t be convinced, despite all the obvious evidence to the contrary. That’s odd. And odd ends up being reality TV. And yes, flat Earth conspiracy nuts are about to have their own reality TV show.

CONSPIRACY NUTS WILL TAKE A YACHT ON A TRIP TO FIND THE EDGE, AND PROVE THEM RIGHT
The news comes from IndieWire, which includes the details of how the show will literally pay flat Earth conspiracy nuts money to showcase their beliefs that the planet Earth is actually shaped like a frisbee. You know, with edges that you can walk off of. This will include these… dedicated luddites going on a yacht to prove that if they go far enough, they’ll find the edge of the “frisbee.” Presumably, they are assuming they will be totally vindicated on television for being…. nuts.

IF FLAT EARTH NUTS CAN PROVE THEIR CASE TO A PANEL, THEY’LL WIN A CASH PRIZE (NOT)
The show will be “part docuseries, part competition,” and I have no idea what the latter will entail. Once they’ve used about $50,000 of resources to pursue their vindicative research, they’ll present their results to a panel of actual scientists, theologians and cartographers. That last is the best part, as those folks are mapmakers. You know, people who make maps of the totally round planet Earth? And if they are successful in convincing this panel, the flat Earth conspiracy nuts will win a cash prize.
Except that, they won’t. The show will premiere on The Network, a relatively new streaming service.
