    Are you being stupid on purpose or just to be an ass? Just to be sure. Now, on to the part that actually matters:
    To you this might be a perfect chance to laugh at them, to them, this is a perfect chance to give them a voice and a place to show their theories and spread their conspiracy, remember that idiots might not be brave enough to show they are idiots in public until they are given a voice or a feeling of not being alone in their stupidity.

    Now if they bribe enough people or if the sponsors decide to side with the flat-earhers for whatever reason, they just need to replace the panel enough times until they are willing to make the flat-earhers look convincing enough and we get even more idiots.

    I’ve seen enough to believe idiots are a majority, not a minority like lemmy or reddit loves to believe, I really hope I’m wrong and it just stops at everyone laughing at the crazy people, but things can always get worse.
