The amount of hubris exhibited by the typical flat-earther is amusing and simultaneously alarming. How did we turn into a nation full of uneducated cocksure idiots?

And so help me god, if you're a flat-earther and you come at me I will ban you on the spot. I have absolutely no interest in debating the merits of your moronic theories of celestial movement or your ice wall or any of your original "research".

Hey, Nirvana's no joke. I'm a big fan. I even have a shirt.

I'm confused why some American folks pronounce the word data the correct way and some others pronounce the word darta!

I'm confused why some American folks pronounce the word Akrapovic the correct way and some others pronounce the word
Akra-poe-vitch
