My infographic project on flat earth theories is getting more shares than expected

Honestly, I started it just for fun. Ngl, the debates in the replies are way more heated than I expected.

Wait, isn't it kind of dangerous to give these ideas a platform though? I mean, you made it for fun, but some people take it totally seriously. Spreading stuff that goes against basic science can actually cause real harm. It's not just a fun debate when it makes people doubt things we actually know for sure.

Remember my aunt got super into those "natural health" blogs that said microwaves poison your food. She threw out a perfectly good microwave and started reheating everything in the oven for like two years. Made dinner take forever. Eventually she just bought a new one because it was so annoying, but she still gives the microwave this weird look sometimes. Funny how those ideas just stick in your head even when you know better.

I added a simple FAQ section linking to NASA and basic physics sources, lol. It shut down the worst arguments fast.
