Okay so I have the unfortunate circumstance of having a good friend of mine turn around and start spouting flat earth stuff at me.
The thing is, to me the earth being round is such a given that I don't even know how to refute the flat earther arguments. One thing I did say though is that it makes no sense, why would the government go to great lengths to cover up a flat earth when it makes pretty much no difference to our political circumstances or day to day lives. If somehow someone did come along and say 'The world is actually cuboid' I'd probably be shocked for a bit and then get on with my life. At least other conspiracies have some kind of motive behind them.
So what do you say to refute someone who insists that the world is flat? Bearing in mind that Nasa photographs are not good enough apparently.
