someone who believes in a flat earth is also more likely to believe in the geocentric order of planets rather than the heliocentric one.
heliocentricism → the Sun is the center of the universe and all revolves around it
geocentrism → the Earth is the center of the universe and all revolves around it, including the sun
heliocentricism → the Sun is the center of the
universesolar system and all revolves around it
That's what you meant to write...
Then there was the day Elon Musk found a group that was even stupider than the people he normally hangs out with:
It's always amusing to me which observations these people won't ignore while they ignore other observations. Like how do they draw the line?

Earth is the only flat planet AND the only one to have both liquid water and life. Checkmate, round-earth whackadoodles. /s
This actually explains why our planet is the only one with life. The aliens keep slipping off theirs!
Pluto is where the conspiracy gets really crazy, which is why astronomers are trying to cover up it's existence.
It's just a parody of the planets. They're all Al dressed up in different costumes.
Imagine believing science enough to agree with scientists that Pluto isn't a planet, but not enough to believe Earth is round.
Nonononononono! You got it wrong! The "sun" is just a giant heat lamp the government has been running ever since the beginning of time! The heat lamp moves while we stay stationary! /s
This is such a misconstrued scale meant to be derisive against flat earthers. The accurate representation is a circle with cloud shrouded ice damns along the edge of the planet.
It's still dumb but should be accurate to what they believe.
And the sun should be a little ball above the Earth. Exactly how high and how big is not sure.
You also shouldn't ask how it manages to light only half of an otherwise flat earth I suppose.
Best explanation I saw involved light curving. At which point you're just working with a spherical earth in a weird coordinate system.
Explanations for lunar and solar eclipses get silly too. Mercury and Venus passing in front of the sun is just ignored as it wouldn't fit between the Earth and the sun.
I thought Earth was Neapolitan style, but it was Chicago deep dish the whole time! If only I'd have known earlier!
The other planets and moons are flat too, bro. They just face us all the time. It's convenient like that.
