Believe it or not there are still people out there who are so insane they believe the earth is completely flat. Yes, in this day in age were scientists can predict the exact time an eclipse will happen there are some men and women out there who refuse to believe that their theory is wrong — as some folks claim the eclipse was just a money-making scheme by NASA.
Just take a look at this post that was shared on Facebook

So people who think the earth is round are satanic liars? Got it. And don’t worry, there were even some people on Twitter that were still trying with all their might to convince everyone the earth is flat.

NASA is telling you not to look at the eclipse because the reflection of the FLAT earth will appear on the moon.

Hell, even NBA star Kyrie Irving thinks the earth is flat.
Hey @KyrieIrving, I hear if you stare at the eclipse the shadows prove the earth is flat. These glasses are just part of the big coverup!

Oh, and Mic even shared a video that shows conspiracy theorists using the solar eclipse as evidence the world isn’t round. Check it out below.
And let’s not forget that, according to Metro, “one story coming out of the subgroup is that the media (which is controlled by NASA, naturally) is telling people not to look directly at the eclipse for fear they will see how the government creates it.”
Makes sense. In conclusion there sure are some idiots out there.
