Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

A group of popular flat earth YouTubers have admitted defeat against the ‘globers’ after taking a trip to Antarctica to witness the 24-hour sun.

...

"What does that mean? You guys are going to have to figure that out yourself. Don't listen to my beliefs or my opinion, it shouldn't matter to you. But at least you should be able to accept that the sun does exactly what these guys said as far as [it] circles the southern continent. I realise that I'll be called a shill for just saying that, and you know what, if you're a shill for being honest, so be it. I honestly believed there was no 24-hour sun, I honestly now believe there is."

Austin Whitsitt from Witsit Gets It conceded to viewers "we were wrong" about the 24-hour sun, but said he was still open to the earth being flat.

"Defeat" didn't last long. I guess the grift must continue somehow. to-the-moon

You could blast these dimwits into orbit and they'd still be like "umm nah that's actually NASA projecting a 3D globe over earth" or some b.s.

Even if literal fucking aliens came to Earth and told them they're wrong, they'd still accuse the aliens of being part of some globehead conspiracy. That's probably when the aliens decide Earth isn't worth it. posadist-nuke
