Giant earth theory is wild. I followed a guy on Reddit who had some absolutely insane videos "teaching" the subject. He also thought multiplication was a lie because if you do 5x5 by counting your fingers 5 times you still only have 5 fingers.

I'd say he's trolling but Terryology is apparently serious so anything goes, some people will gaslight themselves into anything.

Or maybe he's just amazing at the bit. He is an actor...

In every dumb movement you have the tucker carlsons that say shit they don't belive in, the trumps completely demented even lower iq and truly believe those things they say. And who ever the hell are the monkeys that whatch it.

If he was an actor he was performing for an insanely small audience. This guy was legit some of his videos were years old with less than 10 views.

But like... so what? What does this add to the flat earth "theory"? Like, okay there were really, really big trees once. Now what?

I know I'm looking for logic where it doesn't exist, but this really baffles me.

I'll see if his YouTube channel is still up so you can get the crazy sauce straight from the tap. Be warned, it is difficult to find a cohesive thought let alone any logic.
