And all evidence to the contrary is falsified by the "round Earth conspiracy", led by NASA.Ī model of a flat earth, with the Sun and the Moon rotating above it.

Gravity doesn’t exist – the disk is simply in a constant “upwards” motion. These so called “flat earthers” believe the Earth is a disk, covered by a gigantic dome, with the Sun and the Moon rotating in circles above it, and with Antarctica being a gigantic ice wall (just like in Game of Thrones), going all around the edge of the disk. Two thousand years after Eratosthenes of Cyrene first calculated the circumference of the Earth, in a time where tourist space travel is almost a reality, there are still people who believe the Earth is flat. It all supports the idea that this image was created to be a funny meme.It’s meant as a joke, but unfortunately it’s not. This is a decent collection of circumstantial evidence. That was 6 days ago and they have not responded. I sent a message to The Flat Earth facebook page asking if it was real, on 12/30/17. This guy tweeted out the joke in May 2016. This shirt was originally sold in February 2017. This same joke was made prior to May 2017 without attribution to an actual Flat Earth source. The original post was not an image, and therefore would not be found by tineye.

It is possible that the post was real and the Facebook post was deleted after it became a widely ridiculed meme. It is very possible that Tineye's first record of it is actually a reposting of an earlier unrecorded image. Unfortunately I do not know how thorough their records are. Their image recognition algorithms allow you to reverse search an image and find out when it first appeared in Tineye's records. When I go to The Flat Earth Society's Facebook page, this post does not appear in the first half of 2017. Tineye's first record of this image appeared on May 9, 2017. I find no evidence of this being real, but I cannot prove a negative.
