I wondered about this, so I did some looking. It seems that the people who believe the earth is flat accept the fact that all the other celestial bodies are spherical. I wonder if there is overlap with people who say the moon landing was faked.

I am Vietnamese and I would think very few of our people think the earth is flat yet in our holidays we make square rice cake to represent the earth and round rice cake to represent the sun. I don't think anyone of us would think of changing that tradition.

Traditions are good - as long as the "globe" in classrooms isn't square.

In their ridiculous explanations they describe the earth as a flat disc like a record. Have any of these idiots ever said what’s on the other side of the disc?

From their base on the dark side of the moon.

there are literal flat earthers, and others that use the term eco-politically. Friedman's book, The Flat Earth is very interesting reading.

I worked with a fellow engineer in the aerospace industry for many years.
His wife was an avid flat earther. When asked about it, he explained that,

"He had been living on the edge for a long time!"
