Mythbusters took commonly held ideas and showed whether they were correct or not. Sometimes they actually said that what they were showing was true, often they showed how things are sort of true to a given value of true but there’s a lot of subtlety and nuance in the answer.
But the Earth isn’t flat. We know it isn’t, there is no debating the topic unless you’ve got a neurological deficiency. All this show he’s going to do is be, haha look at the morons, which won’t do anything because we already do that.
No, they took random subjects as well. It’s called MYTHbusters. They didn’t just take proven facts and investigate. They took all kinds of dumbass thing and debunked them.
This is a weird hill to die on I’ve got to say. I’ve seen MythBusters it’s on TV, you can watch reruns on a on Youtube, you are arguing about something fundamentally disprovable.n
And I repeat, the Earth is not flat. The only people who think the Earth is flat are people who have stopped taking their medication. Laughing at these people is counterproductive at best an outright abusive at worst.
Are you being stupid on purpose or just to be an ass? Just to be sure. Now, on to the part that actually matters:
To you this might be a perfect chance to laugh at them, to them, this is a perfect chance to give them a voice and a place to show their theories and spread their conspiracy, remember that idiots might not be brave enough to show they are idiots in public until they are given a voice or a feeling of not being alone in their stupidity.
Now if they bribe enough people or if the sponsors decide to side with the flat-earhers for whatever reason, they just need to replace the panel enough times until they are willing to make the flat-earhers look convincing enough and we get even more idiots.
I’ve seen enough to believe idiots are a majority, not a minority like lemmy or reddit loves to believe, I really hope I’m wrong and it just stops at everyone laughing at the crazy people, but things can always get worse.
I don’t think shows like Mythbusters did anything but the opposite.
But this won’t be Mythbusters and expecting it to not be malicious is being too naive
Whoa. Malice towards whom? Are you afraid flat earth folks will feel bad about being shut down?
