and I don't know if the moon is flat, but I do know it emits its own light. That was a jaw dropper for me, as if the whole thing isn't jaw dropping enough. The sun is actually quite close to earth. I can't really discuss it with her because it's this whole involved theory with a lot of components that our mandatory indoctrination (school, in flat earth speak) didn't tell us about, so it's like trying to argue in a foreign language. It goes along with guns, Trump, God, and hatred of government.
