Earth: Flat or Globe? [View all]

In light of the thread on the completely false, made up “NSA audit” of the 2024 election getting, as of this writing, 136 recs, I thought it was important to take measure of the health of the reality based community here at DU.

Thread I’m referencing is here:

If you consider this poll to be important, or at least entertaining, please rec so that others may see and participate.
