12. Sunset and sunrise according to Flat-Earthers:

According to Flat-Earthers, the sun does not sink behind the horizon or come up from behind the horizon. They think that the Sun moves into the distance and shrinks until it's so far away that you can no longer see it.

Now you say: "Wait a minute! The Sun doesn't shrink during sunset or sunrise!"

Flat-Earthers have an elegant solution for this: Pretending that you never said that. Not kidding. Anything that would disprove their arguments gets simply ignored by Flat-Earthers and as soon as that pesky critic (YOU) is gone, they go right back to touting their disproven talking-point, pretending that it never was disproven.
