We’ve seen how flat Earthers proclaim their beliefs to other people. While the earth has been scientifically proven to be an oblate spheroid, some people refuse to believe this, claiming that the Earth is flat. From using Bible scriptures to believing that gravity is not real, their beliefs are creative, at best. TruthTheory has a good suggestion on how we can put the flat earthers’ creativity into good use:
a Reddit user has got the perfect answer: why not make a reality show out of them? Think about the Amazing Race – wasn’t that really great? Now, just replace it with flat-earthers and give them the objective – find the edge of this world. Of course, they are not going to find it, but it would be amazing to watch them try and get to it. They will go to different exotic locations, mingle with people, and have local food. There will be a candid view of how they think and tie different concepts to strengthen their beliefs. They would probably measure the sun angles, try to find out the changes in the sun’s position just like the scientists of yesteryear tried to do. Maybe in due course, they will finally come to understand the falsity of their beliefs and debunk their own theory! At least, that would be something great to watch, as well as a relief.

How do they explain sunlight each day getting longer/shorter throughout the year? Or gravity/centrifugal force (I'm assuming they still think the world spins... but... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) and everything not being whipped off the edge? Centre of the earth is... ? Auuuuuuuugh!!!!
They make the pineapple pizza eaters seem semi-normal.
