Not to be outdone, a lot of older folks also believe the world is flat. Some will even build a rocket and blast themselves into the sky to prove it. But for now let’s focus on those damn kids!
According to a poll on YouGov, which polled 8,215 adults, only 66 percent of 18-24-years-old agree that the earth is a nice round shape. The rest believe that we’re all walking on a flat earth and NASA is obviously hiding something from us for some reason. Although, according to the poll, more than half of those ‘flat’ people the earth is flat would call themselves “very religious.”
Now perhaps some of the folks who answered that poll were trying to troll us, but regardless, we’ve seen plenty of people come out and say they think the world is flat. Even rapper B.O.B. I think it’s time millennials put down the food and instead pick up a science book. What are they going to believe next? That there’s a Space Force? Who would even suggest such a thing?
