The idea people thought the world was flat appears in the US as a part of Washington Irving's agrandisment of Columbus. The first person to make a decent guess at size was Eratosthenes, and he died a century and a half BC.

Now you're just being silly. Evidence that the world is round was trivially easy for people to see. Sailors knew it because it's why you see the masts of ships on the horizon before you see the hulls. It's also why when you walk to a town the first thing you generally see is the spire.

Comedically would also do, though.

I'd like the secret third option of "Heroin is a hell of a drug." please.

RFK JR: “ADD, ADHD, Tourette syndrome, Narcolepsy, Autism.. All of these are injuries that I never heard of when I was a kid.”

There’s a reason for that, Bobby:

Oh, American centrists are so far to the right on a global scale that you can look left to Americans by being a centre right European or Australian.

One step from Aktion T4.

Here in Australia they are. Free pair every two years. Gap payment for cool frames or high density glass.

Asperger literally thought his type of autistic should be spared for the good if the Reich. Elon's got his carveout ready.

It's two steps from labelling us useless eaters.
