Whoops... there it is...

@lednabwm Even the ancient Greeks figured out that the Earth was spherical with a couple of sticks and a shadow FFS!

Flat Earthers have nothing to fear but sphere itself.

@NormanDunbar @lednabwm And worked out the circumference to well within 10% IIRC!

@HairyChris @NormanDunbar @lednabwm Columbus was almost as bad as the flat earthers, but in the opposite direction... Worst navigator. I guess he didn't go all the way to the opposite and equivalent extreme of 'the earth is a point'.

Instead of turning Columbus Day into Indigenous Peoples Day, maybe we should use it to memorialize math screwups and their consequences. Indigenous Peoples Day could be July 4.

@lednabwm @HairyChris @NormanDunbar right? Throwing off the yoke of colonial oppression, in order to better engage in colonial oppression
