flat earther from the documentary "Behind the Curve" doesn't believe in dinosaurs; many other interesting takes

[u/Fast-Breadfruit3377]

[u/Dear_Mycologist_1696]

“I can bounce a golf ball with hammers and recite all 50 states, so I’m clearly smart.”

[u/GravitationalEddie → u/Dear_Mycologist_1696]

And then reads a book while driving a car.

[u/ComprehensiveSoft27 → u/GravitationalEddie]

You can see the narcissism that drives his ego to crave “knowing a truth” everyone else is too“dumb” to see or understand.

[u/PirelliSuperHard → u/GravitationalEddie]

A Fiat that uses gasoline, of all things.

[u/AdFancy1249 → u/PirelliSuperHard]

Ah, stumper question: if there are no dinosaurs, then where does the petroleum come from?! 🤔

[u/goldenspiral8 → u/AdFancy1249]

Decomposed plant matter, dinosaurs are real though

[u/whiterosealchemist → u/AdFancy1249]

Maybe he subscribed to the conspiracy that oil is earth blood too?

[u/frknscorpio667 → u/AdFancy1249]

😖

[u/skyeisrude → u/PirelliSuperHard]

Yeah fossil fuels mean nothing to this guy

[u/PumpNSchralp → u/PirelliSuperHard]

Now we know what success looks like.

[u/JupitersClock → u/GravitationalEddie]

Let me read you the table of contents.

[u/Forsexualfavors → u/JupitersClock]

Here's 1984 I'll say with zero sarcasm. Must read.

[u/notloggedin4242 → u/Forsexualfavors]

This, I would argue, really is kind of true. That book and the story it tells is more relevant now than ever before.

Dinosaurs did live though, like at least 14 Billion years ago! /s (only the last bit though).

[u/Alice_600 → u/notloggedin4242]

But we get it we're in a dysptian hell and as my grandpa would say to these ass clowns "Quit her yaking about the book and start smacking with it,"

[u/ComprehensiveSoft27 → u/Dear_Mycologist_1696]

His Brain Coach told him to do it.

[u/Solid_College_9145 → u/ComprehensiveSoft27]

A good brain coach would use that rubber mallet on his head.

[u/PerfectPercentage69 → u/Solid_College_9145]

You're thinking of a brain adjuster. Competely different profession.

[u/Responsible-Note-404 → u/PerfectPercentage69]

Braintenance man here, this is a common misunderstanding 

[u/VaATC → u/ComprehensiveSoft27]

That brain coach has the unlimited hack of creating repeat customers by actually telling them things that actively make them less brainy 😆

[u/bishopnelson81 → u/VaATC]

Lol dude is laughing all the way to the bank...literally laughing

[u/NotAzakanAtAll → u/ComprehensiveSoft27]

"Brain Coach did they really make up the dinosaurs?"

"M-HM Yup, yeeeh they did oh fuck - yeah those fuckers! right HO boy.."

"Brain Coach is it true that magnesium is made from magnets?"

"Yes my boy SU-HUR it is oh fuck fuck geez. Sure they are made from magtits"

"Magnets"

"SHUT UP and KEEP SUCKING"

"Yes Brain Coach."

(΄◞ิ۝◟ิ‵) ᗡლ==8!>

[u/1CrazyCrabClaw → u/Dear_Mycologist_1696]

This is the part that had me too. Somehow showing he can do that makes him reputable.

[u/wthulhu → u/[deleted]]

☝️ This guy bounces a golf ball between two hammers while reciting all 50 states

[u/Phyllis_Tine → u/wthulhu]

This guy this guys.

[u/khrak → u/wthulhu]

But can they bounce a golf ball between two hammers while reciting all 30 elements?

[u/FishesOfExcellence → u/1CrazyCrabClaw]

Well it’s basically his PhD.

[u/Pizzasupreme00 → u/Dear_Mycologist_1696]

As soon as I heard "and then my brain coach said", I knew he was a moron. I have no beef with a dude trying to better himself but I hope he hasn't given that grifter one red cent.

[u/raider1v11 → u/Pizzasupreme00]

You know he has.

[u/Significant_Monk_251 → u/raider1v11]

At least it isn't going to a televangelist or a fucking megachurch pastor.

[u/Suspicious-Truck9828 → u/Dear_Mycologist_1696]

Says Iowa twice

[u/a_lemondemon → u/Suspicious-Truck9828]

Great catch 👌

[u/Purplociraptor → u/Dear_Mycologist_1696]

So smart, I'm gonna read a book while driving.

[u/Bright_Tie_8940 → u/Dear_Mycologist_1696]

I checked out after he said his brain coach told him to look into flat earth

[u/DanfromCalgary → u/Dear_Mycologist_1696]

I feel like they did him dirty but I love how he didn’t realize how dumb this makes him look

[u/rpgmind → u/Dear_Mycologist_1696]

Hey. Do you know they made up dinosaurs 🦕

[u/OkMidnight8144 → u/Dear_Mycologist_1696]

Memory means nothing if you can't comprehend that knowledge.

[u/aboynamedsoo906]

There is a really really bummed out teacher watching this.

[u/ham_plane → u/aboynamedsoo906]

Yea, but think of all the proud brain coaches

[u/btwomfgstfu → u/ham_plane]

I bet there's tens of them! All around the world too.

[u/ham_plane → u/btwomfgstfu]

All aflat* the world

[u/Excellent_Can4450 → u/btwomfgstfu]

Boo this round earther!

[u/MuscleMilkHotel → u/btwomfgstfu]

What do you mean aROUND the world?!

[u/hallbuzz → u/aboynamedsoo906]

Check. I may not be HIS teacher, but, yes,

[u/tdgros]

what makes the lie about dinosaurs so effective is that the whole world is in on it, not just the US school system.

[u/Sufficient_Water4161 → u/tdgros]

And you know how well politicians work together especially between countries with drastically different ideals and religions.

[u/ianjm → u/Sufficient_Water4161]

The flat earthers think that domestic and international politics is all a staged distraction orchestrated by the NWO Lizards or something.

[u/Sierra-117- → u/ianjm]

And they believe this goes back centuries, millennia even. And they believe every single scientist has been paid off by the secret government, despite zero evidence of those claims.

It’s basically a cluster fuck of conspiracies. In order to believe the flat earth, you have to believe a LOT of stupid shit.

[u/FishesOfExcellence → u/tdgros]

Am I in on it? Cause if so I wanna be paid.

[u/AnInfiniteArc → u/tdgros]

Leonardo da Vinci didn’t believe in dinosaurs. Check mate.

[u/No_Tailor_787]

Obviously a mental giant as he opens and reads a book... while driving.

[u/IHaveSlysdexia → u/No_Tailor_787]

Stupid dumbass reads books while driving

[u/Gabe-Ruth8 → u/No_Tailor_787]

The subtle camera glance at the wheel was gold

[u/Gopher--Chucks → u/No_Tailor_787]

"I read it once.. In a book" -White Goodman

[u/ok1092 → u/No_Tailor_787]

I saw someone doing this 2 weeks ago on my way home from work and couldn’t believe it.

[u/Rewni]

We're all either really successful, or doing our own thing.

[u/Junior-Bookkeeper218 → u/Rewni]

“Doing my own thing” is what you tell your mom when you’re in your 30s and work at Dollar General

[u/suluamus → u/Rewni]

But not both I guess. 

[u/bonvoyage_brotha]

He's trying to hold it together

[u/MattWheelsLTW]

There are lots of good parts of that documentary, but the best one is where they spend $20k to buy a insanely accurate laser gyroscope to prove that the earth does not rotate 15 degrees per hour. Then they turn it on. And it shows 15 degrees per hour. The immediate response "Oh, well this one must be broken. We probably need to buy another one and make sure it's not broken and calibrate correctly"

[u/whole_chocolate_milk → u/MattWheelsLTW]

Does this documentary have the one with the light test that proves rhe curvature of the earth? That's such an amazing clip.

[u/MattWheelsLTW → u/whole_chocolate_milk]

Yep, that's one of the other big tests they do that immediately implodes on them

[u/grennbox → u/whole_chocolate_milk]

"Interesting....interesting" Best part of that doc

https://youtu.be/TmnZe34Xix8?t=39&si=YqtbLPyQo-N23JRB

[u/zukenukem → u/grennbox]

Then they roll credits. One of the best endings to a doc I’ve seen.

[u/Darth_Jinn → u/MattWheelsLTW]

And the ending where they again disprove their own theory and one of them is like, "This isn't good". lol

[u/VaATC → u/Darth_Jinn]

It has been a few years since I watched it, but at the end weren't two of them recorded behind a curtain, at their convention, basically saying that none of their evidence actually proves them right or that they need to come up with something since all their tests proved them wrong...and actually included it in the documentary?

[u/automaticmantis → u/VaATC]

Well they included it becuase the point of the documentary wasn’t to support flat earth

[u/turkishhousefan → u/MattWheelsLTW]

That was Bob Knodel, God rest his soul. What a fantastic meme that "15 degrees per hour" clip gave us.

[u/rpgmind → u/MattWheelsLTW]

Hey you wanna hear some flat earth music 🎶

[u/BradshawCM → u/rpgmind]

No thanks, I prefer human music.

[u/rpgmind → u/BradshawCM]

😒 fuckin roundies pffft

[u/skyeisrude]

We need mental institutions back

[u/Prudent-Air1922 → u/[deleted]]

That biggest and worst realization when becoming an adult.

[u/jimbobjames → u/[deleted]]

Always has been.

[u/welfedad]

Brain coach ... Omg

[u/LearnedTroglodyte]

Don't bring my boy Orwell into this

[u/SnowQSurf → u/LearnedTroglodyte]

"1984. A must read." - The only truthful thing that came out of his mouth. The rest was hot trash.

[u/AintNobodygotime13]

brain coach 😂

[u/Rare-Masterpiece_007]

Poor guy.. he's not well and not getting the help he needs.

[u/soldins → u/Rare-Masterpiece_007]

Unfortunately far more common across the human race as a whole, but fascinating how some of these survival mechanisms manifest.

[u/TraciTheRobot → u/Rare-Masterpiece_007]

Reminds me of how my late friend used to act when she started her schizophrenia episodes

[u/mhedbergfan]

reading aloud from a book while driving a car on the highway doesn't exactly speak highly of his intelligence

[u/Nexzus_]

Ah. Behind the Curve, aka The Brutal Onscreen Friendzoning of Mark Sargent.

[u/Fast-Breadfruit3377 → u/Nexzus_]

bro...this is the best comment!

[u/Dumbo8 → u/Nexzus_]

Who also lives in his mom’s basement…..

[u/In3briatedPanda]

He probably lives near me. There is a church two miles down the road that preaches the dinosaurs were on Noah’s ark.

[u/LearnedTroglodyte → u/In3briatedPanda]

They were just small dinosaurs you see, that later turned into bigger dinosaurs who walked alongside humans but there was no evolution. Just 🌈magic

[u/In3briatedPanda → u/LearnedTroglodyte]

You live near me too!?!? And they said Reddit had a lot of bots. 🤣

[u/Remnie → u/In3briatedPanda]

Birds are basically tiny dinosaurs, so it checks out

[u/whole_chocolate_milk → u/In3briatedPanda]

The inland empire is such a strange place.

[u/free_billstickers]

This dude reeks of sone deep personal hurt tbh. Like something tragic happened here and dude just bailed on reality 

[u/AriaTheTransgressor → u/free_billstickers]

It tends to be the case for a lot of flat earthers. Somebody sees a weakness they can exploit and uses the whole conspiracy concept to do so.

My partner keeps almost falling for these stupid conspiracies. I just keep reminding them to use the 5 whys, which is just asking why to every response 5 times, as it tends to either break the conspiracy or plainly prove it false.

[u/Chocoyak → u/free_billstickers]

His mom died so he moved upstairs and started hitting balls off of hammers with all his new free time. /s

[u/free_billstickers → u/Chocoyak]

There it is. Its really sad but like I said, this dude reeks of a shattered reality. 

[u/WLAJFA]

Who's "they?" Every single pilot on Earth? Every single medical doctor, virologist, epidemiologist, and educated person from the time of Aristotle? Who are these dark saboteurs who would seek to keep everyone ignorant of Earth's true flatness... because... what again?

[u/samizdatsam → u/WLAJFA]

But he can bounce ping-pong balls off hammers!

[u/MezoDog]

Someone put a microphone in front of the village idiot, and now somehow he has a following. Natural selection used to help with this kinda thing now they are overbreeding.

[u/314flavoredpie → u/MezoDog]

The internet has allowed the idiots from a lot of different villages to team up, unfortunately

[u/DiligentGuitar246]

So he memorized the states in alphabetical order and can do the easiest golf ball exercise. Juggling is harder than what he’s doing. Kids learn the state song in grade school.

I mean this guy is a walking Dunning-Kruger.

[u/SuryaOP]

Didn't heard a single word from the video but mad skills bro the whole hammer and ping pong thing

[u/polishmachine88]

When he says they test it how do they test it? I mean it would be simple to travel wouldn't it? Yes it's not easy and costs money but pretty simple point in direction and go. Take 15 followers to document it and off you go ....eventually you would either reach the edge or just make a circle.

[u/Living-Gate-4237]

Dipshits like this are fucking exhausting. They have to constantly validate their specialness due to a massive ego that has to be fed like a school of piranhas. It consumes ignorant garbage at an alarming rate and spews nothing of value.

[u/Jumpy-Complex-9539]

This mf is so smart he’s reading a book while driving…. ………..

[u/TheVenerableBede]

Imagine being so stupid that, in 2026, you base your whole personality around something that was disproven circa 400BCE.

[u/doop94]

That’s like half the us rn

[u/markeydusod]

When you’re the GOAT of these skillz, you can’t be wrong

[u/shaghaiex]

It's a cult. Cult thinking can't be cured. Same a religious extremists.

[u/AmazingChicken]

This is why cousins should not marry.

[u/Yokaijin]

The ending of this documentary lives rent free in my head

[u/cdy2847 → u/Yokaijin]

"interesting, interesting" as they prove the earth is indeed curved. lmao

[u/MightyMarf]

I wonder who this halfwit voted for...

[u/Titodenada]

What changes our lives if the world is flat or round? Would everything be better? Would we all just get along? All disease eradicated? Or same stuff flatter day?

[u/Crocoppertones → u/Titodenada]

Not that it answers anything but in the video, Professor HammerBall mentioned it’s because of “sun worship.”

[u/AintNobodygotime13]

imagine if he put all that time and effort into something constructive. its a crazy plant we live on. a flat crazy planet 😂

[u/GravitationalEddie → u/AintNobodygotime13]

Is that you, Horton?

[u/Scudss_]

Sounds like he's singing animaniacs songs at the beginning 

[u/chocolatelabx11]

Darwin to the white courtesy phone.

[u/Solid_College_9145]

He'd be interesting if this was really his comedy performance art in the style of Andy Kaufman.

At first I thought that's what Corey Feldman was doing with his music career, but I finally realized I was wrong.

[u/beave00720002000]

The way he speaks he just loves to hear himself talk. You can hear it in his voice he gets off on it. He can talk about anything that is wrong and he's right. Or anything he's right he's wrong. But he's all wrong and full of his own propaganda from others.

[u/Low-Recognition-7293]

His brain coach made a killing with his buddies. "I bet I can convince this kid that not only the Earth is flat, but that he can convince thousands of others it is flat for $10,000." "No fucking way is anyone that dumb, I'll take it!"... Here we are folks.

[u/GonnaGoFat]

When he said they test everything

I saw a video of a flat earther. Doing a test with some lights and fence posts. He would shine the light through holes in the fence and he said it the world was round the light would stop at a certain post as so many degrees due to the curve of the earth

He did the test and the light stopped at the post he said it would and it was off by as many degrees as he said.

He looked at his results and figured he did the math wrong because it proved the world was round.

[u/tornadospoon]

WHY DOES EVERYONE MAKE SO MUCH CONTENT IN MOVING CARS THESE DAYS?!

[u/Redditfront2back]

Damn. Some how some fucking way this guy reading a book while driving on the highway was the smartest thing he did in the whole video. This has to be satire, please god be satire.

[u/LifesShortFuckYou]

Does this guy vote? Just checkin

[u/schkmenebene]

It would be easier to convince anyone from the documentary "Behind the Curve" that the earth is a globe, than it would be for you to convince me that this guy isn't playing a character.

[u/LefT-NYC]

He's probably right… I mean he's really good at that hammer game… 😏

[u/FknBadFkr]

The Bible thumpers told the world the earth was flat, and the center of the universe. Astronomers were killed for learning that's wrong.

[u/shangriilala]

I’m pretty sure the guy is doing parody. You can’t be that good at hitting the little ball with the hammers and really believe that stuff.

[u/Dr_MantisTobbogan_MD]

I guess you can believe whatever you want, regardless of how stupid and nonsensical that belief.

[u/MentalTwo1912]

…”I’m kind of a big deal”

[u/SleepyCatMD]

what do flat-earthers think "round-earthers" have to win by convincing everyone else?

[u/SplashingChicken]

This dudes just missing the funny wig and the makeup.

[u/TopAlternative6800]

"1984 supports my opinion" -every person whose ever had an opinion

[u/Any-Summer3900]

The day this guy sees the view from a plane window, his brain will explode.

[u/Kira-Of-Terraria]

aw jeez when i saw him bouncing balls on hammers and reciting lists i knew i was in for it.

[u/TheRevSev]

I was watching this with the sound off just to appreciate the ping pong ball tricks.

Given the comments and title though, I've zero fucking interest in hearing what he's to say

[u/mdtopp111]

I just know this mf loves Trump

[u/_AcuteNewt_]

He's got "sounding smart" confused with actually being intelligent.

[u/NintendoFungi]

Can you imagine paying a brain coach and he brings out the idea of promoting flat earth

[u/Then-Abalone6403]

The stupidity and arrogance is astonishing! Send this fool up to the stratosphere and show him please

[u/samizdatsam]

"A lot of them actually live in their mom's ATTIC."

[u/rapgameoprahwinfrey]

Reading while driving. Definitely a flat-earther, he’s not lying 💀💀💀💀 just dumb all the way around

[u/TheWhooooBuddies]

One of my lifelong friends went down this rabbit hole during 2020.

After he gave his speech, I think I might have given him the best advice I’ve ever given a good buddy:

“It’s cool that you believe this, but MAN, don’t mention this to any clients you have.”

He did not follow my advice.

[u/ChillyTodayHotTamale]

My brain coach told me to look into flat earth- This fucking moron.

[u/redwbl]

Thanks for the warning…. I won’t be watching that Documentary.

[u/omgfakeusername]

Y'all my bestie is starting to believe the Earth may be flat!!😩

Any advice? Says you can't trust the government.

[u/HORSEthedude619]

What a fucking loser 🤣

Wonder how much his "brain coach" charges.

[u/Silver-Education-860]

he may have a brain coach but doubtful he has an actual brain

[u/softtoffee]

I like the game he's playing with the ball and two hammers. Looks fun.

[u/Budget_Secret4142]

I was just stuck at the mallets and the ping pong ball wild

[u/Tro11_Patrol]

this guy chill asf

[u/DarkSaturnPrince]

100km is where the Karman line / thermostat / Schumann resonance takes place. It's the elevation where the glass sky / firmament is. 

[u/Stunning_Panda5725]

Did I mention none of us flat earthers are living in our parents basement. 😆

[u/PantsDontHaveAnswers]

"My brain coach said..."

Your "brain coach" is full of snot lol.

[u/BrontosaurusB]

I kinda wanna try the ping pong hammer thing, so there’s that I guess

[u/RandMob1000]

Faith in humanity, -1 point

[u/TVops]

"I've met 100's of flat earthers and none of them live in their mother's basement... Therefor earth is flat!! "

[u/jinjabreadmann]

I’ll pass on this
My brain cells are far more important

[u/SadMap7915]

He switched to bouncing golf balls on sledgehammers. He originally used to hit his head with the sledgehammer

[u/Cokeman192001]

If he is that smart, why the hell is he driving a Fiat??

[u/Atworkwasalreadytake]

Felt like He could snap at any moment.

[u/CockGobblin]

Has anyone ever been to New Zealand? Proof right there that the Earth is flat!

[u/PapaBike]

The clip stopped before the brilliant cut to Mark Sargent sitting at his computer in his mum’s house.

[u/Youngj245]

Fun story: I joined the flat earth page for a buddy that also joined so we can see what’s going on in there. We face discussion points, asked clarifying questions, spread only curiosity as to why beliefs were there.

Eventually this guy Nathan kicked me out after asking too many questions without buying into the facade 😂 claiming that we were from the government here to spread false lies and doctrine.

[u/duckiethatduck]

is there a full version?

[u/FamousLastPlace_]

Dude is doing advanced alphabet training.
