Flat-Earther B.o.B Thinks ‘The Moon Generates Its Own Light’

Flat-Earther B.o.B Thinks ‘The Moon Generates Its Own Light’

August 21, 2017 (August 21, 2017) // Riot Fest

As many of you may have witnessed with your own eyes, a solar eclipse happened across most of the United States today, and as many of you may have learned in kindergarten the earth is a sphere.

Well-known rapper and astronomer Bobby Ray Simmons Jr., aka B.o.B, isn’t so sure because B.o.B is a flat-earther.

What is a ‘flat-earther’? A person who believes that despite all facts and evidence and science that prove the earth is spherical in shape, that the earth is actually flat.

Yes, that’s a real thing people believe. In fact, “The mission of the Flat Earth Society is to promote and initiate discussion of Flat Earth theory as well as archive Flat Earth literature. Our forums act as a venue to encourage free thinking and debate.” The website continues, “Come join us in our forums and get started learning about the greatest lie ever told.”

Basically, ‘flat-earthers’ believe the earth is flat and there is a massive worldwide conspiracy between the government, NASA, shadow organizations, and lizard people probably, to keep the truth hidden.

Do you think science is fake? Do you believe YouTube videos more than textbooks? Do things you don’t understand scare you? Flat Earth Trutherism might be for you.

Did you see the moon cover up the sun today? No you did not. That was not the moon.

that same blue dot appeared on everyone’s pics… it’s not the moon https://t.co/jczkWGcee9

Did you know the moon shines because its surface reflects light from the sun? False. “The moon actually generates its own light.”

according to a textbook yes, but the moon actually generates its own light https://t.co/PyUO2SHdmf
