That kind of idiocy can’t be dealt with.

I think you feed into their chaos-mongering when you try to climb onto the teeter-totter with them.

Now you must do penance.

There is a finite amount of attention in the universe.
You wasted some of it. You must atone for your sin.

Your penance will be: for the next 48 hours you will seek no attention.

Ramen.

Ramen.

or simply google, professor dave.

Or even flat earth.

Dave is amazing and wonderful. What you will learn from watching his videos is not only how stupid and idiotic flat earthers are, but how resistant they are to facts. Meanwhile. Professor Dave's videos are very entertaining.

Essentially, flat earthers have minimal to no understanding of science, and cannot be reasoned with. So engage with them at your peril.

Just make fun of them and move on.

then laugh and laugh and laugh as you walk away.

Can't fix crazy, can only ridicule it.

It’s a joke they have on everyone else.
Or they’re crazy.

I just started on twitter, and it was a real shock to my system seeing people post such absurd stuff. It took a while for me to realize that nobody posting there really wanted to be educated. I was only hoping to convince the lurkers. Oh well.

The trolls just want to wind you up, and the true believers are motivated by deep emotional need that is impervious to rational thinking.

they believe that God created man on earth at the center of the universe, and the sun circles the flat earth. For them, admitting that the earth is round is like admitting that God does not exist. With a lot of conspiracy theories, people are choosing to believe them rather than admitting something else. For instance, admitting that the 2020 election wasn't stolen is admitting that Trump might be lying. They are choosing to believe the conspiracy theory rather than using rational thought.

Never Wrestle with a Pig. You Both Get Dirty and the Pig Likes It.

Flat earthers and fake lunar landers are the pigs. Engaging them on twitter or anyplace else is wrestling with them. They like getting you worked up.

It's best for your mental health to walk away and I'd suggest closing your twitter account too.

Btw this should be in everyone's bookmark list, from many many many years ago:

I just thought I was doing a service to those on the fence, who needed to be enlightened. Perhaps nobody on twitter is on the fence.
