It is said that if you cannot beat them, you should join them; or, at least in the case of flat-earthers, indulge them.

The claim that the earth is flat is clearly one of the most ridiculous things some people have ever heard. But letting believers of the flat earth theory come together to form a live television show where they search for the edge of the earth would be even more hilarious.

Many people think that such a show would also settle this absurd debate once and for all. This might not work out as intended. Some flat earth believers think that the edges of the earth are heavily guarded by the world's strongest military powers. To them, the earth is boxed within massive walls of ice.

This must be why some Reddit users recommend that these people be flown to the north and south poles where they can begin their vain search for the edges of the earth.

But such suggestions are starting to make it apparent that a television show for flat earth believers would be more expensive than they first imagined.

Obviously, the earth is spherical in shape, and there is overwhelming evidence of this fact.

But claims by some people that the earth is flat are logic-bending and baffling, and the object of many jokes.

The debate was, in fact, settled several years ago when Christopher Columbus went on a voyage that did not see him fall off the edge of the earth.

As far back as the third century, it is believed that people were well aware that the earth was spherical in shape. Several centuries ago, there was overwhelming evidence that the earth was round and not flat.

So, the fact that there are people today who think the earth is flat is baffling. And turning their misplaced belief into a reality show could make for a very interesting and unique form of entertainment for us all. If only this practical joke was more affordable!
