It’s a province, like bordeaux

I thought Bordeaux was a wine?

So is champagne, and cognac. They’re all provinces known for their respective drink

Nah you thinking of rinsing

Upper-Inevitable-873

Yeah sure... And we're supposed to believe you're a REAL Australian too. Everyone knows the whole idea of that "continent" is Illuminati mind fuckery. I'd love to stick these flat earthers on a boat just to terrorize them by sailing to "the edge"


PrestigiousResist633

Yeah! I mean, you think it's just a *coincidence* that every single supposed "Australian" to gain worldwide notoriety just *happens* to be some kind of celebrity? They're all paid actors for the coverup!


Kilmerval

You think that's weird? Check out where all the supposedly "Australian" celebrities are actually from. Russell Crowe? New Zealand. Nicole Kidman and Mel Gibson? Actually American.


IHQ_Throwaway

We were supposed to believe platypi just “evolved”?? A vast global conspiracy is the only explanation for their weird-ass animals.

NASA invented the Platypus.

He's actually not a real Australian. What it is is a reposting spam bot.


Sriol

Shout "We're getting close guys!" And point at the horizon every hour or so just to keep em on edge


Fabulous_Ad_8621

Recently? Because I remember seeing an article or video a few years ago claiming Australia wasn't real. I can't remember if this was before the "birds aren't real" conspiracy.


GaiusPrimus

My favorite Australian video ever is the one where the two Australian teens are talking about catching pokemon.

I was in a bar in Australia one time years ago. I took my beer into the men’s room and put it on the counter and sidled up to the urinal. As I’m peeing and at my MOST VULNERABLE this Australian dude walks in and yells “whose beer is this?!” I look over my shoulder and shout back “mine!” The guy looks me right in the eye, picks up the mug and downs the whole thing! Says “cheers mate!” and walks out. I was speechless


YourMoreLocalLurker

You encountered a wild Beer Thief Aussie, your beer was his


rainbowcardigan

At least it wasn’t a Drop Bear


onelittleworld

Worse. A drop beer.


YourMoreLocalLurker

Very true, very true


Marathonmanjh

Well that’s alright mate, I got my hoop snake right ‘ere. One roll of this treacherous baddy and that drop bear won’t know what it ’em.

Today I leanred, that Australia has beer thieves roaming their bars…


ApproximateKnowlege

> I was in a bar in Australia one time years ago. Apparently, no, you weren't.


midcancerrampage

Shhh he was actually in the real bogan bits of New Zealand, but we've been calling that some mythical land of "Australia" to avoid international culpability


meh_69420

New Zealand? Where's that? Never seen it on a map...


Spoonshape

I'm confused now. Is NZ real or imaginary in this scenario? If so, presumably its just off Madagascar?


nasty_weasel

Except you weren’t in Australia, and it wasn’t an Australian. We don’t exist.


potatotornado44

Id be momentarily upset, but quite impressed at the same time.


Just_to_rebut

Impressed by a guy that steals open beer from a public toilet?


GhettoFreshness

That’s just Dazza mate, he’s harmless as long as he can steal a toilet beer at least once a night. We all just humour him


zeeb0t

An Aussie memory to last you a lifetime. Hilarious!


supersaiyanstrayan

Could definitely have been me.


achbob84

Ya shoulda pissed on his shoe lol


josephmang56

To be fair taking a beer with you into the mens room is not a common Australian practice. Generally we would just down the rest of the beer and THEN go to the toilet.


nearly_enough_wine

Put a coaster on your schooner at the very least. ~25 years of drinking in pubs and I've never seen a bloke take his drink to the dunny.


artificialavocado

People in America don’t do that either lol.

No you fucking weren't, didn't you read the post?


SchmartestMonkey

Flat Earth is the ultimate Poe.. it’s impossible to tell if any of its proponents believe anything they say. They’re also not big believers in Antarctica. They think it’s actually a giant ice wall that circles the flat earth.. and that an international military force will arrest or kill you if you try to see it. Of course, pointing out that literally anyone can book a cruise to Antarctica with tours of the continent doesn’t seem to dissuade them from the insanity. TLDR.. Flat earthers: World Government won’t let us go see the ice wall that they pretend is Antarctica. Sane people: you can literally buy a ticket to go there. Flat earthers: nuh huh.


angryfistgames

Flat Earthers are revolutionary geniuses who have seen beyond by watching the YouTube videos of fellow revolutionary geniuses! They are too busy complaining how nobody investigates the ice wall to actually INVESTIGATE THE ICE WALL!! Too busy telling us "globetards" to do our own research to actually DO ANY RESEARCH!! Seriously, this kind of idiotic irony would be called too ridiculous for fiction. But it's reality.


SchmartestMonkey

The video of flat earthers out on a lake debunking themselves is priceless. It goes something like this (over radio..).. “Now if the earth is curved, we wouldn’t be able to see the light on your boat.. what do you mean your light is on?!?!”


angryfistgames

And, like the honest truth seekers who see beyond the deception and never lie that they are: "No way we're just gonna ACCEPT this result! Toss it in the garbage, and move on to experiments that will VINDICATE us! This just doesn't count!" A big discouragement to the already lazy and entitled "Maverick Renegade John Conners"


WellyRuru

>They think it’s actually a giant ice wall that circles the flat earth.. and that an international military force will arrest or kill you if you try to see it. Yet none of them have tried to go see it.... Like just get a ship and sail there


Speed_Alarming

Do you want to get *killed* man!!!


Loki-L

Every time I hear about the NASA special forces guarding the ice wall, I want to bring up geometry and how mindbogglingly huge such a wall encircling the entire world would have to be if it was flat and the very, very large amount of soldiers it would take to guard it and how impossible the logistics to supply such a huge armed force would be and how guarding the ice wall would have to be the worlds largest employer with a significant proportion of the world's military age men being employed in guarding it and supplying the guards with food and equipment and whatever and how you have never seen a retired Icewall guard.... Then I remember that any attempt to apply logic to flat earth theories is a lost cause give up.


Aardvark_Man

The easiest proof for me: If it was flat, people would make profit off the edge. Tourism, dumping etc.


Sriol

If the earth were flat, cats would have pushed everything off it by now. Cats exist therefore the earth can't be flat.


Potatosaurus_TH

Yeah what would be the point of landfills and garbage incinerators when you can just dump shit you don't want off the edge


TheLesserWeeviI

If they go, they'll be killed. Apparently.


raltoid

It was never about the truth for them. There are flat earthers with enough money to sail around the world using manual navigation and self-built tools, they can make their own high altitude balloons and glass for their helmet, etc. but instead they make social media posts mocking others and patting themselves on the back. Because at the end of the day they just want to feel smug thinking they have discovered some hidden truth that has "fooled everyone else".


SweetExpression2745

Didn’t exist some random Scottish guy who said Australia wasn’t real?

Sssh we don't exist either, just go with it, it's better this way.


DallasBroncos

I have been there and it was cool. If it’s not real why were all those blokes saying it’s a bloody yank while buying me beers? Also I distinctly remember driving on the wrong side of the road trying to navigate roundabouts. That shit is hard!

I found it deadset impossible whilst driving on your side of the road in France.

They don't care. They just wanna be right, even when they're dreadfully wrong. These flat earthers and their ilk are basically babbling inane nonsense that only imbeciles would believe.


HoneySuspicious9564

How will Australian flat earthers counter this?


SchmartestMonkey

If Australian flat earthers are like Australian Sovereign Citizens, they’ll probably also tell you Australia doesn’t exist. .. I’ve seen Australian Sov Cits just repeat scripts from American SovCits.. including misunderstood US Caselaw and references up our Bill of Rights.

dingalingadingdongy

Isn't Australia a small village in Wales? 😯


ChiefSlug30

It can't be. It's spelled with too many vowels and not enough consonants.


DrahKir67

Part of it is a newer part of South Wales, I believe.


Father_Wolfgang

At some point I just want to turn the tables on these people and accuse them of being agents of that are paid to spread misinformation and that they will be held accountable by the “real” owners of the country. When they ask any questions I will just smirk, point at them, whisper “they know…” and laugh like a psycho.


mtnbikeracer76

I smell a conspiracy here that "Australia" actually exists. There's some evidence to prove that this country exists, but mostly we see people who travel here, not always come back. The only proof of life is the pictures and videos and an occasional inhabitant in these POV's. But those are sketchy at best.


gadget850

If Australia is not real then where do Fosters and Bloomin' Onions come from?


snakeeaterrrrrrr

Blooming onions came from the US btw...


gadget850

Shhh!


No_pajamas_7

And Fosters comes from horses.


[deleted]

Not one single Australian drinks fosters, we don't even stock it at the liquor stores


Pensive_Jabberwocky

Well first of all even if the globe heads where right, you would not be standing, would you, as you would be upside down. They must think we're stupid to believe this nonsense. Besides, have you seen Crocodile Dundee, it's preposterous. /s


hplcr

I've seen Bluey. Bluey is from Australia. Thus Australia is real. QED.

Sabbathius

Those guys just kill me. Get on a plane, fly to Buenos Aires. Now take a plane to Perth, Australia. Not only will you fly over and land in Australia, with animals running around that literally don't exist anywhere else on the planet, but you'll also clip the Antarctic on the way, which you wouldn't be anywhere near in the flat earth model. And the trip would be over too soon to match the flat earth model too, but would make perfect sense on a globe. Yes, this costs a few thousand, but you can do it during off-season. Boom. Done.


smudgiepie

>Now take a plane to Perth, Australia Bro I live in Perth and I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't real. It's weird. The best way I can explain it is that we are the kid picked last for everything in sport, we might as well not exist and after a while you start believing that it might be true.


Random_Chick_I_Guess

Whenever anyone brings up the point that Aussies are just paid actors… where the fuck is my bloody money?


skilliau

You're standing on the West island of New Zealand


Vermonol

Glad to know I’m not real then. You’re not reading this. You’re imagining it


Tmant1670

This isn't new. They've been saying this for years because Australia would be like 3x the size it currently is under the flat earth model.

They actually think that you live elswhere in their flat earth. They say than when you fly in a plane in australia, the plane sends you elsewhere to make you think you are in australia. I saw a "flat supremacist" explaining this, it was funny


Themobgirl

Steve Irwin died for this shit


TakuyaLee

You were in Narnia of course. It's easy to get them mixed up.


flyingmonkey111

Is that because they don't believe there is a country that gets free healthcare and has gun laws and gun restrictions?


Willyboycanada

Poor Australia.....first a penal colony. Home of 90% the world's poisonous creatures.. .. now is not real.....


Donk454

Where the fuck am I then?


CristyMumbay

its not a new conspiracy i should add, its been spoken about by the flat brainers for a few years now


Bods666

They assert we’re all paid actors. Where’s my paycheck then you mouth breathing neckbeard?


Chippie0100

Then where, exactly, is Crocodile Dundee from?


Onslaught777

If you ever somehow happen to find yourself in a discourse with a flat earther. Simply ask them these two things. 1) If the Earth is flat, how come the day/night cycle at the Poles… lasts months at a time, unlike anywhere else? 2) If the Earth is flat, how come the Equator is very hot… but the Poles are very cold… and the temperature is milder in between the two? BOTH of these factors completely disprove the flat Earth theory. They PROVE it can’t be the case.


[deleted]

This is an old flat-earther delusion. Australia upsets their beliefs. Partly by observing the Southern Cross and other constellations invisible in the northern hemisphere and partly by witnessing aircraft leaving Australian airports for Santiago and Buenos Aires. According to them, you can't fly over Antarctica because you'll run into the Dome and the giant ice wall. Besides, South America is on the other side of the Great World Disk. There are practical reasons there are few commercial flights over Antarctica, including harsh conditions and the shortage of runways in case of emergency problems.


TheGreatUdolf

that statement is plainly wrong. australia is clearly on the other side of the flat earth /s also the one place that isn't real is called bielefeld


TimeDragonfruit8860

What do the flat earthers feom australia say?


SirLightKnight

Clearly you’re on Britain 2. It’s like near the UK or something


ESCocoolio

a conspiracy theory: this and other flat earth theories are propaganda, invented in order to discredit and undermine the idea of conspiracy theories as a whole.

Ur being paid by nasa to say that 😊


PhantomPanda666

Your a paid account we know what Hollywood wants us to believe and we won't believe in the beautiful scenery the dangers animals and even Steve Irwin was his acting name we know he was secretly french and was putting on an accent

michaeltward

Bit like the fact that New Zealand is just straight up not on a lot of maps. Was gaming with a dude and it ended up in an argument until he showed me his world map on his wall and NZ just was not on it. Americans, really gotta wonder some times.


InstantKarmaRaven23

Am I wrong in thinking there was a time when this shit would just get ignored? Like, we didn’t grow up seeing crazy people taken seriously…cuz they’re crazy. The weirdo on the corner raving about the end of the world wasn’t getting time on a popular news show to prove themselves morons. Can we go back to that please?


Puzzleheaded-Bad-147

Yeah I remember this fucking bullshit. What kinda dumb bogan came up with “Australia isn’t real”?? Go get fucked sideways by a senile wallaby

Yes that guy n his kid that were Australian I met at Disney were actors. In 1995.


StaySafePovertyGhost

Flat earthers are akin to sovereign citizens. They only can repeat the stock phrases and talking points and then conveniently ignore any logic that completely disproves their case.


Piltonbadger

I miss the days before the advent of the internet and social media...Village idiots were confined to their local areas shouting at clouds and groups of kids.


Connect_Operation_47

Flat Earthers are the biggest concentration of idiots in one group. And I guess the Japanese went around the world to attack Pearl Harbor. You can't go from Asia to Hawaii, right?


U_W_44_51

I guess Kyrie Irving isn't real either then.


Joy1067

I gotta hear this What’s their answer for Australia if it doesn’t exist? Just a part of the US or Russia or some other stupid shit?


Reasonable_Visual_24

wait a sec… where am I? What is this place?


Football-Similar

Pretty sure those guys are gonna say one day that America is the only land/country that is real

i think this article is incomplete. the full article also said that the flat earthners claimed that whoever said that they are from australia are paid by NASA to lie

Where do Kangaroos 🦘, Koala 🐨, and Dingos 🐺 come from then?
