Hey folks,
So I recently came across this "Official Flat Earth and Globe Discussion" group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/OfficialFlatEarthAndGlobeDiscussion/ ) and decided since I've spent time in Antarctica (5 months over the past few years), I'd post some photos/videos and answer skepticisms with facts. The response has been way more hilarious than I expected.
Join the group to get in on the discussion!!

Any comments or questions on NS?

Here are links to my posts:

I actually feel fucked up reading these people's comments. They're so dead set on the Earth being flat. Maybe I'm just round-earth shill but these people are blowing me away

Yep, I'm a Twin Otter F/O at KBA. It's been a great job for the past few years.

Oh they're very serious haha.
I'm a Twin Otter pilot and our company has contracts with different governments and organizations so we have 16 or so planes in Antarctica each Antarctic summer.
There are actually lots of jobs at McMurdo and South Pole Stations, it's probably pretty easy to get the more "unskilled" jobs like janitor, kitchen helper, equipment operator, etc etc with the National Science Foundation.

I see you brought your skis! How many GNAR points do you get for that? Enough that I'm going to ask you right here if you are going back and if you are going to help me ski on the bottom of this giant beer can we call the earth.

I counted it as 69 gnar points. If you have a boat load of cash to spend, you can book a trip with Antarctic Logistics and Expeditions ( https://antarctic-logistics.com/ ) or Antarctic Logistics Centre International ( http://www.alci.co.za/ ). The company I work for has contracts doing the flying for both of them so I could possibly fly ya to a ski spot. I'll be back on the ice in October or November this year.

What are the dimensions of the flat Earth? Like how thick is it? How deep of a hole would I need to dig to fall out the bottom of it? Is there an atmosphere on the bottom side? If I were to dig a hole to the bottom would I have to dangle from the bottom of it, or would I be able to stand upside down? These are questions I would ask on the Facebook group, but I don't have one. Somebody, please, I want to convert. I need these answers

Personally, I can think of way better things to spend money on BUT Antarctica is a very cool (pun intended) and wild place. Definitely worth going if you can swing a job or can justify the cost of going with a tour organization.

Yeah. Theres only one trip of those sorts i might do and thats touring iraq, iran, and Afghanistan.

Also well moving out of my apartment today found out my neighbor is going down to be a baker for the winter/sh summer.

I gotta apply for some stuff. After riding 100+ days in africa the need to ski Antarctica is pretty high. Unreasonable probably but yolo or whatever.
