A GoFundMe-campaign to prove that the Earth is flat.

Rapper and adherent to an antiquated cosmography, B.o.B. won't stop until he proves once and for all that the earth is flat (which means never, because it isn't.)

Last week the rapper launched a GoFundMe page in an effort to raise $200,000 to help "B.o.B. find the curve!" The site says that the donations will go towards the purchase and launch of multiple satellites, all of them designed to help the writer of "Nothin' on You" determine once and for all if we live on a disk or a globe. For those who just want to rubberneck this whole business, B.o.B. "will be keeping you updated with step-by-step documentation of the process!" via a website.

Haha, that's stupid. Everybody knows that the Earth looks round from space because camera-lenses are round. (That's an actual argument of the flat-earthers I once found on Twitter.)

3. LOL. Don't need a rocket for the satellites, just push 'em off the edge.

4. Everyone knows the Earth is round and flat.

The map clearly shows this.

5. If the earth is round and flat, how come maps are square?

[democratisphere]

6. Paper is square, not round. When did you ever see round copy paper?

[Ohiya]

7. I wonder if he understands negative numbers...

... because I'll donate -$1,000 to this campaign.
