Earth: Flat or Globe? [View all]

In light of the thread on the completely false, made up “NSA audit” of the 2024 election getting, as of this writing, 136 recs, I thought it was important to take measure of the health of the reality based community here at DU.

Thread I’m referencing is here:

If you consider this poll to be important, or at least entertaining, please rec so that others may see and participate.

I'm waiting for the NSA audit on the shape of the earth to be released before I make up my mind.
