Hot Take: Flat Earthers should be banished to orbit. (lemmy.world)

Madeline: Science denial really grinds my metaphorical gears, and Flat Earthers are some of the most egregious about it. So manhandle them into strait jackets and shove them in the damn rocket already.

That doesn’t sound at all fair. Why should they get trips to orbit and I don’t ?

No one said anything about life support or return.

Just a rocket, a straight jacket, and right off into space you go. Depending on how many they cram in a rocket, there's a chance they'll have enough oxygen to see the spherical earth, shattering their weak minds, and succumbing to hypoxia, death, evacuating their bowels, and their corpses floating around in space, buried in their own shit and piss, boiling from solar radiation, becoming the first stew in space, before burning up on reentry.
