Well you aren't the only one, so maybe I should have laid the sarcasm on more clearly. I thought most people would read the title as tongue-in-cheek.

Honestly the internet has made me paranoid about who is and isn’t serious and who may or may not be a stupid twat

It's The Picard Maneuver..! This is a safe space, Mon Ami!

Sorry captain, but I've heard a lot of Flat Earthers that use that exact phrase and act like its a gotcha that the Earth supposedly moves with 1675 km/h (it doesn't, it rotates at a 15 degrees per hour drift ^Thanks^ ^bob^) can't be felt.

Wow, I'm surprised they even try to explain it mathematically at all. Like, if you're going to believe something crazy, numbers clearly aren't going to make or break your conviction.

Oh yeah, they use loony toons maths to explain certain aspect of reality while a globe earth would explain it all at the same time.
