No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
I think it would depend on the individual. Some would admit it, once they see the whole globe through that glass it would be like trying to say apples don't exist in response to someone handing you an apple. Their senses would override the belief. They might not be very thrilled to admit it...
Then there would be the people that are fanatics about it... They would probably get hysterical, or check out mentally, or get violent, or some other sort of emotional break. I would also guess these people would be unwilling to go into space in the first place.
They combust.
i remember some flat earther attempted building a rocket and was successful, except it had no way to land and yeah...
Oh, you think the window is fake? So you won't mind it if I break it, right?
well they will still only be able to see one side of it at a time, in their minds they will still think it's a circle, not a sphere, so you can't fix stupid.
Everyone knows the real shape of the Earth is a cube
They would believe you can do both.
They'll crash into the firmament at high speed, and die. God will probably smite their corpse for doubting Him.
They will continue to troll you.
They know the earth is round. It is not like the moon landing that was obviously faked.

Yes, we should sent flat-earthers into space
Space will become flat. /j
There was that one guy who built steam powered-rockets and claimed to be a flat earther then died https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Hughes_(daredevil)
To be fair, his PR team said (after his death) he only made this claim to attract funding. Make of that what you will
They just deny it. They deny everything, even obvious facts, to gain control over the conversation and no one sees through their bullshit.
