Do flat earthers think other planets are flat? All of them or some of them? Are stars (including and excluding the sun) flat too? (lemmy.world)

I can never tell what they really believe. But I once saw a picture about flat earthers.

It basically said other planets are round because they have been observed to be round. But Earth is flat because it has not been observed to be round.

Though if they did see Earth from afar, I'm sure there would be some excuse as to why it's fake.

To them photographs are all made with fisheye lenses which is why only the earth looks round and distorted but fucking nothing else in the same frame.
