Despite overwhelming evidence, some people still believe the Earth is flat. Two simple experiments can help convince flat-Earth believers otherwise. The first involves observing the curvature of a large body of water, while the second uses a pendulum to demonstrate the Earth's rotation. These experiments provide tangible proof of the Earth's spherical shape, supported by centuries of scientific understanding and observation.

OpenAI has announced a new ChatGPT Code Interpreter plugin that can revolutionize programmer workflows by transforming data into more digestible formats and generating clean Python code. The tool has also been used to prove to flat Earthers that the Earth is round, using code-based demonstrations that show how the Earth's curvature affects the stars we see and why certain constellations are only visible from specific locations. The ChatGPT Code Interpreter opens up possibilities for efficient workflows and settling age-old debates.

Flat Earther Bob Knodel spent $20,000 on a DIY experiment to prove the Earth is flat, but accidentally proved it is round instead. The experiment involved using a camera to film through two holes, but no light could be seen, causing Knodel to mutter an awkward 'interesting'. The experiment was part of a Netflix documentary titled Behind the Curve. Despite the failed experiment, Knodel still maintains that he thinks the Earth is flat.
