I say this because I stumbled upon the fact that there are a quickly growing number of people online who are not only supporting this, but furthering the investigation every single day, and I wanted to help them. Like most of the people here, I thought this would take about 5 minutes of my life up. In short, the resultant ongoing inquiry into the matter has been a huge pain in my ass, but I'm a fairly resourceful person, and my efforts to debunk the constituent arguments of the Flat Earth Theory have failed. No saltiness from me. I just get salty when people take NO TIME to engage it properly, favouring instead to resort to belittlement and embittered interactions like a bunch of neanderthals. Flat Earthers in general feel similar to this, as their main prerogative is to cause enough stir on social media so the scientific community cannot ignore them and must answer their questions. We don't want belief. We want answers.

To your question: Flat Earthers don't really worry about the Earth being hollow that I'm aware of, and I've never met a Hollow Earther. Their primary objective rests atop major flaws in the Globe Model. They don't claim - as a whole - to have answers about the actual shape of the Earth at all really. They just think it's not a ball.

Reminds me of the time that Bill Nye (the science guy) was speaking at an event and noted that the moon was not its own light source and instead relied on reflecting light from the sun. A few in the crowd were incensed and booed him before storming out.

Just goes to show that 100% blind faith in the bible (i.e., ignorance) knows no bounds.
