B.o.B. Has Actually Released A Track Claiming The Earth Is Flat
It’s one of many theories that he has, and people are unable to convince him otherwise.
UPDATE: B.o.B. has now released a track supporting his flat earth theory, which samples Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
It includes lines like "use your common sense / Why is NASA part of the department of defense?" and "Indoctrinated in a cult called science / And graduated to a club full of liars / Heliocentrism, you were the sixth victim."
Recently he has started to debate his ideas with a number of people across the internet, maintaining his belief that the world is flat.
To summarise his beliefs;
- It is impossible to ever see the curvature of the Earth.
- Just because in some photos it does appear to be curved, this is due to either editing of photos, or curved lenses.
- NASA has repeatedly changed the shape they think the Earth is - from sphere, to oblate spheroid, to pear-shaped.
- Any pictures of the Earth being spherical are actually CGI.
- While we can see spherical planets in the sky, we cannot actually see them for ourselves - only through telescopes.
- The UN and NASA are hiding the fact the earth is flat by banning anyone from exploring the poles.
- The UN's flag represents the actual shape of the world.

This "Harry Potter" Theory Reveals One Thing You Never Noticed About The Dursleys

This Woman Is Taking A Stand Against People Who Say Mental Illness Is Fake
An article in the Sydney Morning Herald gave advice to employers on how to spot an employee who might be “faking” their mental illness. Writer Anna Spargo-Ryan decided to take a stand.
Anna Spargo-Ryan, a writer from Australia, posted these selfies on Facebook after reading an article titled "Mental illness: who's faking it?"
These photos of me were taken three days apart.
In the first one, I have a mental illness.
And in the second one, I have a mental illness.
The Sydney Morning Herald today published an article by James Adonis, about how employers can identify people who are "faking" mental illness to get out of work.
One of the recommendations from this absolute dropkick of a human was to "issue a warning to those you suspect are faking it."
Part of what makes mental illness so hard to identify in at-risk people is the constant reinforcement that we're "imagining it" or that we're "just sad" or that we "have to want to get better". It's an ethereal illness, existing only because we can't be bothered to be well, or because we've talked ourselves into it, or because we didn't try hard enough, or because we are faking it.
Garbage "people-management thinkers" who choose to perpetuate the myth that mental illness is probably a fakery do so to broad societal detriment. Good people have mental illnesses. We need them to feel supported and empowered in their places, whether that's work or home or school or somewhere else. Not that someone is waiting to "catch them out". Not that their illness is not legitimate. Not that the time they take away from work to seek treatment is bogus.
Both of these photos are mental illness. I hope this helps you to spot the fakers.
The article she refers to in her Facebook post warns employers of a new type of employee “who fakes a disorder for their personal benefit”.
It goes on to list certain clues on how to spot someone faking their mental illness, which includes overreacting, being "evasive and uncertain", and calling "attention to their illness".
She added: "We're still at the beginning of understanding how to support mental health in the workplace, and the idea of 'catching people out' is the antithesis of that."

Here’s What’s Wrong With A Study Claiming Seasonal Depression Is A Myth
For a start, people with seasonal affective disorder may have been too depressed to even answer the phone when researchers called.
Some researchers are claiming that seasonal affective disorder (SAD) – a type of depression that changes depending on seasonal patterns – might not actually be real.

The family decided to stay at a hotel in Maryland to wait out the storm. But on their way, Smith noticed a "white, pink lump" in the snow along the side of the road. The family pulled over to discover it was a pig.

"My inital thought was it was a raccoon walking along the side of the road," Smith told BuzzFeed News. "But there was a trail so I stopped and said, 'Let's go back and take a look.'"
His son Perry Smith Jr., who was in the passenger's seat, rolled down the window as the car rolled up to the side of the animal.
"What is that thing?" Smith asked.
"Dad, I think it's a pig," said his son.
Smith said the pig was very still and he was not sure if it was dead or alive. He picked it up and it let out a piercing squeal.

19 Ways To Make A Next-Level Reading Nook
Everybody needs a nook.
This is Mara. Mara is the queen of reading nooks.
Her Instagram is just one long feed of book porn, all housed in the most adorable nook you will ~ever~ see. We got in touch and asked her to talk us through how to make the perfect reading space.
Here's what she recommended.
You can't have too many cushions.
"Pillows are the ultimate accessory for a reading nook. They don’t just look amazing but also help you stay comfortable while you’re going through all those weird reading positions. Pick out pillows in all shapes and sizes, in all colours and fabrics, but keep in mind: the more the merrier and the weirder the shape, probably the more comfortable.
My personal favourite options are pillows that have to do with reading or encourage me to read more - like this one from Bookworm Boutique"
Pimp your bookshelves.
"Treat your bookshelves like an extension of yourself. Add little gimmicks or figures or mugs as decoration. Try to display gorgeous bookmarks or pictures that you took with authors, fandom jewellery of your favourite series, or just things that mean something to YOU. Is there any better background to anything than books? I don’t think so."
Don't be scared of a little colour.
"The more colourful, the better. Your reading nook should be a reflection of your taste in books and stories, so why not add as many splashes of colour as possible? A good thing to do is go with either white or grey as a base and then add accessories and furniture that stand out from them.
Your reading nook should be light for reading though, so if you do opt for a dark wall colour, be sure to add some bright accessories and lamps to make it more cosy."
