My work spouse is a flat earther

[Parvo]

I don't know. Take a garden hose, point it up in the air not quite straight, and watch what happens. Or, walk her over to the water fountain, turn it on, and say, see, dumbass?

I showed her cool photos of swimmers just about to break the surface tension of water - I think she believes those are fake. But I can't burn any calories trying to convince her.

who the fuck has a work spouse? parvo you are a cool dude, but really man?

It's a ubiquitous term that I felt would describe my close relationship with flat-earthier in a way most others in professional life would understand.

My well service guy is a flat earther. It’s amazing. He seems to know the science and tech very well about wells and groundwater. When he first brought it up to me (his beliefs) along with the helpful statement, people debate me about it all the time but I always “win,” I chose not to engage. He still services my well, but he blew it. Super awkward.

The conversation began when she said there was "literally a thousand years of proof Jesus was a living man and rose from the dead". I don't generally shit on folks' religious beliefs, but I let her know what I think of the zombie jesus myth. That turned into "oh, you probably fell for the earth is round hoax" and that water can't bend. I can't even engage. I need a work spouse divorce. Maybe the new gal in HR wants to be my new work spouse, she seems grounded.

But what we really want to know is: what's her position on climate change? Asking for a friend

What does she look like naked?

Parvo has quite the life with the people he comes across. I am always entertained.

Yeah, you can't have a work spouse before you have a real spouse, Did Parvo get married, and we weren't invited?

[JimmyCarter]

The whole water bending thing is on a global scale.

In her head, if the earth is round, then that would mean that the water in the middle of the Atlantic must be higher than the water at either side. Because water doesn't "bend" this can't happen.

And if that's the confusion good luck explaining gravity.

I had to Google "work spouse" as I had never heard the term before.

Speaking of which...

... I told her this puts her in a category of people who I don’t have time for or have any desire to interact with.

If she is your work spouse how will this be possible unless one of you quits your job?

Tell her you have a rare form of herpes that can jump 15 ft at a time and she should not be in the same room with you.

OK take a straw in a glass of liquid.. Plug the top with your finger and lift it out of the glass to show her the water still inside the straw upside down.. Then tell her gravity sucks like the straw does. Scientifically incorrect but it will certainly fuck with her head about the fact that water can be upside down without falling..

My wife found out the associates call her and another partner Mom and Dad. They responded by referring to them in correspondence as the kids.

she's got, like, worms in her brain.

You know the drill: post nekid pics of work spouse and new HR girl. Then we will decide which one, or both, you should bang.

If the Earth was flat, wouldn't everyone want live on the edge?

Only the wealthy could afford to live there and their mansions would get wiped out by the ever-increasing hurricanes that pass through the edge every year and then we, as a nation, would get stuck with the bill to rebuild their absurd trophy-properties.

Is what I'd guess Benny would say about that in this world.

Well I've got 2, but I also recently learned that my seemingly normal and give you the shirt off his back neighbor is a flat earther and conspiracy theorist of the highest degree. From flat earth to no moon landing to elections results are known months before the election. The inside of my mouth is still recovering from biting my tongue to keep from laughing in his face a couple of months back. He is a mechanical engineer also. I did ask him what his wife and 2 sons (one is a doctor) think of it and he hemmed and hawed and admitted they weren't buying. Amazing.

[CascadeLuke]

If this surfaced at home, could be grounds for divorce with a real wife.
