    My friend was telling me about how the lady his best friend married was walking by the TV when some show was talking about the stars and she said "fake news!" My friend chuckled at first thinking it was some dumb joke but apparently after his best friend married her she became a flat-Earther who does not believe the stars are real, or at least they're not actually stars. I think about that a lot, and am terrified that anyone I associate with can suddenly become deranged in that way at any random point.

      My friend's ex-wife went down the Youtube conspiracy rabbit hole and is now a Holocaust denier, thinks there are child slave colonies on Mars and stares into the sun because there's a conspiracy telling us not to do that and she's going to get to the bottom of it and unlock her super chakra. I think some people are just so thoroughly lacking in critical thinking skills that you can convince them of just about anything if you explain it in an authoritative manner.

      First reaction was that she didn't believe famous people are real, which is a much more fun thing to believe

      The starts aren't real but you aren't supposed to talk about it. They might hear you and get angry
