Had members of the local "Flat-earth Church/Cult" crash an International Astronomy Day outreach that the members of the Royal Astronomical Society, Vancouver Chapter were hosting. They spent several hours trying very hard to find "converts" but to no avail.
Fortunately, the YouTube channel has an endless, non-stop, never ending supply of prople who love nothing more than to advertise to the entire World their brand of ignorance. Everyone has the right to be stupid but these people abuse the priviledge (spelt wrong).
Sometimes I weap for the future!
Clear skies and keep looking up!

YouTube could take down flat earth, fake moon landing, etc videos. I wonder why they don't?

Lots of click$?
I knew a bloke who thought Saturn’s hexagon was a portal to the inside.
When confronted with that kind of thing, I just nod and smile.

We get the odd question/comment about flat-earth stuff. We're in a hilly city, so we just point out the hills to them as proof that the Earth is neither flat nor round, and move on.

The Black Knight satellite :... Why not this object?
Their answer: "It's cloaked."

During sidewalk outreach, I've met one passerby who spoke on the flat earth theory. And then he talked about aliens. I told him I've seen an actual UFO before for 20 minutes back in 1989, witnessed together with a few others, and we reported it to the authorities. He was so astounded... haha.

There are lots of folks interested in Astrology at our pulic outreach events.
Kepler and Tycho Brahe would have enjoyed your events
