FlatEarthImplements supplies instruments to the Flat Earth movement
StartupRealities No 60
FlatEarthImplements is a company that produces scientific and pseudo-scientific instruments for members of the Flat Earth Society, with which they can conduct experiments in search of proof that the Earth is flat. The company's pseudo-scientific instruments (e.g. loaded gyroscopes) are more popular with Flat Earth followers than properly-calibrated instruments and therefore command higher prices. The reason for this logical contradiction is that Flat Earthers consider the pseudo-scientific instruments "untampered", while the calibrated instruments that do not support the Flat Earth hypothesis are considered "tampered".
CEO QUOTES
"We don't take a stance on the founding tenets of the Flat Earth movement. It goes back to ancient history and beyond - to primeval history. No one disputes their historical origins and we give them credit for their unwavering commitment to tradition." - noted FlatEarthImplements founder and CEO Flaccido Ericone.
"We source most of our instruments from Shenzhen, southern China, where the bulk of Santa Claus paraphernalia is also produced. We are equally agnostic about Flat Earth and Santa Claus. We have recently started diversifying into supplying instruments to the Hollow Earth movement and the Hilly Earth movement, as there are some complementarities between the members of these three societies, even though their beliefs are diametrically opposed," concluded Ericone.
