Yes, and it doesn't rotate on an axis. It wobbles.
The world isn't round, it's elliptical.

We are looking at a very deep recession after Trump gets his second term to squeeze all the inflation out of the economy that's been building up over the past few years thanks to money printing. I'm comparing it to 1974-1975 which was an oil recession but this one will be real estate driven as the last one was. I'm telling you now that the next downer will definitely separate the men from the boys.
If you have debt, get out. Like right goddamn now. Like ten minutes ago.
If the earth were flat, the satellites wouldn't work! We couldn't have launched the Shuttle, done the Space Station, used the Russians to get us back and forth, etc.
I smell click bait. Hell, every story I see in the major newspapers anymore sounds as though it was written for someone with about a thirty second attention span.

Yep. that would be the Millennials, although 30 seconds seems a bit long, it's more like 10 seconds.

A new survey has found that a third of young millennials in the U.S. aren’t convinced the Earth is actually round. The national poll reveals that 18 to 24-year-olds are the largest group in the country who refuse to accept the scientific facts of the world’s shape.
YouGov, a British market research firm, polled 8,215 adults in the United States to find out if they ever believed in the “flat Earth” movement. Only 66 percent of young millennials answered that they “always believe the world is round.” Science teachers across the U.S. will be shaking their heads after learning that nine percent of young adults answered that they have “always believed” the planet was flat.
Another nine percent said of young adults said they thought the planet was spherical but had doubts about it. In a disturbing display of indecision, 16 percent of millennials said they weren’t sure what the shape of the planet was.
