Flat Earth already does this. And it also includes the Sun.

I like to pretend they’re memes. It makes the world a little less bleak. 😂 Sometimes they’re actually unironically hilarious and you’ll see them here.
It’s part of their model already. And oh! The sun has the same size.
I can’t remember which comedian said this but he absolutely loves talking to flat earthers. Whenever they bring up the moon being too small, etc., he bursts out laughing and says, “You believe in the moon?!”
Also in this model, the sun and moon cannot be seen in the sky at the same time, except during an eclipse. And the stars never change through the seasons, they are fixed points that look the same no matter where you are at on Earth.
DRINK! GIRLS!
FECK! ARSE!
Always time for one of my favorite fun facts:
The moon is so far away from the earth that all the planets in the solar system could fit between the earth and the moon.
I mean, not for long, but it would be worth it.
I was having a debate I didn’t know I was having with a flat earth guy at a Christmas party last year lol. He was asking me questions and I didn’t get why but were basic science so I was answering and then suddenly clicked when he started making remarks about how we only see one side of the moon. I still don’t get where he was going because I laughed it off and went about my business but he seemed to think that “they” were projecting a picture of the moon I guess? Or maybe the sky is a giant screen? I don’t know , it was just funny that it happened but I do wonder how you could think something like that but not think that ‘they’ would have that kind of technology and capabilities but not be able to project a different side or picture of the moon if that’s all it would take to debunk peoples claims of the moon being fake.
Reminds me of good old Ken M
Aliens landed in my backyard the other day, and these little one-inch creatures came out. They walked up to me, I looked down and said - “Are you really one inch tall?” - and they said - “No, we’re really very far away”.
That’s an old Steven Wright joke. Weirdly half-forgotten, the man deserves at least as much love as Mitch Hedberg does.
I don’t think that’s a new one.
but, it is small and close.
relatively :P
There is a great story about that by the great writer Italo Calvino called ‘the distance of the moon’: https://irenebrination.typepad.com/files/calvino-italo-cosmicomics.pdf
In that story, sometimes the moon would be so close, that if you would jump on the right moment you would be taken up by its field gravity.
Just watched a flat earther trying to dispute that the moon is not 250k miles/kilometers away from earth because he was able to photograph it with his camera.
This was one of the few things that Lucretius was very wrong about in De Rerum Natura.
Nailed survival of the fittest, quantized light, different mass objects falling at the same rate in a vacuum.
But the Epicurean cosmology was pretty bad and he suggested that the moon and sun were both roughly the size we see them as in the sky.
Can’t get them all right.
There’s a scientist with a knife approaching you at a speed you’re uncomfortable with.
