Like 15 years ago there was this flat earther at my office job. He was a smart kid and knew his sql good but he was just obnoxious with his assertive opinions on just about everything.

One day he brings in this fancy mechanical keyboard and is all smug about it. The keyboard has all these led lights on it and all that jazz. It's also really loud.

After a couple of weeks the sounds of the keyboard, and him with all the other shit, start pissing most people off in office. One day the kid goes for lunch and someone takes his keyboard. They smash the hell out of it and replaces it with a normal quiet keyboard.

He comes back from lunch and frantically looks for his keyboard. He starts interrogating everyone there, with tears in his eyes, no one says anything and they go back to work. The kid goes to HR crying about his keyboard and all that shit. HR takes a couple of weeks and talks to everyone. No one snitched so not much could be done. They just tell him to use a normal keyboard.

After that the kid stopped talking out of his ass about everything. He didn't mention flat earth or any of his crazy opinions. Like 6 months later he quits and that was the end of it.

I had a young kid at work a few years ago that was so excited when some new revelation proved the earth was flat. I never talked to him again and fortunately he was part of a layoff a month or so later.
