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.

“the Earth is an “oblate spheroid”.
That would really mess up what’s left of their pot smoked minds.
What should one expect of those who munch on Tide Pods and snort rubbers? Really.
Idiocracy.
With hearing the oxymoronic term “scientific consensus” in terms of so-called “AGW” of COURSE Millennial think that science is a matter of opinion.
Remember when college kids had wet t-shirt contests so they could see a woman's nip raise money for their fraternity?
“...A British market research firm. What, are the Brits up our grill?”
They’ve never gotten over Cornwallis surrendering at Yorktown in 1781.
Notice how Brits loving beating us up over our “lax gun laws”? You can’t tyrannize an armed citizenry.
They are also confused about which bathroom to use and think that x and y have more than 50 possible combinations.
All of the above?
Maybe they're tired of surveys. I've gotten a number of junk phone calls from pollsters recently.
As the article says: “nine percent of young adults answered that they have “always believed” the planet was flat.”

Example Mueller perjury trap question. Include “always” in the question. If you answer “yes”, the trap is sprung. Most very young children would have an easier time thinking the Earth flat instead of being a sphere, a big ball you would fall off.
Remember that half the people you meet are less than average intelligence.
Millenials disagree. sarc
The millennials must have never looked up at the night sky for a hint idiot slackers.
Yep, a whirling blob.
“I quite realized”, said Columbus
“That the earth is not a rhombus;
But I am more than a little annoyed
To find it an oblate spheroid.”

but believe in GLOBAL warming... ask them to explain that!
‘Only 66 percent of young millennials answered that they “always believe the world is round.”’
How inconsiderate. The phrasing leaves out those who believe the world shape-shifts from L to G to B to T, and possibly is non-bi or transsquare at times. Nothing is ALWAYS anything anymore. These pollsters need to check their privilege.
