Honestly, I'm real - and here's how the world really looks

I’ve just been liking and commenting on all the responses on Jo Ann’s (@akalinus) discussion that according to the Flat Earth Society, Australia does not exist. You can catch up here:
I found myself writing the same stuff over and over so decided I might as well do my own discussion and address the issues raised.
The photo shows the world as it really is. I know this is different to the normal view people have the world but believe you me, I’m on top of it (the world, that is). The Flat Earth Society believes those who say they are Australian are paid actors. Unfortunately being only a bit player means I don’t get paid much at all. But I get enough to keep me in Vegemite and pavlova.
But I don’t mind that Aussies are all illusions. We’re happy to keep our imaginary (and real) paradise to ourselves. But Val (@valmnz) can be an honorary one if she likes.
But don’t expect to get paid much, Val – and you’ll have to learn to say ‘six’ instead of ‘sucks’.
The Flat Earth society believes that earth is a giant pancake, flat and not a sphere. In a recent meeting, the Flat Earthers decided that Australia does not...

@valmnz 
Don't get me wrong. I love the NZ accent but every NZ film sounds like they're taking the mickey out of themselves. Did you see Hunt for the Wilder People? Great film and there was another one about people who were going to all the garage sales. Your country makes some great films.

After all, we all think we're real but who's to say? Maybe we're all illusions.

I was so surprised that I made a search and "unfortunately" the Flat Earth Society is real and exists. The society began accepting new members for the first time since 2001, as of July 2017, over 500 people have become member. Well at least they are not a vast group, I feel better.

You Aussie actors are doing a great job, especially with that unique made-up English accent you all learned. My question is, are the actors that play animals that live only in Australia, like kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, and wombats paid extra?

So, you have about 25 million actors pretending that Australia exists. Where does the money to pay all those actors come from?

@1hopefulman In that case, you can come and be an 'extra'.

@JudyEv what do you call yours in Australia? Do you have such an organization that recognizes the artists' performances?

@Mavic123456 The Australian equivalent is the AACTA Awards (Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards).

Hmmm... were you aware that @pgntwo claims all of you are standing on your heads, Judy? (In a discussion I wrote titled "Helping a Friend" I had posted a photograph of our two babies (Two cloth dolls. One an elephant and the other a human baby.) turned upside down. pgn claimed he recognized them as Australian because they were standing on their heads... until he flipped them over for me, of course. 
)
So... who has been collecting the pay our babies should have been receiving? Was that person you, Judy? And how much has accumulated in our babies accounts since all this started?
I'm sorry so much ignorance still exists. I know and believe it is being stamped out, but it does take time and knowledge to cure ignorance. *shake my head*

@DaddyEvil The people that you see glued at the feet of the Eiffel Tower are Australians who forgot to remove their magnets

@JudyEv 
You all have magnets in your feet? 
Does that mean you can walk on steel?
Now, I gotta tag @topffer and ask him if there were reports of Australians walking on the outside of the Eiffel Tower when you and Vince went to France! (I guess going up the outside of the tower would save you a lot of the babies' money, too! )

@JohnRoberts things would change in a million years as I read in a scientific article long ago that the poles - North and South interchange in a million years!

@JudyEv When Isaiah wrote about the earth being a Circle or a sphere, most people had many weird thoughts about the earth - some have thought that it was on the back of elephants, who are standing on a turtle who is swimmig in a cosmic ocean.. I wonder if the Flat Earth Society started that time - thosands of year ago..

The Flat Earth Society recently posted something on one of their social media sites--I can't remember which one, but I think it was Twitter--that said: "We have members all around the globe."
Think about that statement for a second and let it sink in.

@JudyEv The word 'around' shouldn't be anywhere in their vocabulary. The could say, 'we have members scattered all across the pancake.'

Lol. Nice to meet you. Is it kind of like "I think, therefor I am"?
That's hilarious.
There was a website some number of years ago that , if you punched in your location - it would tell you what was on the opposite side of the earth from you.
Sure enough, Australia is almost exactly 1/2 way around the world from Minnesota.
I do wonder how you guys are hanging on to the upside down part of the globe though....
