3 Reasons Australia Might Be a Hoax

A poster on a Facebook flat earth group made the incredible assertion that Australia is a hoax. While you have been led to believe the island’s original inhabitants after the aboriginal tribes were British prisoners.

Nay says this unknown poster. Australia is a hoax and does not, could not exist. The British prisoners, they say, were pushed off the boats into the sea to perish. And anyone today claiming to be Australian is an actor or a hologram.

Ludicrous, right? But let’s consider three points that might support their statement Australia is a hoax.

Is Hugh Jackman Real?

Hugh Jackman acts, dances, and sings. Heck, for all we know he is a star footballer, great cook and expert fisherman as well. Sure, why not. It’s not that hard to believe Hugh Jackman is a hologram, programmed by a secret thespian society with an eye toward creating the ultimate performing talent.

Australians Seem to Be From Another Era

Australia is woefully behind the rest of the world. Is it even possible for a modern country to be living so far in the past? They didn’t even get Netflix until 2015! Which is probably good, because internet connectivity sucks. You can only get high-speed internet in a 2-block area of the Sydney business district, the Sydney Opera House and on the very tip top of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. Surely this is all a hoax.

It’s in the Middle of Nowhere

If you were going to start a country, would you put it in the middle of nowhere? It stretches the imagination the place even exists. It takes 3 weeks just to fly there. Maybe your “Australian Getaway” vacation was in fact a virtual reality movie inside your airplane which never actually lands. You take off and land at home, but believe you are in “Australia” the whole time.

I’m not saying they are right, but there are some things about Australia that make you think it might be a hoax.
