Rapper calls $ 1 million to launch the satellite to prove the Earth is flat
Chances are, it's all a trick, please don't throw money in the window to the rapper BoB
The story of a star who is a fan of a fan is no wonder, many reasons for this to happen. But when the star insists that the Earth is flat, ask for money to launch the satellite into orbit to verify it goes a little too far.
Sir, Earth is spherical.(Photos provided by NASA).
It is the BoB colored rapper, has just called for money on GoFundMe for $ 1 million to 'launch one, if not some, the satellite to the universe' aims to 'find the Earth's curve'. Currently, the campaign has raised a total of 2,481 USD.
Since last year, this guy has confirmed that the Earth is flat, with evidence of a photograph of him horizon but there is no curve at all. The photo he posted on Twitter. Not only that, BoB also released a song "scolding him" Neil deGrasse Tyson for correcting him.
Maybe this multi-year rapper is trying to draw the attention of the community, or maybe he has an unshakable faith that the Earth is flat. Anyway, don't spend money to support his satellite launch fundraising campaign .
BoB's Twitter post last year.
These are the two reasons that The Verge points out, recommending that you do not put out your money in vain:
1. Through GoFundMe, people can take your money easily
Unlike other calling services, like Kickstarter or Indiegogo, through GoFundMe, people can trick people who donate much more easily.
That's because GoFundMe does not require the caller to have a certain milestone before he can withdraw money from the fund. So, the rapper doesn't need to reach the $ 1 million mark, he can withdraw money at any time, even if only a few dozen dollars.
These are the only three cases that GoFundMe will pay back to donors:
- The caller does not use the money for the stated purpose.
- The description of the call campaign makes the supporters misunderstand.
- The caller is accused, any misleading crime involved in his capital call campaign.
The fundraising campaign called "Show BoB the curve" , the intention of the Earth's curve.
Mr. BoB didn't seem to break any rules, even though his plan was still very vague: launch the satellite to see if the Earth had any curves, nothing more about how to do it. If money goes, and this guy tries to get a satellite, it obviously won't break the law.
However, taking pictures of the Earth to prove the Earth we live in is not flat without needing 1 million USD.Just a few hundred dollars for a GoPro camera, a weather ballon, thrown into the air is proof.
2. Obvious, clear and indisputable: This Earth is NOT BLADE, IT IS A DEMAND
There's no need to say more about this second reason, but perhaps I should say more about what GoFundMe's spokesperson said about rapper BoB's fundraising campaign:
Although this campaign does not violate any law that the company offers, they will still suspend fundraising. This means that the BoB will not be able to withdraw money until he provides more information about his project, otherwise the entire fund will be returned to the donor.
Not knowing who wants to break the Earth 'straight into the curve ', what do they think.
