> The sun doesn't only rise and set once a year at the north Pole! Is this a joke?

You have to explicitly say that you are a flat earther. Otherwise people on HN assume standard science as source of knowledge.

If you are not a flat earther, you might consider watching this video while closely observing the north pole: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLRA87TKXLM

Also Stellarium is an outstanding piece of FOSS software, you can play with your position, time of day and time of year. Please dont file a bug report because the sun does only set once per year at the north pole. Stellarium is not made for flat earthers.

How does that even make sense for a flat earther? Is their explanation for the posted article is that it's part of some round earth propaganda machine?
