I didn't think flat-earthers existed for real. Then I came across them on the good old internet. At first I thought most of them would have to be trolls, not really believing it.. but then you realize that so many of them get extremely angry when you try to debate them. They truly exist.
But then again I actually met a person who believed the moon landings were fake.. brilliant guy otherwise, but too young to (unlike myself) having lived through the time period. He (and some others) seemed to believe that it was all CGI, not realizing or grasping that the watch he was wearing had way more computing power than the whole space program at that time. And that every illustration of the moon surface before Apollo 8 (they didn't land, they just took photos) were so very different from the real thing.
