Kylie Jenner has weighed in on the conspiracy theory that claims the Earth is flat while speaking on a whole host of topics on her sister’s podcast.
Khloé Kardashian launched her podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land, at the start of the year and has proven to be a big hit with her fans.
In her latest episode, she invited her little sister Kylie Jenner on to discuss... well, just about anything that they liked.
Khloe even explained the inspiration behind the podcast name, stating that the ‘Wonder Land’ part was simply because she liked the idea of ‘going down the rabbit hole’, like in Alice in Wonderland.

So in a surprising turn, as the sisters were quizzing each other, Khloé asked Kylie whether she was a 'flat earther' - which makes a nice change from the Kylie Cosmetics founder being quizzed about rumors regarding her relationship with boyfriend Timothée Chalamet.
For anyone who has never heard the term, a flat earther is someone who, despite years of scientific progress and admissions from societies across the planet, believes that the Earth is actually flat rather than a sphere.
This is widely considered a conspiracy theory and regularly dismissed by those in the scientific community whenever it rears its head again.
When asked, Kylie said: “I'm a round earther, I think. But honestly, I haven't had much thought or much research about it.”
Khloé responded by saying: “I'm a round earther. And then Rob sends me all these things about flat earthers and I'm like... do I think anything's possible? Yes.”
Kylie then proceeded to agree with her sister about thinking that anything is possible.
The sisters then agreed that ultimately that they wouldn’t really worry about it too much either way and would simply continue existing as people have done for thousands of years prior.
While the sisters aren’t too bothered about it all, this differs significantly from those in the scientific community.
British physicist Brian Cox had previously admitted that the flat earth conspiracy is actually one that really ‘riles him up’.
During an interview on LADbible stories, he explained why it gets under his skin so much.
He “I think it's is the flat Earth [theory] because it's just bizarre.
“The moon landing stuff is bizarre enough but the flat Earth thing requires almost everybody who's sensible in the world to be part of a conspiracy [and] just a small number of people, who in my view appear to be a bit odd, to be the only people who know the truth."
