Really? Other than as a joke? I'll have to look into this. But since
there are people who believe in a hollow Earth with holes at the poles,
I could almost believe there were Klein Bottle-earthers.

 A Globe with holes-in-the-poles is an object they can see and feel.
 A Moebius strip is something the can see and feel.
 On the Great Plains, the Earth sure /looks/ flat. Well, as long as you
don't raise your eyes up enough to notice the Rockies slowly getting
higher as you move West.
 But a Klein bottle has no physical analogue. So I would be /very/
surprised at anyone believing the Earth is a Klein bottle.

A Klein bottle is a physical analogue.
Acme Klein Bottle <https://www.kleinbottle.com>
Acme will sell you a very large Klien bottle.
Just a search will bring you illustrations of the fine art
of the glass blower.
The earth may not be a Klein bottle but the Universe might be one. Or at least we have no way yet of saying exactly what strange
geometry it follows. And I recall one SF story in a pulp magazine
that discovered the universe was more like a toilet.
