266 feet of curve per 20 miles. It's not the scale you think. Do the geometry
Can you share a picture of anything less than 265 feet tall 20 miles out at sea?
Surely the atmospheric conditions must have been decent at least one day in the last 50 years.

And it is most certainly not up to me to draw your map because you aren't able to.

Yes. You can also see things 50 miles with a high powered camera in the salt flats. Behind 1667 feet of supposed curve somehow.

Nice deflection.

Stop pretending like you're making arguments.

Why don't they disappear almost instantly?
If you're 6 feet tall, the bottom of the ship should reach the horizon maybe 3 miles out. If the ship is 50 feet tall, it won't completely disappear until it's ~12 miles out (and maybe further due to refraction). I don't know of any boat that can travel 12 miles instantly.

FYI he originally said 333 feet per 10 miles.
He must have googled and corrected himself

Whats amazing to me is that I have somewhat followed this thread since Sunday and I am amazed at how committed Gaggle is. Dude has gone non stop for almost 3 days!

I've been to the salt flats. You're not counting topography in your calculations. The sea level surface of the Earth curves, but the flats are a long flat plane seated at elevation.

It is an amazing level of commitment to trolling.
Still no answer on tides yet huh?

I decided that would be way too complex a topic for this thread.
I'll stick with tides (which is related, obviously)

Think of how many countless hours he has logged on flat earth sites. It is really freaking sad when you think about it. It is part of his identity now.

Look at the scale of the curve compared to the circumference of the earth. That’s why. Watching someone disappear around the curve with 1,000 meter radius at 10 mph is the equivalent of watching something go around the earth at 63,000 mph
Trying to say that earlier...how big does a skyscraper look at 3k miles away...
But on with the downvotes

I don't even need that.
The most basic starting point of this entire stupid argument should be if this isn't what the planetary layout looks like, what does it look like. He's unable to provide anything

Multiple examples of zooming in past the curve. That's the problem now, they ban them furiously. You can literally take your camera and see something that should be hidden behind a curve. Post it online. What now? Better call them idiots
