re: Is the earth flat?

You can see Corsica from Nice. To the bottom of the mountains and the ground. The French government says it's a mirage. Go to Hawaii and find out. Why do I have to keep posting videos, they are hard to find because they are censored so bad. When does this end and y'all look into it yourselves? How much do you need?

Ok, you're just not grasping basic geology. By your logic, mountains shouldn't exist because everything must disappear past the horizon after a certain distance. The surface of the Earth isn't a perfect sphere. There are massive undulations that eventually form a jagged sphere.

The simple geometry of the sun and day/night doesn't work on a flat earth. There is no way to reconcile the length of a day at various points on earth, and through the seasons, with a flat earth.
It certainly DOES actually. Because it IS reality.
You've just not been paying any attention to any links that explain the FE working model. Then again in defense of you or any Globe Earth believer (as with anyone unfamiliar with the basics of any subject), leaping ahead to Step 5 will be almost impossible to understand a concept right out of the box.

As it happens, the geometry works perfectly with a spherical rotating earth.
That's no accident. You do understand the vernacular of "reverse engineering"?
An equation is created that "proves" the desired bottom line result. Academic, expert bonafides are required before Institutional validation...then onto "public consensus."
"Reverse Engineering" is a system used not only with Science & Technology, but can be manipulated to "adjust" other dogma if need be; we note this in History, Religion, Social mores, and values that revise previous widely accepted knowledge and beliefs and dogma. "PC and "Woke" are examples of "Reverse Engineering" in that context.
Regarding the switch from Geocentricism TO Heliocentricism model (only 500 years old) required a whole new "scientific" system that needed hatched and devised.
Copernicus and others (Jesuits) realized that in order necessarily explain the whole Spinning Ball-Earth and (coincidental) tilt at 66.66 degrees, AND orbit speed around the Sun (66,666 MPH) and far distance to (actual local) Sun, an entire system of "Science" would have to be replaced. The distance of both was mathematically calculated to match the size of the Sun and Moon.
Even "Gravity" is still an yet an UNPROVEN, NEVER-PROVEN THEORY, but is required to explain all other inter-connected (unproven) Earth-Space "science" theories. It's quite an ongoing web of deceit.
TO ALL: For the love of God -- RESEARCH! Seek and you will find. NASA has been in bed with DISNEY since THE BEGINNING OF NASA. Those historical dots should be enough to question the entire "Space Program".

Look at the problems with geometry.
There certainly are problems with 2 dimensional geometry… when applied to a 3 dimensional spherical surface… like the earth

What does something 1700 feet tall look like at 3800 miles away?
Tiny...maybe like looking at a .5 cm object at 100 yards away
...?
A barely moving water would hide it even from telescopes.
The atmosphere would cover it regardless.

As someone who has busted his arse while walking his dog at 4:30 in the mornings and slide down the side of a mountain. I can confirm that the earth is not flat.
Also gravity is a bitch.

This has been pitiful.

A sphere is 3 dimensional and you're assuming no undulations below the surface, hence why he said 2D geometry.

Undulations of hundreds or thousands of feet against the curvature? And these undulations are always there, conveniently placed to allow you to see further than you should on a plane. How nice
Remember a few minutes ago when you just couldn't see that far? That used to be the argument. But since you can, you know, undulations. It never ends.

You found a map yet?

You've just not been paying any attention to any links that explain the FE working model.
And gravity is explained as a constant upward acceleration of earth? This is an even bigger problem for you to try to explain how satellites work, which you have yet to attempt.

Anyone who legitimately thinks that the Earth is flat is either missing a chromosome or on the spectrum

If the earth were flat?
The Andes are 21000 feet...so they would be equivalent to over an 1" object at 100 yards...so if the earth were flat, and atmosphere did not exist, you might be able to see it with a telescope...but the waves between the two points, even at both highest points would still get in the way most of the time.
Put a mountain in orbit at 3800 miles and you'd barely ever catch a glimpse of it at sunrise/sunset from reflection of the sunlight.

Ok I can see Polaris from New Orleans.
Then I can see Polaris on the Equator in Nairobi
I cannot see Polaris in Cape Town.
Why?
