re: Is the earth flat?

The suns path crests between the tropics. In northern winter it is in the outer tropical circle and light can't reach the center pole

No. Made up straw man

Antarctica is the outer ring. It's closer to it in the outer tropic circle. When the sun is at the inner tropic circle, the north pole gets eternal sunshine

If this were true Antarctica would be one of the warmest places on earth. Why is it an Ice wall?

When the sun is at the "outer ring" the north pole is dark. Fine. But how, then, is the entire south-pole-but-not-south-pole lit up all the way around the flat earth? Why is it only dark in the middle?

Closer. Not next to.

Not sure why I'm getting downvoted for pointing out that objects get smaller at a distance.

Why is it only dark in the middle?

I'll be waiting on my answer on Polaris. On the same Continent, Africa, why can you see it in the North and not see it in the South?
Or why Tropical Cyclones spin in different directions in different hemispheres.

So you're not a true flat earth believer, that's fine.
What's your explanation for gravity? Why does it only pull down instead of pulling us toward the north pole? Why hasn't the earth pulled itself into a sphere like every other object its size?

The south pole, which is the entire outer ring of the earth in the FE model, is lit up for months at a time. Yet the north pole, which is closer to the sun than the furthest edge, is dark.

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
This is the most unexplainable issue in a FE model

Which is precisely why it was ignored.
At least long enough until Gaggle finds a troll post on reddit or something that will "answer" the question.

I don't understand the premise. Lights above can change as you move across a line, therefore you must be on a ball. That's a non sequitur. You can look at different stars from any surface. Why wouldn't it be possible in flat earth?

You took the bait.
Name and Organization that was hijacked this controlled oppo. By design. MSM will naturally cite it as, "FE movement leadership."
NO serious "Flat Earther" of researcher takes the Flat Earth Society seriously (although those who don't know better will be directed straight to the Google algorithm suggestion of course. Unaware neophytes, rookies and folks like yourself are going to bite on their FE disinfo and misinfo.)

You're very easily amused.
