Sorry man, but Flat Earth is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.
Should really look into it.
I have, and the arguments fall flat, are disproven, and just simply make no sense.
Go stand on the US East Coast with a portable telescope and tell me you can see the European coast line. If sea level is flat, then there's nothing obstructing your view. It will be small, since it's so far away, which is why you need the telescope. But, if I can see the rings of Saturn with my telescope, I can sure as shit see another continent...except, you can't, because the curvature of the Earth prevents it. Watch a ship come up over the horizon, or go down over the horizon. Either way. You won't see it just get smaller and smaller until you can't make it out anymore; you will literally watch as the ship appears/disappears gradually as more and more of it becomes obstructed by the curvature.
Water vapor will obstruct your vision.

"waves" LOL it's a lake. There are no tsunamis between the shores. So long as you're standing on land on one side, your eyes are higher than any of the waves that lake is going to have, even with chop.

I like to compare the photos as to what's changed. Are the buildings wider, taller, shorter are there more of them? Less of them? It's always different, it's so unpredictable, I want to catch as many different views of it as I can," Nowicki said.
To those that doubt affects of refraction. The full Chicago skyline should be visible all the time if it weren't the case, barring clouds, rain or fog. However that’s not the case, it is always changing."
Water vapor and the height of the waves is the only thing stopping you from seeing clear across the ocean.
