Have you ever experienced seasons? What about the horizon? What about time zones? What about tides? What about polar night or the midnight sun? Have you noticed how the peak sun angle gets lower as you go further from the equator, resulting in colder climates? Have you noticed how the angle at which the sun sets gets shallower as you get further from the equator until at the poles it's completely horizontal and it just circles around in the sky for half a year?
Yeah, all of those things are impossible on a flat earth and easily explained and predicted on a round one. Flat earth theory is living proof of the Dunning-Kruger effect, nothing more.
And that, my friend, is completely retarded. No offense but flat earthers really should have paid more attention in middle school.
Here's an experiment: take a candle and a sheet of paper. Go into a dark room, close the door and light the candle. Move the candle around above the sheet of paper so that about half of it is brightly lit and half of it is completely dark. That should be a long, fun and puzzling evening for all flat earthers.
I hate when these guys get so much right but then turn out to be flat earthers.
Look at the official earth curvature formula.
Does it match what you see?
have you ever seen bulidings or natural objects tilting backwards at the horizon?
do railroad tracks actually converge at a distant vanishing point or perhaps our eyes dont see 100% "reality"?

Here is a short animation on how the sun moves across our sky.

Simplistic arguments with zero links. Thanks.

how far away is the horizon ?
its not a gotcha I was just wondering and you seemed quite knowledgeable.
As far as the eye or camera lens can see????
Not impossible and all of those points are covered
You just haven’t considered it properly

I asked several artists to replicate the view seen according to the official formula.
None could and one said it was the most difficult assignment he'd ever had.
It just does not match.
Don't feel bad. Took me at least a year to process this...
