What should be examined is nothing about the theory itself, but how people deal with it. If you think just a little about what the shape might be, you can easily come up with 3 different tests to make the determination, and if you put your mind to it you can think up 3 more. Just like the ancients did it, none of them need special instruments or the watching of YouTube videos.
But in the 10 years the psyop has been running, I have yet to hear a single person say they have thought up such tests and described them, let alone performed them. I'm sure some have, but it's incredibly rare.
The point here is that the simple, most basic idea of science to use observation and experiment to prove or disprove basic theories about the world has been nearly completely lost.
Your comment is a stack of assumptions, and has nothing to do with the actuality of the matter.
You mention tests. Here's a simple one, you don't even have to move: does water bend? Are the cargo ships now at sea tilted relative to your position? Yes or no?
Yes, I'm aware of meniscus, and you'd be right to assume that would be my reply. We both know that surface tension would produce concave/convex water surfaces only if the area were tiny enough, as depicted. Surface tension may still occur at the edge as you increase the surface area, but the rest of the water would level out. (I may be mistaken about this.)
I may have been a bit harsh in my previous reply, but perhaps you'd reconsider answering?
Flat Earth.

Meniscus (liquid)
I'll save you the reply and write it myself: "Ohhhh, you know what I meant!"
