If the earth was flat then placing a meter stick in two places 500 miles apart would create the exact same length of shadow. And it doesn't. And we can take the ratio between shadow lengths and literally calculate the size of Earth's sphere. Just like we first did in 1600.
Fuck off outta here with this flat earth horseshit.
The results would depend on the position and distance of the light source, like a flood light vs spot light. The reason the shadow lengths are different is because the light source is not hitting the objects at the same distance, location. The sun travels on a trajectory and its small and close, so two locations yield different shadows unless on the same latitude.

Try placing two meter sticks inside of a room with a single light source 5 meters apart, and see if your thesis hold up.
