Lol I don't see how this settles anything. For centuries people successfully used sextants whether you thought it was flat or spherical. Columbus even used them when he was wrong about how big the earth is. Whether we use a Mercator projection map or a azimuthal equidistant projection, they both have lines of latitude and longitude over them that we can plot ourselves on.

Shit during world War 2 the primary map that was used by military vessels and planes was the 'ww2 air map of the world', Google it and tell me what that looks like.

Sextants make more sense on flat earth: https://www.bitchute.com/video/x3qknB0XWOnA/

Sextants make more sense on flat earth

correct me if i am wrong, but sextants only work because Earth is a globe.

if Earth wasn't a globe, you wouldn't need a sextant to correct for refraction etc - as the sextant does.

that video basically mocks how many hoops you have to jump through to basically flatten the globe and get a straight bering.

lol, but once you jump through all the hoops ....sextants work!

this is undeniable.

and they wouldn't work if the Earth were actually flat - because a sextant corrects for factors that a globe creates. if you correct for events that don't actually exist, the final result will be wrong.

right? :)

Laugh all ya want but the fact is sextants are used by people who hold both beliefs globe and flat for hundreds of years. You were too retarded to make that simple connection.

hold both beliefs globe and flat for hundreds of years.

you can "believe" whatever you want ... :)

Just like "flat earthers" can believe whatever they want, but the internet will still works for them - even though the internet was built with "science".
