On the first day of spring and fall the flat earth crowd believes the sun travels over the equator. The heading of the sunrise at Portland, Maine is due East. The simultaneous heading of the sunrise in Santiago, Chile which is South of the equator (but also at 70 West longitude) is also due East. These facts are indisputable. So either we have two suns or the sun is millions of miles away. If the sun is far away then a flat earth would have sunshine 24 hours a day.

I believe that you think that the earth is rotating, and that is what causes the sun to go in a circular path. It is irrelevant to the Flat Earth model though.
But I mean... I can sit here and say you believe the earth is flat when it's actually rotating.
How come after all these years we have no Aerial view pricing earth is some sort of flat disk of some sort...also that would mean continents would actually be where they are.. wheres some good 4k shots of this or the so called ice wall surrounding us.
All of NASA photos of earth over the years seem to be different, cus they are CGI.

Youll probably say becus they are from different distances.
Where is the proof that it is rotating and that the sky is not rotating instead?
You may say what about the coriolis effect. The example used is your standing on the back of a truck you jump and stay on truck or you pass a ball to friend and it gets to him, but this is wrong. A better example is a merry go round. When you throw a ball up when spinning around on the go around it comes down in a different location which is what should happen on a rotating earth, but it doesnt, becus they say that the atomosphere and earth spin together. So why is it that the atmosphere or wind goes north south east and west 3 of which are not going in the same direction as the earth spin.
You may say atmospheric pressure highs and lows. I can go with that maybe the earth produces heat which is why heat rises, but what is heat and why is it not affected by gravitiy. If it is energy then sure but helium is made of energy can be weighed and still goes up.
If the sun is also giving off heat why is it colder the higher you go up? They claim its 250F degrees on the moon in the day.
We do have pictures of the flat earth, but you cant see the entire disc becus of perspective and they arent using the hubble telescope to do this. Things dont go behind a curve they just get smaller becus of perspective. Can probably do this on a basketball court put a 1inch item at one end and from a standing position go to a prone you will probably see part of it or all of it disappear but put a ball on that court and it wont roll.

Dont know what you call this but it looks like a wall of ice. I havent been around it but there could be beaches but you can see why people may think theres an ice wall with all the pictures available. Another simple fact. Water also rests flat, no curve up or down to water
If you have an open mind check out nathan oakley agree, disagree, even critical thinkers are willing to hear the opposing side even if it is a democratic opinion. Im guessing youve only heard the opinions of the FErs who have infiltrated the movement to cause confusion and make the group look wacky.
The ice shelf is exactly what it is... An ice shelf that doesn't surround flat earth.
I'll keep an open mind but so many simple things can't be proven with a flat earth model.
Because people keep asking other to do stuff for them, instead of you going to the ice wall yourself, to take some 4k shots. If you want an aerial view of what our plain looks like, try sending up some high-altitude balloons with a camera strapped to them, and see how it goes.
