When a flat Earther tells you that water cannot curve

What shape do you suspect the earth is?
That i don't know (and no one does, in my view). It would require measuring the entire earth and ideally validating those measurements repeatedly.
Provisionally, if the earth is 70%+ covered in liquid water then because of the laws of hydrostatics - it certainly cannot be the size and shape we are required to learn (and repeat) it is from childhood.
All you're doing is admitting nobody ever explained that legendary science that 12 year olds master, called "Geometry."
How did anything i have to say mean "nobody ever explained geometry" to you? Please walk me through that thought process.
I was a 12 year old too...
The fact you thought the Earth even might POSSIBLY be flat,
is PROOF POSITIVE: can ONLY MEAN
no one has EVER explained how longitude and latitude
are derived,
and used,
to predict on the surface of the planet.
IF YOU'D HAVE EVER BEEN TAUGHT THAT,
you'd know there can ONLY be ONE reason
ANY set of FORMULAS can PREDICT surface areas
and surface point locations
on ANY GEOMETRIC FIGURE THAT EXISTS.
They belong to THE FAMILY of '
'SPHERICAL COORDINATES."
Because they can ONLY predict,
on a SPHERICAL OBJECT.
fhe FACT the PLANET'S SURFACE AREAS
and
SURFACE POINTS,
can ONLY BE SUCCESSFULLY PREDICTED by THEM,
and YOUR NOT KNOWING WHY this MATHEMATICAL FACT exists,
is PROOF POSITIVE your EDUCATIONAL GRASP,
is SUB 12-YEAR-OLD.
12 YEAR OLDS and 14 YEAR-OLDS,
ROUTINELY TEACH THEMSELVES these MATHEMATICAL PREDICTION REALITIES and learn to sail and fly.
YOU will NEVER ESCAPE what NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW they WORK to PREDICT,
means for your N.O.N. E.X.I.S.T.A.N.T.
NON-GRASP,
of FUNDAMENTALS of HOW SURFACE AREA MATHEMATICS WORK.
I’m not asking what you know. I’m asking what you suspect.
A central part of flat earth research is identifying and eliminating/suppressing such beliefs. I attempt to deal with what i actually know (and have validated), which is what objective study (the ideal) requires.
Belief (e.g. suspicion, speculation) is the enemy of knowledge and objective study of any kind.
I know that the world isn't spherical the way we are taught. I could guess [suspect] as to the actual shape, but that is exactly what brought the ancient greeks to the incorrect conclusion (which we inherited) millennia ago.
Have you done research into shapes other than flat earth?
