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.
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...
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?
