If some love unicorns then I love curved horizons and bodies of water. Globetards are basically mentally challenged so I guess I love them too. You would have to be real jerk to hate on people with down syndrome.

Here is some heavy reading for you on why the horizon looks flat.

Plenty of reality in these links. They show clearly why you are tricked into thinking the world is flat.

As far as visually observing the curve of your horizon with the naked eye, a good reference is: http://thulescientific.com/Lynch...

All credit here goes to David K. Lynch.

Conclusion from the paper:

In view of the agreement between the visual observations, measurements of the photographs, and the theoretical curvatures, it seems well established that the curvature of the Earth is reasonably well understood and can be measured from photographs. The threshold elevation for detecting curvature would seem to be somewhat less than 35,000 ft (10.6 km) but not as low as 14,000 ft (4.2 km). Photographically, curvature may be measurable as low as 20,000 ft (6 km).

So that is, roughly, a good answer. However, if you take great care to photograph the horizon right through the center of your lens with your camera very carefully leveled and at high resolution with a very high quality rectilinear lens you can actually view the slight curve of the horizon from much lower altitudes (even just a few hundred meters).

From just 200 meters elevation, on a 4000 pixel wide image at 94.4 degree field of view you should expect about 7 vertical pixels of rise out of the horizon circle (as shown in my calculator link). You can make this slight ‘bump’ more visible by compressing the width of the image to about 10% of the original width and stretching it vertically by a factor of 2–4x.

Eratosthenes determined the circumference of Earth back in 240 BC. So yeah flat earthers are retarded.

There's almost as much debate about the Earth being flat as there is about human caused climate change.

Says a lot about how stupid America is getting these days, doesn't it?

science has determined that currently the earth is at the tail end of it's 5th known "ice age". wonder what caused the melting of the first 4 long before there were humans, hydrocarbons, and SUVs...

That is expanding and full of galaxies, stars and planets?

The universe would be shaped like a soccer ball..

Basically 99.9% of the human population, who'da thought..

The dudes who made your PC, Cars, stove, grow lights,water heater,plumbing ect all deserve a slap for following fake science i guess.

China's recent mission to the far side of the Moon uses a spacecraft in an interesting orbit to relay signals back to Earth from the lander. It does not orbit Earth directly, nor does it orbit the moon. Instead, it orbits a point in space beyond the moon formed by the gravitational pull of both, the L2 Lagrange point.

Cmon’ now. How can you orbit a flat earth with a frisbee circling it.

Too many sharp edges to look out for.

Cmon’ now.

It’s amazing how stupid people can be. This thread has really pointed that out. The commonly deluded and similarly afflicted can find common ground online. Find silly videos posted by others. That just cements the affliction. Facts and science be damned - it’s all about protecting the delusion now.

and let me tell you this. China is about to get it because the force senses this and they are pissed off about it. The storm troopers have been assembled and they are about to drop the hammer on China. The Chinese didn't get permission to mess with the gravitational pull in that sector. Darth Vader will annihilate the Chinese craft and make an example of them so everyone on earth better recognize.

1. Science. Crepuscular sun rays. The rays are at an angle because the sun is close not 93,000,000 miles away.
2. Physics. Bodies of water do not curve and water can only flow down a gradient.
3. Math. Plane trigonometry is used for oceanic navigation.
4. Video. Time lapse video shows all the stars rotating around Polaris which is affixed above the magnetic North Pole.
5. History. The work of the Mayans and their mastering of the dome/clock also reaffirms what is written in Genesis.
6. Archeology. Ancient stone structures which served as clocks aligned with the cosmos that have remained unchanged. Where's the cosmic chaos?
7. Geography. Flights from Hong Kong to L.A. making emergency landings in Alaska only makes sense on a flat earth map.
