Why do mountains disappear under the horizon then retard?

>>16834254
Could be just refraction. Ive never seen a mountain disappear under the horizon tho.

>>16834254
Not a flatard but that's how perspective works. Things get smaller over distance and are obscured by foreground objects. The bottom disappears first because it's closer to the ground.

Also, we'd always see a slight "curve" either way because if you draw an equidistant line (limit of vision) from a single point (you), it makes a circle.

What? There’s no curve in Minecraft

Have you been?

Cant you see the moon in the sky, you fucking imbecile?

this is more or less the size of the earth and the red dot represents how high up you fly inside a commercial airplane
what kind of curvature are you expecting to see from this low?

>>16837396
Have you been to space to check if the earth is flat?

how do flat earthers explain this? we can see the earth's (round) shadow in the moon

The one thing I've never seen someone explain is how the sun can go below the horizon during sunset, if the earth is flat

>>16837439
Or how you can literally check live cams set up around the world to see the Sun's movement throughout the day in a way that's consistent with the Earth being round.

>>16837439
>>16837455
sunset, moon eclipse and completely different stars on each hemisphere also rotating in different directions
this is the holy trio that flatties fear the most

>>16837428
I would go to space to check, if space existed, which it does not.

That doesn't mean what you think it means. Something being "spatially flat" just means you can reasonably use the Euclidean distance to reliably calculate how far away something is (as opposed to a Riemannian distance, which inherently accounts for curvature). Any smooth 3d object with an interior is "spatially flat."

so you see mount everest from your house?

>>16837430
you can also see the Earth's shadow on the clouds if you fly the plane in the right spot

Maybe you can as for special permission to leave your mental asylum accompanied by an carer?

>>16833886 (OP)
welp, OP proved it, guess the earth is flat? The real question now is if its elipitcal or a perfect circle?

>>16833886 (OP)
Why do crazies have to be into flat Earth theory? Flat Earth is so boring. Hollow Earth is much more interesting. A whole mysterious underworld to explore! And there are in fact huge unmapped cave systems underground which you can at least try to use as crappy "evidence", still better than flat Earth that gets refuted by having working eyeballs.

>>16833886 (OP)
Do you ever get bored of flat earth? I find it profoundly boring.

>>16838599
I guess you can have undiscovered continents past the ice wall, but it is probably just full of smelly Indian scammers scamming boomers.
