How about you get your own drone, with w/e lens you want, then submit the prove its flat?

Unless you can't afford 100$ and 20minutes?

Also, explain jet lag and time zones in a way that makes actual sense.

The sun is a spotlight which shines light on a concentrated area, so not everywhere on Earth will be lit at once. Times zones exist so that everyone's clock will be at 12:00 around the time the sun is approximately directly overhead.

In most of the world, the sun is never even close to directly overhead.

But nice try.

Approximations is what FE are full of.
Imagine if science was working that way, we would still live in caves with torchlights

So now anyone with 100$ and 20 minutes of free time around sunset can prove the shape of the earth. Neat.

Yeah, there's a building in i think Dubai that prints multiple menus for Ramadan since sunset is different for the top apartments.

Not one single shred of proof that the earth is round

Not one single picture

Nothing
