and you have failed again......watching a boat float away out to sea, and disappear into the horizon is proving that we (humans) have limited vision (approx. 26 miles). NOW, pulling out some binoculars or a telescope and looking through them at the same location, will suddenly make the boat appear again in your sight. THIS proves, that there is no curve, and the earth is flat. Telescopes or binoculars can't see around corners or curves


Nope, that doesn't actually happen. An object that is partially hidden by the horizon will remain just as hidden regardless of the telescope you use.

Perspective or not you still cannot explain why the sun is__below__ sea level on sunsets 🔮

#410 doesnt talk about how the sun goes __below__ sea level on sunsets.

I don't know how many times I will have to say this. optical perspective is only a thing because of the 2d trigonometry. The reason everything appears to approach the vanishing point is because the angle between the object and your vision goes to zero.

The more you harp on "optical perspective" while saying the 2d example isn't legitimate just keeps showing you don't know what you're talking about.

Except for the fact that it will begin to disappear, bottom first, and has been observed many times. If you don't believe it then go do the experiment yourself.

Thing is, even Card understands this and will then start making excuses about how the water makes the light curve. His explanation is shit, and he can't even propose an experiment to verify it, but even other flat-earthers don't really deny that this happens.

IMO, earth is the flat plane within the plasmasphere, that we can see out but not in.

When people say if flat - they dont mean pancake flat ,what they really mean is that water is always level and then the land goes from 0 - 30k feet

You can see that the Earth does not spin by using an accelerometer in your iphone and setting it to level in one location - then flying a few thousand miles and its still at the same level - if the Earth was a ball you would not be level, also accelerometers dont use gravity because it doesn't exist.

Better do it fast before they ban iphones on planes though.

As for the shape of the Moon, Sun- could be a ball or just a semi circle dish - idk, we only see one side.

The other gas planets might be the same thing - a gas sphere with a flat plane on the inside

or they could just be wandering stars.

Ive heard this argument about a 1000x , "The Earth is a ball because the stars are balls", which is pretty retarded logic - Pool balls are round - does that mean the pool table is a ball to?

I suggest you look for p900 footage of the real stars and what they really look like, its definitely not like the cartoons we get from Nasa - not even close.

Here's an interesting video of Venus, doesn't look like a ball to me, better not watch it if you still wanna think you live on a ball

This entire thread has given me 3 types of cancer... but this post in particular made me think about hitting the fucking bottle... There was a while where I was working with a private data-collection company that used high-grade equipment to monitor road surfaces. We used really high-tech stuff, but it came unconfigured, as most/all equipment does when you aren't buying consumer goods. When we had to program the accelerometers, you had to be careful to remember to factor in gravity, or else you would get back from a day of data-collecting and have jack-all to show for it because none of it was any good since the un-accounted-for force of gravity mucked up the data. Accelerometers and your iPhone ARE programmed to include gravity in their calculations, and that's why you don't see a constant "1" on the detecting gyroscopes. It's already been accounted for because they assume that the majority of their customers aren't retards.
