One argument that I can stand behind proving the earth is round deals with airplanes. If the earth was flat, they would fly in a straight line towards their destination. This is especially untrue for overseas flights like Chicago to anywhere in Europe. Flights travel in an arcing line that travels closer towards the north pole before returning to their destination because the diameter of the earth is less as latitude degrees increases. If the earth was truly flat, then wouldn't the diameter of the earth be constant at each degree of latitude?

read up on Biomechanics...
our bodies hold the evidence in itself that there is gravity...
our muscles our bones our veins, these systems wouldn't work the way they do if we were being pushed down by the medium we exist in....
Gravity is real therefore flat earth is wrong

is the world was flat you would not be able to fly completely around it, you would just fall off at some point.

Constellations.
Befriend someone on each continent. Ask those friends to name the constellations they can see at a certain time in the evening, once per week or so.
Compile this information and you will see not only that the stars seem to be revolving around us, but also that any star that's opposite of being visible to you, is fully visible for your friends who live in the opposite part of the world.

Why is the moon and sun round but not earth
Here we are on post #78 and I only have about 6 posts that aren't spam.
I'm glad we have the smartest minds in the world gathered here, but I'm going to need you guys to contribute rather than throw a tantrum about the subject matter.
Posting this just to separate the actual participation I currently have from the spam.
I can understand a random passerby coming in here to drop a lol, it's ignorant, but I understand it. However, if you post 4+ times here without contributing I will be reporting your posts and PM'ing a junior mod. Site rules apply here. I can't say it enough, stop spamming in my thread.
Updates coming.
