The Earth is a globe.

This can be proven by the fact that you can view the sunset twice.

If you go to a flat area, you can accomplish this.
You can lay down, and view the sunset. Once the sun is out of sight, you can quickly stand up and view it again.

This proves that the Earth has a curvature, and is therefore round. If the Earth was flat, this wouldn't be possible. Luckily, since it is, one can experience the sunset twice.

This only proves that there are obstructions somewhere off in the very distant horizon casting a shadow.

Another good thing to note is that the flat earth theory has no real "proof" behind it. There are no pictures of the "end" of the Earth, or even anecdote of people seeing this supposed "end" of the Earth.

Not saying I believe it, just presenting a conceptualized alternative. If nothing else, I am fascinated with the imagination it takes to try and assemble a semi-working model.

I can't believe this is even a "thing" now. People will believe anything they see on the Internet. There will always be conspiracies and fear mongering until the end of time.

Though I don't disagree, the same can be said for TV, our peers, and our schools. A path to truth cannot be based upon hearsay, or what we are taught to think. It must instead be based upon objective methods of reason and observation, without bias.

Smart words...without bias could be tough. Sometimes people believe in what they want to believe, and it is very difficult to persuade them otherwise. As for the earth being round- it spins and revolves around the sun. That is why there are different time zones and the view of the moon is always changing ex full moon, half moon, etc

If we were spinning all the water would be at the "equator"!

It is flat. My flat earth story is like any other flat earther. "i became a flat earther because i tried to debunk the flat earth. The only "picture" we have of the earth as a globe is admittedly a cgi composite, there is no observable curvature, and water unmanipulated always finds it's level, show me a curved ocean.
