What is odd to me is how angry and condescending people get about the flat earth topic. It’s ok to have a different opinion than someone else.
Theres a big difference between opinion and facts...
Flat earth has NO facts... and the "opinions" are just wrong
just blatant denial of the obvious due to a fanatical belief in the bible and a few vague claims
So there’s no chance that you could have been lied to about what you are living on?

Not when you cite proof and evidence the earth is spherical over and over again, and that proof is ignored and blatantly misrepresented.
Where threads claiming flat earth theory are “true” are placed in the ludicrous on lies forum.
How can photographers zoom in at 50-75 miles and see the bottoms of building on a clear day? If you go by the calculations of the globe, this would be a 1600 - 3700 feet below line of sight.

He realized that if he knew the distance from Alexandria to Syene, he could easily calculate the circumference of Earth. But in those days it was extremely difficult to determine distance with any accuracy. Some distances between cities were measured by the time it took a camel caravan to travel from one city to the other. But camels have a tendency to wander and to walk at varying speeds. So Eratosthenes hired bematists, professional surveyors trained to walk with equal length steps. They found that Syene lies about 5000 stadia from Alexandria.
Eratosthenes then used this to calculate the circumference of the Earth to be about 250,000 stadia. Modern scholars disagree about the length of the stadium used by Eratosthenes. Values between 500 and about 600 feet have been suggested, putting Eratosthenes’ calculated circumference between about 24,000 miles and about 29,000 miles. The Earth is now known to measure about 24,900 miles around the equator, slightly less around the poles.

Oil rigs off the coast of Santa Barbara give us some great opportunities to view the curve of the Earth. But they also provide great opportunities for refraction to confuse the issue. How do we know it's not just refraction on a flat earth that just LOOKS round? I've added the oil-rigs to my refraction simulator, so people can experiment with what refraction is capable of doing. Also to demonstrate that you can't actually make a Flat Earth look round with refraction.

Behind the Curve' Ending: Flat Earthers Disprove Themselves With Own Experiments in Netflix Documentary
BY ANDREW WHALEN ON 2/25/19 AT 5:04 PM EST
www.newsweek.com...
Campanella devises an experiment involving three posts of the same height and a high-powered laser. The idea is to set up three measuring posts over a nearly 4 mile length of equal elevation. Once the laser is activated at the first post, its height can be measured at the other two. If the laser is at eight feet on the first post, then five feet at the second, then it indicates the measuring posts are set upon the Earth's curvature.
In his first attempt, Campanella's laser light spread out too much over the distance, making an accurate measurement impossible. But at the very end of Behind the Curve, Campanella comes up with a similar experiment, this time involving a light instead of a laser. With two holes cut into styrofoam sheets at the same height, Campanella hopes to demonstrate that a light shone through the first hole will appear on a camera behind the second hole, indicating that a light, set at the same height as the holes, travelled straight across the surface of the Flat Earth. But if the light needs to be raised to a different height than the holes, it would indicate a curvature, invalidating the Flat Earth.
Campanella watches when the light is activated at the same height as the holes, but the light can't be seen on the camera screen. "Lift up your light, way above your head," Campanella says. With the compensation made for the curvature of the Earth, the light immediately appears on the camera. "Interesting," Campanella says. "That's interesting." The documentary ends.

Will this help? Farther down is a cited source concerning oil rigs at sea. Or this link.

Hope that helps.
It all started about 2000 years ago.

An oversimplification.
But it is documented light refraction bends light so objects over the horizon can be seen.
But the oil rig at sea is a more accurate account because of water finding it’s level, and the surface of the sea literally maintain sea level, vs the chaos of land above sea level. And it’s changed is elevation.
And the oil rig account holds true to the cited experiments below.
Spherical earth wins again through experimentation. No room for your “illusions”....

Now that there is proof of spherical earth, and the issue of oil rigs at sea address your concerns. Will you continue to still play nice?
So no, that’s not proof of anything.

They condescend because it's a brain washing tactic.
Break down sense of self: Break down their sense of self-esteem, literally attack them as individuals on the basis that they are wrong and that the group is right.
The entire perception of the world is built upon a false reality, and the people are part of that Matrix, they will fight to keep the false reality alive because it is their entire identity.
At the end of the day none of these people have ever gone to space. They have their graphs and numbers but will never have direct experience.

Look at the picture I posted. "Flat earther" is just an umbrella term for people who don't believe in globe theory. The earth isn't flat like a piece of paper.

All you have to do is walk to know the earth is flat or stand to know we are stable and not spinning.
