@jex-the-notebook-guy1002 Thanks for telling me. I'm not familiar with that series. I've watched dozens of flat Earther videos, from Skiba, Jeran, Phuket Word, Sargent, Paul on the Plane, DITRH, Crrow777, Marble, Dubay, and many others. I've pretty much given it up, though, since none of it fits what I can observe for myself and/or invokes magic. I prefer to watch the real world.

@connortracy9544 Dirkardo already answered you, but I'll just add this. Flat Earthers often claim that "perspective" causes ships, mountains, the Sun, etc, to seem to disappear over the horizon. But their idea of perspective, which should really be called "flerspective", is actually a kind of magic, and shouldn't be confused with real perspective, which I can define in one sentence: the apparent size of an object, or distance between objects, varies inversely as to its distance from the observer.
That's it. Nothing there about things seeming to be cut off from below by the horizon as they go over the curve. Nothing about eyes at all- it's not really a law at all, just a simple consequence of geometry that's also intuitively obvious: an object twice as far away will look half the size.
Not only does perspective not help flat Earthers explain sunsets- it shows that the Sun cannot be nearby, as they claim. If it were, it would appear much bigger at midday than when near the horizon. But anyone can see (with a piece of dark glass) that the Sun does not change its apparent size at all. Look for yourself.
