@ZackWolfMusic Lmao dude which university are you studying at, what major? I have a hard time believing that you're in aerospace and refuse to accept the fact upon which all of our global navigational systems are based. If the Earth is flat, why can't I see the North Star from any place on Earth at night? Why are some constellations only visible from certain places on Earth (and they aren't far apart either- according to the flat Earth model, I should be able to see the Southern Cross from Catalonia in Argentina, and also be able to, from the northernmost tip of the same country. I can't.) That rules out the possibility that the atmosphere "clouds your view," because the distance between two points equidistant from the Equator (or, in your model, the Ring?) is smaller than the distance between two points in the Northern Hemisphere (or "semi-circle") from both of which the North Star is visible. In other words, the boundaries where the atmosphere "gets too thick" blocking the view of fucking gas giants (or "Firmaments"), is completely put of line with reality, and conflicts with the observable properties of our atmosphere. If I can see the same stars from Mongolia and Norway, why can't I see them from Egypt and South Sudan? Because the Earth is a sphere. Not to mention there are complete videos of rockets with cameras attached going to space. Though if you dismiss it as fake, then you'll have to provide evidence that the video had been doctored, and if you can't, then you're admitting that evidence does not matter to you, because you leave no room for your worldview to be challenged if everything that you disagree with just happens to be "fake." That and, because of the force of gravity, anything as large as Earth would collapse back into a spherical shape under the weight of its own gravity. Oh, and the Earth faces the moon at different angles throughout the month, but always casts a circular shadow; something impossible with a disc.

Can't imagine who! lol

@ZackWolfMusic Not really. I genuinely want to know what you think, because no one has ever been able to answer my questions before. Everyone who believes in conspiracies always tells me the same thing when I reply: "You wouldn't believe me/ you're already brainwashed/ you'd say my sources are fake!" Same exact thing happened when I was talking to someone who was denying the Holocaust. All I asked for were links to documentation of a Jewish conspiracy (video, audio, banking records) and he didn't produce anything. So please. If you do provide evidence, I will eat my words, and become a flat-Earther. I am always open to new ideas. Otherwise, I'll sadly have to assume that you can't answer my question, because there is no way to answer without disproving your idea. Or, if there is evidence, send it to me! I'll be happy to read.

@Chrissy-pf5pd Lots of them straight up believe it doesn't exist. I hope they've considered that a good chunk of Africa, South America, New Zealand, and Micronesia also can't exist then. It's fucking baffling- the simplest and hardest to disprove imo (because it does away with the 'atmosphere clouding your view' argument) is why don't we see the North Star below the Equator? The "firmament" (stars) is visible to the naked eye so it can't be explained away with "the atmosphere makes it too hard to see," so if the Earth is flat, why is one part of it not visible only on a specific part of the "sheet"?
