It's just a painting.

We're all living in a huge 'Truman Show' style dome built by NASA.

That video he linked to on Youtube It's just a bloke with some googled pictures using google Earth and guessing on distances and altitudes, not exactly a scientific study.

How does the OP explain why people bothered building those lighthouses tall in the first place? How does he explain what James Bradley referred to as the "Aberration of Light."?

You claim nobody but you has supplied any evidence.

You've supplied (drops into "iamatwattheearthisflat" mode) no evidence, in one of your previous posts, you outed yourself when you posted a link to YouTube and a gormclops off there congratulating on a video that YOU had made in the comments section.

Your evidence so far has has been made up of your own charlatan gormcloptitude shadowed by your various nefarious gormclops mates spouting tedios drivel.

I think there is a fair mount of mileage in this one .....

Cos now I accept that the world is flat ... innit? ... there is so much more I want learn about it.
What is on the other side?
How thick is it on average?
How does the water and atmosphere stay on at the edges?
Is it a disc?
If I take an aeroplane too far in a straight line, what happens?
The questions are endless. Thank goodness the earth is flat, this is exciting!

Can I fall off the earth?

Firstly if you were that interested and watched the links the answers are all there.
Water never curves. So how does water curve and stay on a globe ?

Can't be bothered reading the overly long OP but if the Earth is flat (and I have no preference or preconceived idea) when people circumnavigate the world how do they do it? Go round the "ends" and underneath / over? If so, what do they see and why is it not different to everyday experience?

Notice there has been no reply to this!!

There is just no pleasing you is there?
First you convince me that the Earth is flat, then you start insulting me for asking you about our brave new world.
You're not really very nice at all are you?
I may go back to believing the Earth is an oblate sphere.

Water certainly does curve, according to the force exerted on it.
Take a meniscus for example or a bubble in a spirit level.
You know that the Earth's water is curved around the globe by the Earth's gravity.
You're just not letting on ... it's no fun that way is it?

Also, the line you drew on the sea's horizon (would in real terms) be dozens of feet thick at the horizon, but looking suitably thin on the photo... thick enough to mask the curvature.
Oh, and the Moon curves it too ... heard of the tides have we?
You my friend are a fake!

If this is a troll. it's jolly good fun.
If it's not ...well ...?
