Title. We have model A) flat earth and model B) round earth. We go a step away from reality and just compare a round object and a flat object rotating (we see the rotation) with some randomly scattered (but fixed) lights in the background. What's the biggest difference between those two models? For the observer on the flat earth there is one point where all the fixed lights rotate around. For the observer on the round earth there are two points were all the fixed lights rotate around. The moment you have two different points were all the fixed lights rotate around, you cannot be flat anymore. Those two conditions are mutually exclusive. This is our prediction from our simple model and now we look for clues in reality. And Tada. No flat earth.
How do we convince people that the earth is in fact round? Angles from the surface to those two points.
When the flat earthers say: Earth does not rotate, the stars do. Ask them where the difference is. Movement is relative.

How can anyone possible argue against that?

How do we convince people that the earth is in fact round? Angles from the earch surface to those two points. Roughly on the equator you could see both points simultaneously (when you are high enough in the air). On both poles you only see one (they are distinct because they have different patterns). And on (roughly) 45° Latitude you have (roughly) 45° from earth surface to this rotation point.

How can anyone possible argue against that? And this is easily testable. Just set up a nighttime camera and watch the stars. Or even better go to the equator and film both rotation points simultaneously.

(I posted this exact same comment without the "When the flat earthers say: ..." line in a flat earth subreddit and I got muted and banned without any message. Do you think I offended them in any way? Did I violate rules? (GlobeEarth_Polite; A community to politely debate the nature of Earth; only 1 Rule: "Be polite")

Kontext: Ich habe 10 Jahre meines Leben nichts anderes gemacht, als Schule und Youtube konsumieren. Da ich bei meinen Eltern gelebt habe, war ich gefühlt nie einkaufen, hab gefühlt nie gekocht, und Wäsche waschen hab ich auch noch nie. Versteht mich nicht falsch, ich kann das schon machen und ich will das auch machen aber ich finde nie die Motivation dazu, weil Handy und Internet dazu viel zu addictive sind. Ich bin jetzt recht weit mit dem Studium (eine Naturwissenschaft) und versuche das zu ändern. Ich habe eigentlich viel vor und verschwende meine Zeit im Internet (Reddit, Anime/Manga und mobile games. Youtube habe ich mittlerweile schon überwunden und seit letztes Jahr Dezember nicht mehr geschaut). Kurioserweise macht mir das ganze nicht mal spaß aber ich mach's trotzdem, einfach aus Gewohnheit. Das würde ich gerne ändern und genau jetzt ist wieder so ne 4-7 Tage Phase, in der ich richtig was anpacken und verändern will. Mir ist aber aufgefallen, dass ich das schon mehrmals hatte und immer nach eben 4-7 Tagen die Motivation zur Veränderung verloren hab und wieder in alte Muster zurückgefallen bin. Habt ihr Ideen, wie ich das überwinden könnte?

Ich habe einkaufen, kochen und Wäsche waschen als Beispiele benutzt, um zu zeigen, dass ich wirklich nichts nichts neben Schule und Youtube konsumieren gemacht habe. Mittlerweile gehe ich schon einkaufen und koche auch (nur halt irgend nen schund). Außerdem habe ich noch andere Wünsche und träume, die aber dann schon ziemlich viel Persönlichkeit freigeben, weshalb ich auf die nicht weiter eingehen werde.
