I'm just throwing this out there because I am curious to know if flat earthers are out there doing anything great. For example, round earthers are building satellite communication networks, artificial intelligence technologies, and things that allow knowledge and science to be able to build upon itself and stand on the shoulders of giants.

Surely flat earthers recognize the pattern that all of them are at home doing science experiments and ignoring the science that has already been done, and allowing breakthroughs to take place. I'm curious if they've ever noticed that flat earthers have essentially resigned themselves to starting over from scratch and therefore are not able to actually make any breakthroughs as a community that benefit the world or add new technology infrastructure. Especially since, if what they say is true, they should find themselves at a huge advantage to those who are struggling to work in the paradigm of a false globe.

The fact that, as your elevation increases, the distance you can see increases. This only makes sense on a sphere. If the earth was flat, you should be able to see 50 to 150 miles in any direction before air distortion prevents you from seeing further. But at sea level, you can only see exactly 3 miles in any direction. Period. If you go higher, you can see farther. It literally only makes sense if you’re standing on a ball. How is there any debate? How do flerfs explain this?

A simple model explaining moon phases. if this doesn't explain how you can see the sun and the moon in the sky at the same time, nothing will.

Thank you ChatGPT and CODEX for making my model come alive in a simple conversation.
