They claim if you look out at the horizon, everything is flat. Even if you look over Lake Michigan to Chicago - the horizon is flat.
Any body of water conforming to the curvature of the Earth would exhibit a bulge in its centre, according to Flat Earthers. They argue that the natural physics of water to find and
