Well @Yabai I've asked a few times before and gotten no response.

what did you ask ?

I want to debate the shape of the earth, flat vs round.

k ?

Or at least have someone explain to me why they believe the earth is flat, because I believe it's round.

i know it's flat because it makes more sense than some ball spinning in space with water in it and we don't we feel anything

I asked in a less demanding way a few times now and got no response, so I felt like I had to be "louder" if that makes sense.

alright if you really wanna debate the vc chat is the best place for you

If the earth is flat, then why can I travel in a straight line and return back to where I started?

have you ever tried it ?

if so

how ?

i mean exactly how

in a plane ?

No, I haven't done it personally, but I know if I were to head east, and hypothetically I could go in a straight line with no obstacles, I would return to my starting point.

Also, how do you explain the curvature that you see when you get to a higher elevation (ex: the top of a mountain?)

even if you haven't done it how do you know it's real also from canada to south america they never done it why ?

never seen any curvature it's always flat

I've been in a plane, just not around the world, and I can say I've seen the curvature over the horizon.

How would a flat earth curve?

You can circumnavigate east-to-west on the flat earth map and come back to your original point as well.

But how does that work for a flat earth?

yup

Because the flat earth model is a monopole. The north pole is in the center. I'll get you a pic, hold on

I thought you just said my circumnavigation point made no sense.

north pole is in the center. Following a path on a compass east or west will also navigate you in a circle.

What is this debate about?

not a debate, really, just questions and answers

I know of an easy way to prove round earth.

I had proof but I can't upload images.

No permission

Its to do with the night sky

does it involve two celestial poles?

I said look out at the horizon from a higher point of elevation

cuz that's my fav evidence. :3

It curves

For example, I live in UK and the night sky here is different compared to Canada since they are pretty far away from each other. However, this only works on a round earth.

I never thought about that, you can see different constellations and stars at different points on the earth, that's what you mean right?

Yeah
