Buuuut Earth is technically* flat - trust me i'm an engineer !
*technically flat, unfortunately there are some details with some tolerances of curvature/protrusions ;) :D
u/Evspra -sorry if missunderstood, of course earth is not flat,but as (almost) mechanical engineer I was unable to not mention those poor joke about "flat earth" here above :D
Curvature of earth is claimed to be 8 inches per mile. Average person might be 0,001 (1/1000) mile high or less, so can anybody even notice 0,008 inch difference with bare eye ? That's the scale. It is just like some 1 stout hair breadth.

8 inch per mile squared, and you dont use the persons height you use the distance between observer and an object, how are you an engineer?
I know, you could of just send me a message to say keep it out of the chat. Good to see that I am under a watchful eye! :D
