Like you, and 99.99% of the population, I was once a glober too. Just like all the "conspiracy facts" that have been discussed on GA, or "anti-vaxxers", or pick your topic of interest that the majority believe is the stuff of tin-foil-hats, flat earth is no different. Once you do your own research, you'll be simultaneously astonished and embarrassed that you ever believed the globe lie. It's beyond conclusive. There's exactly ZERO PROOF of the globe.
If you're a pro-vaxxer, give it 10-20 hours of solid research and you'll never get near that useless poison again. As is often said, there are a lot of anti-vaxxers that were once pro-vaxxers, but there are exactly ZERO pro-vaxxers that were once anti-vaxxers.
So you tell me, what's the #1 item/subject that makes you believe you're living on a globe?
I'm sure flat earthers have an explanation but I've been at sea on a big ship and watched a smaller, faster vessel sink below the horizon. As in the mast of the smaller ship got shorter and shorter until in disappeared. Almost like it went over the edge of a curved surface. Kinda interested in what the explanation for that could be.
Limitations of human visual perspective, quite simply. There's a "vanishing point" at roughly 3-5 miles, weather conditions dependent. We simply can't see any further than this when at sea level.
There are probably 1000+ videos you can find now by researchers that have taken their super-zoom Nikon P900/1000 cameras and demonstrated this over and over and over again. Boats, oil rigs, islands, etc. that are well beyond our visual limitations come right into view when zoomed into - and vanish when zoomed out (normal perspective). They've seen things 7, 10, 15, even 17 miles out to sea. And I might add, yes, they see the HULLS of boats as well. And to be clear, due to atmospheric conditions, there is always a limitation to seeing "forever", like trying to see something through 100+ plates of glass. Humidity, fog, evaporation, etc. eventually distort the ability to see things. You can think of this like seeing a mirage, which is atmospheric distortion.
If the heliocentric globe model were true, all of these things should be hidden by roughly 13-70 feet behind the curve.
There are so many videos of this, I'll let you pick the ones you like. Here are the best channels on YT to learn this stuff. Pick and choose as you're inspired:

https://www.youtube.com/c/DITRH/videos
https://www.youtube.com/c/jeranism/videos
The guy who runs the first two channels is offering 3 bitcoin for one single proof of the globe model. That's like $180K. Nobody has yet taken him up on it.
Updooted for your detailed reply.
Gracias, that's now 1/100th of the way to offsetting all the downvotes I get here for being pro flat-eartn...kek!
