What do flat earthers define as "flat", anyway? Perhaps they need better marketing.
As any civilian boater or ship navigator knows, looking out towards the horizon of an open, calm sea does not lend itself to the FE's use of commonly understood adjectives. They need to do better from the get go.
Well I tend to agree with your sentiment. And to wit, most legit "flat earthers" don't think the realm we live in is "flat". We just know that there's no evidence of the curvature lie anywhere we look.
But I don't understand your example? Looking out over the sea shows nothing but "flatness". You are literally at "sea LEVEL", because everything is indeed LEVEL, as water always finds its LEVEL.
So I'm not sure what you're driving at with this example?
What SHOULD BE available if we lived on a globe are pictures and videos of ginormous water BULGES due to the so-called moon's "gravity" (also fake and no proof). Based on all the establishment measurements they give us, we should have water bulges as high as 13 miles in certain parts of the ocean due to the moon's alleged gravitation pull at its peak. But we've never seen a picture or video of any water bulge of even 100 feet, let alone miles.
Everywhere you look, water always finds its level - even amidst the fictional tale of the alleged massive moon gravitation pull. Quite a head-scratcher, eh?
We've been observing the water bulges forever. They're called tides. Dummy.
Now ad-hominen attacks? What a sad state of affairs.
Where does all the water go at low tide... dummy? Shouldn't there be a mountain of water out in the ocean that has incorporated all that excess water?
This is what the great globe god Neil DeGrass Tyson tell his blindly trusting followers. Or weren't you aware of this defining feature of your globe as presented by your globe gods?
You blindly call me a dummy when you don't even know the idiotic lies your side tells. Bravo good sir, bravo.
Here's your globe god spreading his great wisdom -> https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dreHvsvXR9c
I'll just head back to dummyville now....
Just to be clear, he refuted your argument.
The "dummy" was added merely as an exclamation, not as an ad-hominem argument against your comment. There's a difference.
Fuck off fed.
I think Morpheus has a point .... somewhat.
In the Med there is hardly eb and flood as tides. Maybe a couple of inches. From west to east we are talking 3000 miles or so. The interesting part is: it differs from place to place. In some places it can reach a difference of 1 meter or 3 feet.
The same goes for other places around the world having 3 or 4 tides a day instead of 2.
So, what we learned at school, that the moon is responsible for the tides (think spring-tide = storm + tide) may be somewhat questionable. The model generally works so no one thinks about it.
For instance, does it matter if a coast line is under a certain angle with the moon making the tide there more or less?
Why does the North Sea have a tide but the East-Sea, or the Baltic sea does not? What's the difference? Does it make a difference if the water is salty or sweet? How much water column do you need to get tidal effects? How about the Caspian Sea?
I dunno the answer to these questions. I looked for them somewhat, and learned quite a lot. But the questions are still valid.
