Light does curve around the surface of the earth. When you see the sun just over the horizon, it's actually past that point, but is being refracted around the surface.
Correct. This is only one of the many really cool optical illusions you'll see if you spend large amounts of time at sea. Sun or moonrise / set can look HUGE! Same principle.
FE claims Antarctica is an ice wall surrounding the entire planet, and that's why all the water doesn't run off. They completely ignore all the people who sail completely around that continent in a race, keeping track of time and distance.
It's unbelievably stupid, ignorant, etc. OP meme is spot on.
