Stop acting like you have a shred of the knowledge required to test it yourself. You cant, no one youve ever met can.

Certainly not with that attitude. Have you never been in a tall building? To a beach? In a plane? And no, I'm not talking about seeing a curved horizon, but rather observing objects and landmarks falling below the horizon from different viewing heights.

I spent the first two decades of my professional life as an architect, so I know a little bit about construction (and physics and math). A good portion of that time was spent doing sun studies (figuring out exactly where shadows will fall depending on date and time), and I can tell you from my own experience and knowledge that the sun's shadows behave exactly as they did when the ancient Greeks not only figured out that the Earth was round, but also its diameter (all from the ground!).

Heck, check where the Earth's terminator line is right now, call some random people in area codes along it, and ask if the sun is setting or rising at that moment.

Get an app like Star Walk 2 or Sky Tonight and watch for yourself the Sun, Moon, planets and stars move through the sky exactly as "they" tell us they should.

There are so many experiments you can do yourself, and the results somehow always match up with what we've been told to believe. I'd challenge any flat-earther to show me using a flat earth map where the sun is setting and rising or the direction and distance its shadows should fall. Or how long it should take for a plane to fly between two distant cities by measuring on one of their maps. Or where the stars should be in the sky at any given moment in time.

You just "believe", because that narrative has been pushed down your throat since birth.

You're the one simply repeating what you've heard. "Water finds level" is a dumbed-down sound bite repeated by people (really mostly TikTokers) who think they now know better than everyone else while at the same time claiming nobody has the knowledge to test it themself. You think you're uncovering some kind of conspiracy, but you clearly only believe what you can see in your own view and are refusing to look and think further.

Honestly I can't even fathom how closed off someone's mind has to be to think the Earth is flat just because they haven't seen it from space themself or that "water finds level" is some kind of gotcha while they don't even understand enough high school level physics to know that water IS level on a globe when the water level is always the same distance from the globe's center of gravity.

And i'll ask you as well, where do you think terra mar is?

I have no idea what you're talking about here. Feel free to educate me, and certainly feel free to ask for clarification on any specific globe-Earth topics that you don't think make sense. I'll be happy to answer.
