Are you listening to yourself my man?
I work on optical systems for the military, so I thought I'd weigh in with actual science, yet you've gone off on this tangent about how "I can't see it because I'm inside it." You're sounding rather hypocritical no?
But to address your point of an object not "winking out of sight"...if you're actually interested in learning...
Imagine looking into a body of water. If it's deep enough you won't be able to see the bottom. I assume you realize that you have refraction and sediments and particles ect ect. All true. It's also true that air is a fluid, just not one that's dense enough to hold sediments, yet it still holds things that cause light to deflect. It's not just refraction friend, but also reflection, absorption, scattering, and a few more things.
Both camera lenses and your eyes work by taking in light and they see the light that's reflected off of objects. Let's starting putting this all together aight? If the light bouncing off of an object is reflected, refracted, absorbed, scattered, and more by the time it reaches your lens, it will become more difficult to see. The more light emitted the more clear the image, hence the further the light of an object has to travel through a medium(air, glass, water, ect) the less likely you are to be able to make out what it is clearly...which is why the military goes with 'detect' and 'identify' when designing optical systems...but maybe that's too far off topic.
Thus, going back to address your heli example, no, it would not be visible forever in that scenario if the Earth is flat. Assuming the Earth is flat in your heli example, the heli would obviously get increasingly smaller as it departs, which obviously makes it more difficult to see. However, the amount of materials in the air that can interfere with light's travel would also increase, so you would also see the heli get fuzzier until it 'disappears'.
And if for some reason, none of that rings as true for you, perhaps you would consider this google maps link: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/28.190254,-80.5950473/28.4522586,-80.5566903/@28.3177039,-80.5401822,11.5z/data=!4m2!4m1!3e0?entry=ttu
From this beach you can see Canaveral's launch buildings on most days in most reasonable conditions. It's 16 miles away. According to ChatGPT, the calculation of the average person standing with their feet in the ocean should only be able to see roughly 2.88 miles before considering atmospheric conditions....but nah of course, reject the evidence of our eyes and all that 1984 shit
If the Earth is flat, the helicopter will be visible forever no matter how far it goes
Incorrect. There are things in the air that refract/reflect light, thus at a certain point an object will no longer be visible. Foggy days are enough to prove this.
I'm challenging the horizon bit because I see this as a common argument against FE and knowing about how light/optics work removes the horizon argument.
For those who think I'm spewing bull, take a stroll through optical engineering land.
Jab not required to join....doesn't mean they won't force it later

To be apart of something greater than yourself? To do something with your life? To serve your country? To gain skills and knowledge that you hope you'll never have to use outside the Army?
You're speculating on the endgame of Ripple, but ultimately XRP is just a tool that will power the future financial system. What's yet to be seen is who is actually in control of that system.
To piggyback, anyone know how to join one of these orgs to take direct action?
I don't know why, but this seems like AI generated pics to me
Kaitlin is leftist scum, but don't overlook her shiny white attire.
I came here with the Voat refugees. At that time the mods decided to start restricting speech. Us Voats told them that it's a slippery slope that leads to more censorship. Looks like us old Voats were right after all.
Remember..."Be careful who you follow"
Since we digest through enzymes, we actually specialize in digesting meats and fruits. We don't have much in the way of digesting plants, grains, legumes, and all those other things, which is why those are usually what fiber is.
Our teeth are actually closer to predators than herbivores, our digestive track is more similar to a wolf's than a gorillas, and our digestion is done mostly through enzymes.
At first it was great, tons of energy, stronk AF, ect ect. Even fixed all the excess fiber intake from the vegan times....FINALLY no longer constipated after a few months of carnivore.
But as time went on, I just didn't have the same energy from eating the same foods, fat gain was insane, strength was waning, ect. I had heard that your thyroid can get messed up if you're in ketosis for long enough, but I didn't pay much attention to it.
Fast forward to around Christmas...I decided to eat a 2 lb Reeses cup package just cause I could. I ended up losing weight the next day and having a ton of energy. I reintroduced healthier carbs and decreased the meat/fat a bit, now I have a pretty good amount of energy and am losing fat. Still crashing though, so I haven't sorted it all out yet.
I went plant-based a long time ago. During that time I joined the Army. Long story short, I was always weak, fatigued, low energy, low strength, and could never recover from workouts and training in a reasonable timeframe. I was a semi-pro athlete before all that and never had those kinds of problems.
Fast forward to now: I am post-carnivore(because that has its own issues) and have a lot of issues with my digestive system. A lot of my issues with energy, strength, and stamina have been resolved, but there's many more issues that just don't seem to go away.
If you ask me, throw veganism and any other plant-based diet ideas to the bottom of the sea, cause humans were made to eat animals.
Farmer anon, how do I know how much water to give my plants?
It seems like an arcane science to me. I watered them all a good bit daily, except for the ones that don't need it like sweet potatoes and pineapples, but they never grew.
Then, the hurricanes rolled through Florida and dumped way more water on them every day than I could possibly get through watering, and they all grew like champs.
They're in raised beds btw.
I don't know why, but this post seems like a shill used an AI to write it
GAW: DON'T TALK ABOUT CONSPIRACIES LIKE FLAT EARTH IT MAKES US LOOK CRAZY
Also GAW: Woah bros we're in a new timeline now
You can't save them, and, they don't want to be saved
That said....I've been to some rural bathrooms in South Korea around 2012 and they did in fact have literal toilet paper rolls that look like this thing in OP's post. Don't think it was washable though....but I don't really want to know.

I'm in a townhouse that has a balcony with the same floor area as the garage(cause it's above the garage), and I've been building a garden up there. Could use some more shade, but it's one of the only options I've got since it's a townhouse
Reporting from a conservative Florida town in Space Coast....nah man it ain't like that over here
For me, it's the belligerent and aggressive talk, combined with the obvious ignorance of the topic that you claim to have come up to speed on in 5 minutes
Quails, rabbits, garden, aquaponics, honey bees
You could have fresh eggs, fresh meat, fresh fish, fresh veggies/fruit, and raw honey
Only thing missing is raw milk. Might be able to go with goats
This all assumes small land/space and possibly HOA
Yay Inner Earth!
Boo Flat Earth!
...make it make sense...
