Flat earthers all need to try this one weird trick. Around the 5th or 6th floor of beachfront hotels you can start seeing the curvature of the Earth versus straight lines. An example would be a railing on about balcony, line the ocean up in the center and sure enough two edges will be dipped down below that. My problem is so many of them like this gentleman have something to sell, it's all a grift
There is no way to reason with a flerf. They are either lying/trolling, so won’t WANT to reason, or complete idiots, who are uncapable of doing so.
They'll just come up with some nonsensical excuse. Look at the ones that setup experiments in 'Behind the Curve'. They setup I think 2 different experiments that show results you would expect from a spherical earth and they hand wave it away. You can't logic someone out of a belief they didn't logic their way into.
There was a funny one where someone debunked flat earth using the flat earther's own photograph where you could see the curvature if you zoomed in.
