Why do you guys pretend to be actual scientists when you're more interested in the camaraderie of a good circle jerk?

First of all, if in fact you are doing your own experiments, congratulations - In every flat earth thread I've seen so far, when you suggest they do their own experiments, they get suspiciously quiet. So credit where credit is due.
It seems like 90% of the flat earthers are content with low effort shitposting.
Having said that,
>7.5 miles
Why not 50? 100? Flat is flat, right? I don't care about relatively short distances.
Anyway, I'll watch your video now.
Dylan Harris
what about doing the same test, but over 50 miles on the ocean just above the crest of the waves? The reason flat earthers get laughed at is because it is so easy to disprove their hypothesis and estimate the curvature of the earth that it was first done by a Greek named Erastosthenes over 2100 years ago. He did it with nothing other than a stick and shadows over a distance of 575 miles (5k Stadia in his measures. Source: en.wikipedia.org

because it takes 30 seconds to find a video of a boat crossing the horizon on youtube
Levi Brooks
And slightly longer to get a better lens and realize you can still see the boat.
On a flat plane this effect is due to divergence/convergence

Can you please explain this in more detail? I watch a lot of flat earth videos and they often refer the vanishing point and the laws of perspective, but I don't actually know what they mean by this.
David Taylor
Why don't flat earhers just learn physics instead?
Brayden Miller
It's awkward to explain but it's an integral part of graphic design/drafting when dealing with perspective. Everything goes toward the vanishing point(s), things beyond the vanishing point(s) would appear "below" the horizon to the observer.
Hint: It was another technique "rediscovered" during The Renaissance by the Freemasons
Because real physics went down the memory hole beginning Jan 7, 1943

But then why doesn't the North star vanish over the horizon despite being light years away?
Noah Morris
You can still see the boat, just part of it is under the horizon. It is impossible for vanishing point to cause this as that would mean the entire boat vanishes.
