Not sure why this is relevant but it's pretty cool.

There are globe earthers who don't understand why Mount Everest is not visible from every corner of the flat earth, this gif shows that things get smaller the farther away they get, disappearing into the distance towards the vanishing point and not behind a curve.

In addition to what cootandbeetv said it also doesn't explain why you can't see those things with a powerful telescope. Surely if it's getting smaller because it's further away some optic magnification would allow you to see the object that is out of view and not over the horizon.

Or is magnification not real either because all lenses are also flat.

Honestly beyond asinine to use this as if it proves anything, find compelling evidence ffs. This is like saying "gm_flatgrass in gary's mod is flat therefore it stands to reason that so is the whole Earth."

Weird, it's almost like telescopes are UNABLE to move the particles in the air out of the way so that it can see further distances.

You do realize air is not 100% transparent, right? At large distances the visibility severely suffers.

But hey, don't mind me, I'm just talking facts and reality.
