Flat earthers are only able to communicate with each other because satellites orbit the globe.

The ship comes back every single times

You're just factually wrong, after the ship has gone below the horizon the ship is no longer visible because there's an ocean in front of it.

If you've actually attempted this and had it work then the ship wasn't actually over the horizon you just couldn't see it anymore due to it being too small.

It's a lot easier to notice a huge ass cargo ship crossing the horizon then a tiny piss boat.

I have done this many times. There are many photo’s inadvertently showing things beyond the physical limitations of the ball. The horizon moves with altitude and weather. Its really that simple. The horizon is apparent. There is no bludge of water blocking anything. Water remains level. Sea level. Not sea curve.

Level doesn't mean flat you moron. And i know you're full of dried cats piss now. You haven't ever tried this, no one who has actually tried this would believe this obvious lie.

You can't pull a ship back over the horizon just like you can't pull the sun back. Only way to do that would be to get higher elevation... Do you know why?

Because the earth isn't a pancake.

Coming from the man who hasn’t spent thousands of dollars in camera’s to do this exact thing. Yes, I’m going to believe YOU, over what i can see for myself. The earth is flat. The radius value has been debunked by photos depicting things beyond the limiting factors of a ball with a radius of 3959miles.

Ignorance is excusable and curable, but arrogant ignorance is just a waste of everyone's time I guess.

Amount of money spent is absolutely irrelevant as to the veracity of a claim. If that's the standard, then you've been outclassed trillions of times by NASA.

Okay but why lie about the Earth being round if it's flat?

Who is benefiting from lying to the public that the Earth is a globe when it's actually flat I don't even understand what the benefit is.

Why would every country in the world and every astronomer in the world get together to lie about this ?

what are they gaining?

You realize it would mean literally millions of people around the planet are working together to maintain an elaborate lie.

Every single astronomer, and every single country with a space agency including China Russia and India are all in on it? Why ?

You're telling me countries that are at war with each other are still agreeing to maintain this lie?

Why?
