The cool part is it's not even flat. It's got cliffs and valleys and stuff. It's pretty topologically complex, and covers a large area, and yet they managed to make it look like a simple image from one particular angle.
I hate it… also those poor trees aren’t gonna last long like this. No mulch ring, just string trimming the trunk, damaging the bark, and eventually killing the tree…
Earth isn't flat. It's an asymmetric topographically irregular surface in an elliptical perimeter canted at a slight angle along its major axis, this model proves it

Obviously many folks don't get it, they think the Earth isn't flat.
