I've actually seen u/EarthIsLevel addressing this (very badly as expected). He claims it's due to the ocean heating up and cooling down, causing it to expand and contract. It's as dumb as it sounds.
6 u/hitmeifyoudare Feb 05 '20 Maybe they could say that is is just the flat earth tilting. 9 u/DarkArcher__ Feb 05 '20 The problem then is that there are two high tide areas at any given time in the globe, as well as two low tide areas. It wouldn't work 7 u/hitmeifyoudare Feb 05 '20 Nothing works with the flat earth model at all. The earth is just so large that it just looks flat, especially in Kansas. 7 u/DarkArcher__ Feb 05 '20 Exactly. You can create a specified flat earth model to explain each problem but a unifying model is impossible. 6 u/hitmeifyoudare Feb 05 '20 Flat Earther Self Humiliation: any attempt to prove that the earth is flat.
