That is the question I would ask any flat-earther. "Grab a camera. Take a picture of it and show us."

too many folks read Terry Pratchett as gospel or a science paper, instead of the Sci Fi it is?
To silly to even discuss.
Flat Earth International Conference-
Same folks who have gone to every Star Trek convention.
If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.
And yet some people persuade themselves of such things. And how many other subjects qualify as flat earths in their own right? UFOs? Bigfoot?
Climate change?
Actually there is a ton of evidence for that. If CO2 was not odorless and tasteless, everyone would know the levels are going up all the time. It's effect on energy absorption is well-studied. We'd be on a ice world if not for CO2. Yes, some is good, too much maybe not. (Trying to avoid turning this into a CO2 thread)

But seriously, if anyone ever meets a flat-earther, please ask them for me where the edge is. I mean, if there isn't one, then free land out there on the horizon, right? It boggles the mind.
You can talk to yourself, you can answer yourself, but don't get into an argument with yourself -Gollum.

If the earth were flat, you should be able to see right to the edge - on a very clear day. You go to sea at all, you can see the horizon from main deck. Go up to O2/climb to the maintop and you can see a horizon that is farther away. That means your ship is on a curved surface. If you can sail around it one direction and return to home port, it is a surface with a closed curve.
It's a myth that sailors were terrified they might fall off the edge. Press-ganged landsmen, maybe. There was plenty else to fear once you sailed past the Pillars of Hercules.
