Finally it has been explained. When I literally fell off the side of the ocean (to my horror) I thought I was a goner. I'll be way more carefull next time and stay closer to home. Silly me, thinking I could actually keep going forever.
Earth is flat. Prove me wrong.
Sort:
Pluto isn't a planet. Ipso facto.

No, they are probably round. The Earth is flat likely due to intelligent design.
That's why it's hard for me understand the flat earth, because it's too intelligent for me. You should see the design of my living room, it's embarrassing.

There is no ocean at the edge of Earth; instead, there is the Antarctic ice wall. Earth is centered around the North Pole with Antarctica at the edge. No one has ever crossed this ice wall to see the edge due to the inhospitable conditions. There have been explorers who have attempted to circumnavigate Antarctica finding out that they had to travel a lot more distance than they had expected.
Expectations or not, they need to keep going. Progress I say!
During lunar eclipses, you can see the ROUND shadow of the earth on the moon's surface.

The earth is still a circular disk. There are lights all over the universe, and sometimes, they shine from directly behind the earth to create a round shadow on the moon.

Reminds me of a line from a song by the late Tom Connors: " You may think it's goofy but the Man in the Moon is a Newfie " ( fits right in with this thread lol ).
Why is the Earth Round?

Don’t listen to the Flat Earth Society, they’re wrong; the Earth is round. But did you ever wonder why the Earth is round? It all comes down to gravity.
One of the effects of mass is that it attracts other mass. For small objects, like your computer, your car, and even a building, the force of gravity is tiny. But when you have millions, and even trillions of tonnes of mass, the effect of the gravity really builds up. All of the mass pulls on all the other mass, and it tries to create the most efficient shape… a sphere.
For smaller objects, like asteroids, the force of gravity trying to pull the object into a sphere isn’t enough to overcome the strength of the rock keeping it in shape. But once you get above a certain mass and size, the strength of the object can’t stop the force of gravity from pulling it into a sphere. Objects larger than about 1,000 km in size are able to pull themselves into a sphere.
In fact, the International Astronomical Union decided in 2006 that this ability was one of the requirements for an object to be considered a planet. They must orbit the Sun, they need to have cleared out all the smaller objects in their orbit, and they need to have enough gravity to pull themselves into a sphere.
When an object has the gravity to pull itself into a sphere, astronomers say that it’s in hydrostatic equilibrium. And that’s why the Earth is round.
Of course, the Earth isn’t perfectly round. Because it’s turning on its axis approximately once every 24 hours, the Earth’s equator bulges outwards. And there are mountains and valleys that make the Earth’s surface rough.

NASA has never given acess to the raw data that supposedly prooves earth is round.

yes if OP says that it is thruth, just not to be blocked
.
If big brother says that, just say that, in case.
Galileo discovered that , earth rotation, better to shut up.
If North Corean leader says that,just say "ok" to finish turism.
etc ...
"Truth on this side of Pyreneans, Error on the other side" discovered Voltaire and Newton too.

Walked out in my back yard, looked and measured the turf. No question it's flat. Gravity is fake. Our weight holds us down. Drop a bowling ball on the floor. Where does it go? No where.
A round earth is a scam developed in the 1930s to bail out the "big globe" industry, which at the time was owned primarily by the Rockerfeller family.

You are wrong. It's a square. Chess is played on a square of many squares for this reason. Now, back to my square game study.

The shadow is always the same no matter the relative positions of Moon and Earth. The only object that has the same curvature in all directions is a sphere.

No, they are probably round. The Earth is flat likely due to intelligent design.
