Look man I’m giving you simple, legitimate ways to observe the curvature of the earth, or if the earth has no curvature, observe the flatness and easily prove me wrong. If you just want to cover your eyes and plug your ears that’s your choice, but don’t pretend you’re doing anything different.

And you can actually very easily measure the force of gravity btw; not sure where you got it in your head that everyone just takes it for granted. At sea level, gravity is constantly accelerating all matter toward the center of the earth at approximately 32 feet per second, per second. Again you can derive this value yourself by dropping any heavy object (or light object in a vacuum, because air resistance) and seeing how long it takes to fall different distances.

I think your main misunderstanding is one of scale. Yes, the earth rotates quickly compared to speeds you normally encounter day to day. However, the earth is extremely large. Even rotating at nearly 1000 miles per hour, it takes an entire 24 hours to rotate once. That means over the course of just 1 hour, you are experiencing only 15 degrees of rotation around the earth. That’s .25 degrees per minute. AKA completely imperceptible, and since everything else including the atmosphere is also experiencing that motion, you obviously are not going to feel like you’re moving 1000mph because everything else is moving just as fast. And you aren’t flying off into space tangent to the earth’s surface, because gravity is easily counteracting that tiny bit of angular momentum and curving your trajectory back down.

legitimate ways to observe the curvature of the earth

incorrect. just because it appears ships go over the horizon, or that because an object falls does not equal proof

observe the flatness and easily prove me wrong.

i do observe the flatness. and it is easily provable. GYROSCOPES STAY CONSTANT IN SPACE AND DON'T SHOW MOTION

you have given me optical illusions, i've given concreate evidence that requires mental masturbation to mangle into ball earth (the motion can't be detected.. because because because)

but don’t pretend you’re doing anything different.

you know the truth of what you do. i know i am being honest with myself.

all matter toward the center of the earth at approximately 32 feet per second,

yet once an apple hits the water its stops.

and a balloon with hot air or helium goes up.

buoyancy explains it all, gravity isn't necessary

Even rotating at nearly 1000 miles per hour, it takes an entire 24 hours to rotate once

yawn. literally moving at mach 1 .. and turning a 'corner' very slowly yes... but a corner non-the-less .. and we should feel that .. we should be able to use a gryoscope to see it

none of these things are true.. and you still cling to crazy ideas ..

that the more you study the more they fall apart

like polaris .. above the north pole .. yet the earth supposedly moves MILLIONS of miles in orbit around the sun.

there is no 'polaris' like star in the south pole .. there is no star set that you can see all night long. .. things are different down there ..

literally the proofs that the ball earth is a projection of the satanic forces to make you into a slave for them

fight for the right to be slave. i find it rather amuzing. i know i am right. i have talk to and interacted with enough bullshit schill fucktards to be certain someone is paying these losers to argue with me because their arguments avoid all facts, and continue to retain the deluded vision that excludes new information as if it didn't exist

RAIL ROAD TRACKS ARE LEVEL COAST TO COAST IN THE UNITED STATES ..

WITH ONLY UPGRADES -- AND DOWNGRADES .. all always returning to level.

yawn. this fact cannot be disputed. this fact is beyond your stupid fucking boats.

this truth, that looking down a railroad tracks also sees it disappear into the distance, not because it went over anything

BUT BECAUSE OF THE HORIZON ... literal .. physical .. visual perception that just is
