Flat earth

I have a friend who is a flat earther, which of course is scientifically false. So i said, I'll buy you a ticket to Australia if you can convince me otherwise. At which point he went on about how the moon landings were all fake!

I was so, we can't be friends anymore, you're crazy.

I've encountered enough flat Earth nonsense here that I've assembled a couple of easy cut-n-pastes:

Flat Earth?? Go to Chicago. Head out on Lake Michigan on a calm day. Watch the city sink into the lake!! No, not really; it's just a bit beyond the curve of the Earth.

Go to Lake Ponchartrain.

Check out the power lines. Take some pictures.

Then check out the causeway. Take some pictures.

Did they build all these wind turbines partway under water? Nope. Curve of the Earth again.

I say "NO, the Earth is round, not flat" Here's a bit of the "round Earth" evidence:

I particularly liked this one proving the "eye level horizon" claim is false

I also liked this one disproving claim 6 (just google for Ponchartrain power lines; hundreds have shot this image)

I liked this one disproving claim 20

And this one disproving claims 34,35

And this one disproving claims 56,57
