When I look through the window I can see the mountains in the distance ==> proof that the Earth is not flat!

@helenS This makes 0 sense. Try again, please.

@TBIman Why? If the Earth were flat there wouldn't be any mountains.
No mountains in flatland!
TBIman · 46-50, M
@helenS when you hear someone say that the Earth is flat they mean that there is no curvature. of course, there are hills, mountains, and valleys, but sea level is the same anywhere on the Earth.

@TBIman I would love seeing you ride a bike on a steep road in the mountains while saying that mountains are irrelevant when it's about the flatness of the Earth.

@TBIman no sea level is always changing

@fortycreek Ebb and tide come to mind.

@helenS I give up on you helen5. Please do not contact me anymore. you are far too brainwashed to have a rational conversation.

@TBIman That's ok – at least I do not deny the existence of mountains that I can see when I look through the window.
Have a nice day.

[you’ve been given up on. Because of the flat earth this is a twilight zone world is Annette@helenS]

@helenS I have not denied that you can see mountains. You see them because there is no curvature on this plane.
helenS · 36-40, F
@TBIman I see them because it's broad daylight. If it were a foggy day I couldn't see them. Or if I were blind.
TBIman · 46-50, M
@helenS I do not know how far away the mountains are from where you are viewing them from. Yes the visablity has much to do with what you are able to see, but if whatever you are looking at should be hidden behind the curvature, then you should not be able to see the mountains. Use an Earth Curve Calculator to determine what you should be able to see. I can assure you that you will be able to see a lot more than what you should be able to.

@TBIman It's completely irrelevant whether I can see a mountain or not. Nobody in their right mind would deny that mountains exist. It's a mystery to me why anyone could seriously claim the Earth is flat, even though they must know there are huge mountain ranges like the Alps, or the Rockies.
The village where my Aunt lives is in a basin, surrounded by high mountains. Go and tell her the Earth is flat. With some luck she will not call the ambulance.
I really can't see how anyone can be so self-centered. They live somewhere where there are no mountains, and now they think the Earth is flat everywhere. 🤬

@helenS If you can see mountains in the distance, that is proof that the Earth IS flat,
