I think the ability to think spatially is a factor, though.
I don't deny the flight exists and wasn't aware people did. *Shrug*Glad you think so.
In fact, the mere existence of that particular flight disproves the flat earth. That's why flat-earthers deny that the flight exists.
Let's be honest here, conversations with 10-50 FEs isn't going to prove anything in this regard. How about surveying?Hard to give them IQ tests. So far, in conversations with multiple flat-earthers, I've noticed:
- ignorance of the facts
- inability to reason spatially (i.e. to imagine what one would see on a flat vs a round earth)
- mental illness (in some cases people have admitted that)
- and other things
You guys REALLY need to stop feeding that turtle gummies. Just saying...I think you've all been had by the OP.
But while you are all gathered in one place, let me ask you...
If the earth isn't flat, then please explain the turtle? Well?

Did you know?
Turtles support a flat earth.

I suppose that's logical enough.Hey, he supports flat earth, we feed him whatever he wants.
That's exactly what it's like. Flat-earthers keep telling me that what I see out of my window here in Australia isn't real, and that the aeroplane flights I've taken aren't real either.
It's not allowed, is it?
Furthermore, why assume there is an "edge" anyone could travel to?
Have you done any research on the conditions in Antarctica?
The international treaty?
The massive barriers of ice?
A better question to ask is... "Is there an edge?"
Why assume gravity exists? That mass attracts mass, purely of itself and not due to any sort of magnetic force?
Do day and night make sense on a flat Earth? They can.
You can't see the South Pole or China, or any other ridiculously distant land from New York because ... We don't see infinitely far, atmospheric distortion, and simply how our eyes work (field of vision).
How difficult would hiding Earth's shape from humanity actually be? Think about it?
I'm sorry but this tap dancing doesn't work. There are many tens of thousands of people who who work for government agencies that deal with data, observations and analysis that contradict a flat stationary earth. They ALL have to at some point actively decide to ignore or cover up those data, observations and analysis. Just in the U.S. alone that would include NASA, NOAA, NRO, USAF, NSF, USGS, etc. We can also throw in Elon Musk and all Space X employees. How about AT&T (DirecTV), Iridium satellite phones and other private satellite owners and operators? What about all those amateur astromoners who observe the ISS looking exactly like the ISS and not a plane or balloon?
On the FE the trip from Santiago to Sydney should be several times longer then the trip from Sydney to Los Angels... it isn't.I don't deny the flight exists and wasn't aware people did. *Shrug*
Ever look at the pyramid of the American one dollar bill? Only the capstone can see the truth. Are you so certain that it can't be done? That it hasn't? What about "the big lie"? Do you deny that people believe things, supply because those things are repeated enough times? That they are big enough?
We're taught the globe as children, no? Did we question or? Did you? If so, what was the answer given?
That's exactly what it's like. Flat-earthers keep telling me that what I see out of my window here in Australia isn't real, and that the aeroplane flights I've taken aren't real either.
There were recent reports (right after Christmas) about 2 athletes completing a crossing of Antarctica (across the South Pole). These reports were complete with pictures, television interviews, etc.
I can't remember if it was on here or not, but while discussing the Sydney to Santiago (or Johanesburg) flight that flat earthers say doesn't exist and someone noted that they had actually taken that flight.
Stars, which are different from those visible in the northern hemisphere, and which rotate around the south celestial pole.
Also, very long summer days.
And, on one occasion, Antarctica -- when I had a window seat on this flight (the one flat-earthers say doesn't exist):

Far too many people make assumptions about “Flat Earth”. Everything from the model to assuming the matter is closed for discussion. There was a reason Barack Obama once said, “we don't have time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society”. While the obvious is that he was mocking those who deny human-caused climate change, he also highlighted the fact that determining Earth's shape would take more time than he cared to give .
Is the Earth flat? To determine the answer, it's necessary to consider why we believe the world is a sphere. Is it because boats disappear over the horizon? Because of a lunar eclipse? Because an experiment done long ago which few of us have repeated, says so? Perhaps it's because of NASA's Blue Marble or other similar images? Maybe it's because Americans went to the Moon? Perhaps you remember seeing the curve at a beach? On a commercial flight? Maybe you have a friend who's a pilot and he showed you high altitude footage? Because experts told you it was?? What's your reason or reasons for believing the world is a sphere?
If you have only one reason, how many other things are you this certain of, yet only have one reason to believe is true? For example, do you believe in Bigfoot? Space aliens? Psychic powers? Past life experiences? Near death experiences? Heaven? Hell? Angels? Demons? Giants? Ancient technology? Do people get abducted by space aliens? Is the government hiding space aliens? Ancient astronauts? What proof for any of this do you have?
Does Earth orbit the Sun or does the Sun orbit the Earth? Is the Earth solid with a molten core or is it hollow? Is there land on Earth, hidden from modern maps? Does Eden exist? Was Atlantis real? Was Jesus Christ resurrected from death? Is the Holy Grail real? Do Satanists or Luciferians rule the world? Are there world-wide elite pedophilia rings? Are chemtrails real? Is there a depopulation agenda?
I could go on listing things people believe in. However, I think you get the point. So… Why do you believe the world is a globe, orbiting the Sun? Can your reasons have other explanations than what you currently accept?
The fact is, people ARE questioning the shape of the world and they have good reasons to do so. While many will inevitably disagree, claiming this multitude of people are ALL poorly educated, (and maybe some, even many are), the fact remains that not ALL are. So... Let's look at why we believe what we do?
It's a well known fact with evidence coming from 500 years of global travel, astronomy, geography, engineering etc etc.
