That Cross is huge 🤣. Weird, dumb and very ignorant lady

If the Earth is flat, then how do ships disappear hull-first over the horizon? If the Earth is flat, then the ship should appear progressively smaller until it is no longer visible (distant things appear smaller). u/ChristJesusisReal, you are the most confident flerf I've seen in this sub. Do you have an answer for this? My mind is blown.

The first image is of the ISS going across the moon. There are apps that will tell you when you can see such an event near you. The originator of the image provided various data about the image.
I made measurements using a CAD system to confirm some of that data.

The second image is just a screen shot of a search for "ISS transit".
There are dozens if not hundreds of such images out there, some NASA, some professional, some talented amateurs.

At ~100 meters in length and with an orbit of 400 km the International Space Station is the largest satellite in low Earth orbit.

At its closest, when directly overhead, the angular diameter is

arc-tan(100/400,000) = 0.0143 degrees
= 0.86 arc-minutes.

Without binoculars or a telescope the ISS is only visible as a dot of reflected light.
With magnification, you get the images in this post.

Satellites are visible from the surface of the Earth

and from the ISS:

There are around 10,000 satellites, but more are being launched, so let's double that to 20,000 satellites.

The vast majority of them are in low Earth orbit (LEO), between ~200km and ~2000km from the Earth's surface, or ~6600km and ~8400km from the center of the Earth.
Let's place all the satellites on a sphere 320 km above the Earth.
The surface area of a sphere with a 6700 km radius is
4 pi 6700^2 = 564 x 10^6 square km

That would give 28,200 square km per satellite.

But as stated, satellites are not in a single shell, but are spread out at various altitudes.

We use the phrase "as flat as a pancake". Well look at this!

Early Roots: Earlier variations, such as "as plat a kake," were used in the early 15th century, but the specific pancake comparison solidified by the early 17th century.

"Plat a kake" sounds an awful lot like planet!

Common Uses: People use the phrase to describe level land, calm water, or anything completely flat.

"Level land, calm water" or anything completely flat! The term was created to prove that all land is flat and water is naturally calm or level!

Check mate Globers.

How do Flerfs explain the tides, is there some weird reason? or is it the same as everyone else.

Do you feel that the flat earth is real? Then put your money where your mouth is and bet on it! If you bet on the flat earth being real you get 100 times your bet if you are right. More importantly you will get skin in the game and you get a badge to prove it!

If you feel that the flat earth is not real, you can also bet, but you only get your bet back if you are right due to the probabilities of the matter.

The Heliocentric religion is for the sheeple

Hello flat earthers 👋👋. I've been a member of the flat earth community for over 5 years now. I came to be a flat earthers after taking the plane for the first time in my life. I didn't see the earth curve one bit at the altitude we we're flying at even tough by round earther logic I should have been able to see it. People need to wake up and understand that not everything you are taught is therefore the truth. We used to think black people weren't human. But the newer generations woke up to the injustice and changed the perception of slavery. We can't be stuck in the past and in our old and traditional believes.

I've lost many friends by my believes and many family members don't want to see me again because they are stuck in their 🧃 made believes.

Even so, should I just accept that we are backwards as a species and accept defeat?
