I used to work in the mining industry. Underground mines require two shafts for ventilation and safety. If the mines are deep enough (1500 ft or more) and the shafts are far enough apart ( 2500 ft or more), there is a measurable difference between their separation at the top of the shaft versus the bottom. I’ve done that measurement, the earth is round(ish).

If the world is flat, the observatories on the top of Mauna Kea should be able to see Mt. Everest.

If the world is flat why do we change our clocks. What need is there in time zones?

think RJ is bad? I had a student in Physical Science who didn’t believe in air because you couldn’t see it. …I suggested he visit LA

That, and, boats wouldn’t disappear over the horizon. Disproving “flat Earth” is really easy…
