I can see the curvature of the Earth, while looking at the ocean from the top of a 200 ft high hill.
To: Telepathic Intruder
You have to go something like 20 miles to begin to see earths curvature.Really?

This shows that at eye level of 6 ft. the horizon is 3 miles (at sea or on a level plain).
3 miles away to the horizon. Okay. That would mean a roughly 6 foot tall man's head would be even with a roughly 6 foot tall man's feet when standing 3 miles away on a X axis.
Feet-Head
So when you stand on a beach you should see, according to the mathematics (8 inches per square mile), the curve of the Earth when you pan the horizon.
If you are on the X axis and the Y axis is the horizon there should be a visible curve on the Y axis.
You are seeing more than 3 miles, aren't you?

Pan of horizon from Palos Verdes to Santa Monica 7 March 2018 (that's 49 miles, BTW)
Do you see the horizon (the water) curving after 3 miles?

Ah, an image based on a faulty premise.
Why does the UN use a flat Earth map in their logo?
Perhaps they know something you don't and they're rubbing it in your face in your ignorance.

Yeah, there's nothing like a planned show of stupid drivel to drive truly curious minds away.
Or had that ruse not occurred to you?

If you collide a Flat Earther Cabal with Round Earther Cabal you create a wormhole in the Time-Space Continuum. Be warned.

You should have just stop pussyfooting around and just come right out with the fact that you’re a Flat-Earther.

Not really. You can see variations in the surface, hills and valleys and so forth, but not earth curvature from that height. The earth is BIG. 25,000 miles around. Imagine all that weight pressing down on the core as well.
The one thing we tiny humans don't understand is the role we play in the universe. Granted we are freaking huge compared to bacteria or molecules, but that's another thing we refuse to grasp. We are less than specs compared to specs in the grand scheme of things. I happen to be religious, but God doesn't laugh at us because of this. He understands our place in all of this, unlike ourselves.

Literally hoisted on his own petard. Not often can we truthfully say that about someone.

What do you think of my reply 82? Do you see the water curving after 3 miles or is it (the water/horizon) flat the whole way?
Or do you not trust your own senses?
You got anything besides disparaging remarks and sly innuendo?
