Yes, of course.
One thing I learned from arguing with a deranged wife is that the hardest thing to prove is the obvious. Further, if you ignore the math you can believe literally anything.

I suppose this will eventually be traced back to 4chan or Reddit, where the trolls love to rickroll you.

Flat Earthers HATE mountains.
You never heard of anyone falling off a beach.

As a thought experiment I tried to come up with irrefutable proof the world is round.How about the fact that it casts a curved-edge shadow during lunar eclipses?
How about the fact that the North Star distance above the horizon depends on how far from the equator you are?
Use the Altitude of Polaris to Find Latitude.

We left LAX and went off the edge of the earth. Look out the window, nothing but dark. A few hours later, we came back over the other edge, and out the window we saw Japan.
So yeah, the earth is flat.

3 is uniformly greater than 2

Pfft! Flat Earth: Who Cares???
This data has been suppressed for YEARS and yet; the Government just REFUSES to allow the data reach the real people it affects so badly!!

Then there is Mensa.
Mensa, as you probably know, is a national organization for people who have an IQ of 140 or higher.
One day, several Mensa members went out for lunch at a local café.
When they sat down, one of them discovered that their salt shaker contained pepper, and their pepper shaker was full of salt.
How could they swap the contents of the two bottles without spilling any, and using only the implements at hand?
Clearly, this was a job for the mighty Mensa minds.
The group debated the problem and presented ideas and finally came up with a brilliant solution involving a napkin, a straw, and an empty saucer.
They called the waitress over ready to dazzle her with their solution.
"Ma'am," they said, "we couldn't help but notice that the pepper shaker contains salt and the salt shaker has pepper."
But before they could finish, the waitress interrupted: Oh, sorry about that."
She leaned over the table, unscrewed the caps of both shakers and switched them.
There was dead silence at the Mensa table.

Once, when I was outdoors, a man approached my place in Colorado to ask about how to get to a particular gentle slope on the side of a peak. He said that he and his academic team were going to look for Bigfoot.
I’d already had a guess as to why people like him were pretending to look for Bigfoot and making false documentaries and interviewed him accordingly. He not only admitted excitedly that the effort was to oppose traditional beliefs and promote Atheism, but he started preaching about it.
Before he left, I told him to be aware, and that he might even hear loud woofing noises from above him and his party on the slope. I said that bears sometimes make that noise around dusk as a warning to approaching people (true—sounds almost like humans playing a prank). There were a few bears in the area he asked about. He asked more questions about the bears and talked about changing his friends’ plans for camping overnight up there.

Everyone south of our southern border is part of the conspiracy. They're lying, when they claim that they can't see Polaris.

It’s also possible that there is no southern hemisphere, and that people claiming to have been there are lying. ;-)

If there was a Southern Hemisphere, everyone there would be upside-down, their blood would rush to their heads, and they would eventually die from it.
