I wonder why the flat earthers haven't been smart enough to buy a weather balloon, attach a GoPro to it and launch it up into the air to find out for themselves. You can buy a professional grade weather balloon, that will make it up into space, on Amazon for $22 with free shipping, attach a GoPro Hero 5 (you don't want to go all out and get the 6 just in case an alien steals it) for another $199 on Amazon with free shipping. A SPOT GEN3 GPS locator for another $149.95, so you can find your GoPro before the weirdos with their metal detectors find it. A small styrofoam capsule to put everything in, make sure it is light but sturdy. You can get two on amazon for $21. Cut a whole so the camera can see out of it and mount the camera in there good. Some handwarmers, 10 for $5, to throw in the container to keep the camera from getting too cold and reducing the battery life. You don't want to get up in space and have the battery die. It is a long flight. A parachute so your project doesn't plummet to the earth and take out some old lady on her way to get groceries. An 8ft wide parachute runs you about $70. You will need a radar reflector, $25.73 on Amazon, mounted on your project so that airplanes can see it and you aren't responsible for taking out a Boeing 777 full of passengers on their way to see grammy and grampy. You will also need duct tape, lots of duct tape.
Now slap it all together. Fill the balloon up with helium and let it go. Oh and don't forget to turn the GoPro on.
I think the flat earthers don't do this because easy experiment because if they did then they wouldn't have anything to post about in their mom's basement anymore.
Very good point!!! In fact any flat-earther who refuses to arrange this experiment on some level, is clearly just a troll. Nice one :-)

I think most of the flat earthers are just a bunch of people that don't really understand any of the nonsense they are spewing. They are just regurgitating the same thing they have heard from all the other flat earthers with no true understanding of what they are saying, while they are attempting to sound smart. They are just too dumb to truly understand how gravity and the world works so they come up with stuff like this:
