Roads are flat.
A common trope in flat-Earther literature is that roads, canals, etc. are built flat — not taking into account the curvature of the Earth.Star trail photography proves that the Earth doesn't move.
One particular claim is that long-duration star trail photographs do not show any movement of the stars other than that caused by the Earth's rotation, the flat Earther's reasoning being that, if the Earth is moving so fast around the Sun, the stars should appear smudged.Where's the curvature?
A lot of flat Earthers attempt to disprove the globe model by using pictures taken from high above the earth with a flat horizon, thereby "proving" that the Earth is flat. After all, if the earth is round you should see the curvature of the Earth.Why are there no REAL photos of the Earth?
One common argument used by flat Earthers is that they are no real photos of the earth.Why don't rivers flow uphill?
A common argument used by flat Earthers is that if the Earth was actually round, rivers would have to flow uphill.Why is travel banned to Antarctica?
It is a "proof" that Antarctica surrounds the earth.
I do not believe in this theory, these are just the arguments i have came across.
Real photos of the earth... In real time... Every 10 minutes...
From the Japanese weather satellite Himawari 8

More real images of the earth...

Flat Earthers don't seem to understand that the direction of gravity is always towards the centre of the Earth, so the uphill argument is nonsense.
Roads aren't flat. They do need to take account of the curvature of the Earth. Here's a great example... The road bridge over Lake Pontchartrain...
its point 4 that i really just disagree with.
so many independent sources for images of earth, its not just NASA in space.
also travel isnt banned to Antarctica right? [something could be going on down there still :P]
even so, i do love reading about stuff like this, it is pretty interesting.
I just wonder why anyone would have such a massive conspiracy for this. Why get all the scientists to lie? They say it's about 'controlling us'. There's easier ways to do that. There's too much distrust of science these days
