The shadow for the stick in France near equinox was almost a straight line.
Almost a straight line...
Like this? There seem to be plenty of straight lines here.
On the other hand...
This is not a straight line, as I discovered trying to get it to conform to this globe. I had to draw three separate arced lines, in fact.
Your babbling.
Can you actually address the issues of a sun circling above a flat earth.
This is back to the sun on a flat would have to visibly turn in the sky to complete its circuit. This would result in the shadow of the stick circling about the stick.
Because the spherical earth rotates about its axis and orbits the sun,
The shadow for the stick in France near equinox was almost a straight line. With a sun that goes straight from east to west with no visible turn as required for a circular orbit.
The sun doesn’t visible turn in its course because the sun doesn’t circle the earth.
Explains why the sun doesn’t change apparent size.
Explains why the sun becomes physically blocked from view where a telescope that can bring stars to faint to be seen with the naked eye into view can’t bring the sun back into view after the sun sets.
Game over for FE
Gameover man, gameover!!!!
Yes, so if you try to walk or drive or anything else east, what happens? It appears to be a completely straight line. You hop on a boat, and go from east coast US to Spain in the sam latitude, straight line. From Spain, without changing latitude, you hit Italy, Turkey, part of Iran, some of the -Stans, China, then it's a straight line to west coast US, and a straight line back to east coast US where I started.
It you draw a straight line until it comes back upon itself, you get a circle (a disc really). To prove a sphere, you have to be able to do the same with not only the North Pole (which is the center on FE), but the South Pole (which would be the edge on FE). You have to prove the the south is not likewise looped to make Earth a sphere.
But of course, non-VIPs like me don't get to fly to South Pole to see if you can fly through. "It's easy to do!" you say, with a huge amount of privilege., while I look at $30k pricetags. Sorry, $62k, I must've lowballed it.

You keep telling everyone it's gameover, but I'm still playing. You haven't debunked anything. Again.
So yes, you can see the sun's path in a straight line but it disappears as the straight line bends around a corner. No, line of sight is not infinite, but it's substantially different from the sort of viewpoint we'd get looking at the sun from the side of a sphere.
Meanwhile, you might want to explain the strange secrecy when people try to explore the south. It's a simple question. If the public has nothing hidden from them, they can easily open flights to Antarctica for free, so people can see for themselves. Instead, they tell you again and again the sort of nonsense doubletalk that is "no you don't need a permit to visit Antarctica! Don't be absurd! It's not a nation, it's free for all to enter! But you'll need alot of money. And a fur coat or ten. And permission from host countries. And you can't go here, here, or here because those poor seals or penguins. And this area is a scientific zone. And this area is a protected historical zone. And these areas you'll need a passport from another country because it's property of Portugal. Or Spain. Or Norway. And when you were thinking of flying over Antarctica, you can't because the South Pole is a no fly zone. You're allowed to fly across the edge of Antarctica, but by 'edge' we mean miles away."
https://www.antarcticacruises.com/guide/do-you-need-a-passport-visa-or-permit-to-go-to-antarcticaCitizens of countries that are party to the Antarctic Treaty—which now includes more than 50—need a permit to visit Antarctica: a requirement established in 1998 with the Treaty’s Protocol on Environmental Protection adoption. But most visitors don’t have to really worry about how to get permission to go to Antarctica, because tour operators typically take care of the requisite permits. Folks who are taking the uncommon route of an independent trip to Antarctica, though, need to make sure they obtain permission.
Those residing in nations that aren’t party to the Antarctic Treaty might technically not need a permit to visit Antarctica, but there’s a catch: If they’re traveling via a tour operator based out of a country that is party to the Treaty, they will need a permit regardless of their citizenship. (Again, though, the tour company is almost assuredly taking care of that permission.)
It should be noted that the permits obtained by tour operators don’t provide you with unrestricted access. Travel on the Antarctic continent is highly regulated and restricted: a good thing not only for protecting the White Continent’s ecosystem, but also visitors themselves.
Kinda sounds like, "If you stray off the trail, you get shot," doesn't it?
Yeah uhhh, there are other environmental zones on Earth, but we are able to fly over them. I was able to fly past multiple African countries to get to South Africa. I was able to fly through Russia to visit China. So until you address why all the secrecy, I'm afraid the game is over. For you.
I can explain how the line becomes a circle while appearing straight. But you can't explain why the very area the would put to be all discussion of FE and RE to bed is off-limits. Unless the truth is already discovered, and those in power don't want us to know it. Since those in power are ppl in NASA and other acronyms, I have my answer.
