Don't kid yourself, we all know you have no friends.

Who are you again?

Your owner.  Literally.

Oh, you're that guy. Whoops.

Have someone else answer the door.

I found spelling errors, making you wrong.

QED world is flat.

But it's obviously supporting your cause. By your argument, wouldn't the picture disprove your FE theory?

Offtopic and already discussed.

So far we have 5 pages of angry RE'ers, none of whom carry any valid counter-argument. Does this spell the end of their magical model?

So far we have had a whole forum of angry FE'rs, none of whom carry any valid argument. Does this spell the end of this magical fourm?

Wait, what's so wrong with links?  If the link can explain it better than you can, shouldn't you just give it?

There's a difference between presenting an argument using proof, and letting the proof speak alone. Presenting a faux-witty comment and following it with a link that explains nothing is only proof of lazyness or incompentence. However, a cited argument is different.

No. No bribes, you'll be taken to a NASA ministry of love, where you'll be tortured and brainwashed into believing everything NASA tells you, eventually you'll end up in this kind of situation

NASA man holds up a picture of the world "What shape is th world?"
"It's round!" you reply

"If NASA tells you it's flat what shape is it?"
"It...it's flat..." You reply
"You're lying, you don't really see a flat Earth, that's no good"
electrocutes you
"Now, what shape is the world?"
"Flat! Round! Triangle! I don't know anymore!"
"Good, the world is flat, isn't it? do you see that now?"
"Yes, yes the World IS flat!"

Then I'll have a friend of mine beat the crap outta him. He should wake up, then.

As the official flat earth society spokesman, I am obliged to inform you all that that map is an incorrect depiction of the flat earth model.

Yeah, Mephistopheles should be in the upper-left corner.

Let me help you a little here.
First, TheEngineer believes in RE. He just enjoys taunting and bullying rather than education.
Second, the answer I would suggest is "by using modern navigation equipment such as a system including a Sperry Gyrocompass". When he starts going off about how he has to constantly reset his gyrocompass in his airplane, just point out that you said, "modern".

Good luck in dealing with this hypocrite. There is more advice about him in The RE Primer.

I just realized that I can't read the file extension. Halp?

Your challenge is well-documented (kudos to Trekky) as Experiment #0013 in The RE Primer.

I am now aware of this document, and I am eternally grateful. I am still curious as to how certain members of this community would choose to answer the question.

You know what? Screw parallaxes. Assume for a moment that you're on a boat, 50 miles offshore from a mountain. It has been observed (don't even try to turn this into a conspiracy, I've seen it), that as you approach the mountain, it is partially obscured, but as you get closer and closer, it is less and less obscured. When you're closer to shore, you can see the bottom.

Answer me this: why does this happen? Assuming the Earth is flat (indirect proof olol), your line of sight, even at a distance, should show the bottom of the mountain. But that's not the case.

Does it make a difference? People have claimed to, but if you don't believe them, attempt to repeat them yourself.

Unfortunately, these are not Scientists, Diego.

Yes, the scientists are the ones taking accurate measurements, and proving things by legitimate method.
