No one is able to honestly and rationally answer them using a flat Earth model because it simply doesn't match reality and several of these show that Earth is round.

All of these questions have been asked and answered.
Possibly not to your satisfaction, but that's more your problem than ours.

Feel free to launch into a condescending, insult ridden tirade to express your indignation.

No. That is a problem for the FEers as they need to make up complete and utter crap which defies reality to try and pretend their pathetic model works.
It isn't our problem that they can't provide sound answers to back up their delusions.

Most of them aren't even questions. If you want to have a conversation about these things, how about start a thread with a main topic of discussion instead of a pile of links and videos.

Also, use the search. It's actually working at the moment.
I'm sorry. Am I to understand that when you have a boner you like to imagine punching the shit out of Tom Bishop? That's disgusting.

Not a question.


2: South celestial pole is everywhere!

Not a question.


3: So.... how does the sun illuminate light?

 ???


4: Where's your sun?

In the sky.


5: Another question for how the sun illuminates light...

Once again . . .  ???


6: Flight paths?

One per flight.


7) Ships and buildings below the horizon?

Condescending, insult ridden tirade #1:
While your comments are condescending and insult ridden, I wouldn't call it a tirade.
My comments are none.

Your second comment is somewhat more of a tirade, and is condescending.

1 - Yes, that's right. It isn't a question. However FEers haven't been able to provide a rational, honest response for why Polaris appears as it does.
2 - Correct again, and once again, FEers can't explain it.
3 - Yes, a very poor question. It is effectively asking why the sun only illuminates part of Earth, and why it is that particular part. The example provided in the image is at the equinox, where half of Earth is illuminated. Again, the FEers are yet to provide an honest, rational answer.
4 - How condescending of you. Did you look at the link? It shows a problem with the position of the sun as observed in reality vs a flat Earth. It is one of countless examples. So in the sky doesn't cut it.
5 - Again, it has a link attached. Here it is more asking how the sun manages to heat up the hemispheres so evenly when the southern hemisphere has 3 times the area.
6 - Try picking one or explaining any.
7 - Telling us to go look elsewhere isn't answering the question. If you wanted to do that, why not just start out with that and leave it at that.
9 - So no answer then?

<snip>

I've seen explanations for some of these (however I do not stand by most of them, as I'm a RE-ist):

1) Light bends. It does funky shit.
2) Light bends and/or CGI
3) Bendy light rays, probably. Or the data is false.
4) Light still pulling weird shit here.
5) I'm just gonna throw some non-euclidean shit in here. Also, "I don't care you." - Intikam
6) Flight paths are unreliable as there are many factors that are included in deciding flight paths. You should ask Intikam about them. Perhaps there's a jet stream in the south.
7) Light bending, looming and all that kind of stuff. Horizon images are not reliable at all. This one I actually agree with because it's true. What you see at the horizon changes every day.
8) Three youtube links aren't an argument, please write down that the point is here.
9) CGI, or non euclidean bendy bendy light rays.

Just because you don't understand something, doesn't mean it's not real.

And the most frequently asked Unanswered Question:  WHERE'S THE EDGE?

Yes, the Edge, the Limit, the Dropping-off line.  The place where the flat surface of the flat planet stops and the sides begin.  It should be in every direction, if you go far enough.

Contrary to that 19th century Polar Azimuthal Equidistant map that has been 'unofficially' adopted by the FES (similar to the map on the UN flag), it cannot be Antarctica because plenty of ships have completely circumnavigated Antarctica, PROVING that it cannot be the rim surrounding a flat planet.  The Edge must be elsewhere - but even in the 21st century, with airplanes flying everywhere, no proof of where The Edge is.  It seems almost everyone asks where the Edge is and nobody can come up with a convincing answer.

The edge cannot be in all directions.  It can only be south.  ::)

On the FE maps that I have seen, the only two directions you can point in which you will not be pointing toward an edge is straight up or straight down.

You have a hard time understanding cardinal directions.  Are you this confused about everything to do with navigation?

On a GE, no. On a FE, yes.
