1 reason that should convince any round earther the earth is flat

That's funny curvature shouldn't be measurable left to right at sea level.

I've seen people measure a horizon drop with a theodolite but I think you don't know what you are talking about.

Whats next? Toilets flushing in different directions? Travelling west in a plane is faster than travelling east?

Edit, in hindsight it looks like the picture is on the piss, check your line again.

I'm sorry, it appears that you took a picture that shows the curvature of the earth. Then you backtrack and make some obscure argument which basically amounts to an ad hominem accusation (because you posted a picture showing how flat the earth was then i showed you that the picture you took doesn't show a flat horizon). When you provided a picture that clearly shows a scientifically predictable curvature of the horizon. Please, go on. *eating popcorn*

Please learn basic geometry and tell us again that curvature is visable at sea level.

Here are some links to get you started.

Because you get to be in the intikam fan club

Please explain how I am wrong. You're referring to mainstream media with your third link, which seems a reach for a flat-earther. My simple argument (in the context of this one post, regardless of all the other scientific and qualitative arguments for a round earth) is that you can see curvature based on your terrible picture of the horizon. Your links are out of context and I seriously doubt you have any idea how to deal with any level of mathematics based on your choices of links. Linking general "math" does not make you right, and in fact, kind of makes you look dumb. In my experience, when someone is compeletely out of their league they reference general.. references.. and somehow expect the reader to "figure out" what they're saying... in other words. Give me ONE realistic argument as toward your point. The burden of proof is on you, flat earther.

Probably because I am a "Round Earther."

Lurk more, n00b.

Edit. All the links are applicable, I assure you I can do simple geometric math.

I know the edge of the world. For only 5000 Dollar I bring you there.

Deal.

$1500 Australian?

You pay in advance?

Some chaps went to Worthing Pier and filmed Brighton Pier - and attitude indicators in aircraft have a straight line. Oh and, locally at human being scale, the earth appears flat. I think that was case closed for flat earth.

Yes, locally the earth is flat.
Over one mile the earth is within ±1" of flat: Kansas, even allowing for the Globe's curve and the topography is "flatter than a pancake".

But, to answer the OP, I don't believe that there is any "one reason that should convince" me that "the earth is flat".

This is because it all "hangs together" and explains the observations of our surroundings that we see with our unaided eyes and with instruments .

That is what I mean when I say that the "Heliocentric Globe Earth works". There are so many little things.
       Just one example is that the variation in solar radiation through the day (very relevant to solar panel power) fits the the Globe,

No alternate model I have seen has come close to fitting all observations, though locally the Babylonian cosmology, flat earth and all, comes close.
But this model cannot be extended to the whole world, other than looking on the earth as only locally flat.

Half now half at the edge of the earth?

Final offer.

Maybe you should organise two expeditions. If they meet in the middle, that proves that the South Pole is real.
According to some, three that I could name, that does not prove that the earth is a Globe, nor even that there is no edge.

The Bipolar map supposedly still has an Ice-Wall.  It looks like more expeditions aee needed.
