I am not sure how the image below (taken from that video Neil posted a few days back) can in any way be reconciled with reality. The sun would need to be in a million different places at once.

I like this simple diagram much better. ;D

Well, Neil understood my point even if you didn't.  If you terminate the lines before they cross over one another and then point out to space, the vast majority of the lines coalesce at some point not too far from the earth, at the top of a conical structure.  And that is where flat earthers would put the sun, relatively close to the earth.

That works for some of them, yes. Are we just ignoring all the ones that shoot off in completely different directions?

On an unrelated note, still curious what you make of the camera thing from the other thread btw. Hopefully my mspaint mockups made sense.

And, if there's a solid dome, reflection off the dome might account for those strays around the perimeter.
