At Bonneville salt flats, Utah, they say:

"This place is so flat, it is said you can see the curvature of the planet in its horizons."

It goes to show how flat-earthers keep trying to dumb-down the discussion.
They're like the progressive education policy makers who are destroying our schools these days: dumbing down the schools.
.
I made just one post that included:

Why a straight line track on earth for large distances is not possible

What the shortest distance is between any two points on the earth

Shorter arc of circle passing through both points + this circle has largest radius possible


This video also covers why navigators do not generally use GC route plan but series of short Rhumb line segments

The reason is GC course execution is not practical since it requires constant course adjustment port and starboard

Short segments of Rhumb line however only need occasional adjustment with steady rudder settings in between


So how do they respond?
Do they have anything to say about the shortest line between two points on earth? No.
Do they have a comment about large distances being impossible to track with a straight line? No.
Anything about arc or circles passing through points and their radius? No.
Navigators? Do we have questions or comments about navigators? No.
Have they learned to type "GC"? No.
Can they type the word "rumb?" No.
.
All they have to say is:

Pretending a line is an arc or a plane is a sphere is the common tom foolery of the globalists.
An individual's reality changes when people arbitrarily change definitions with an intent to deceive.
.
Actually, I could have written these mundane idiocies in advance for you but why bother -- let them dig their own grave.
.
Hey, Ladislaus, why don't you drop in and shred this bad argument?
That's what you're good at, remember?
.
I do not have a lot of God-given talents, but I am very skilled at shredding bad arguments to pieces.  I can see logical flaws miles away and rip them apart in seconds.  Other than that, I have a very poor memory, and not very many talents in other areas.
.
Rip it apart in seconds!  Go! Go! Go!   ................................

Still waiting for Ladislaus-the-bad-argument-shredding-genius to step in and show off his stuff.
.
Waiting for what, 4 weeks? Or is it longer? No, about 4 weeks now.
.
Hey, Ladislaus!
Remember your favorite canard that you find it "compelling" that a ship apparently receding beyond the curvature of the sea can be brought back into full view by zooming in with a camera lens? 
.
Remember that?
.
Or have you forgotten all about it?
.
Maybe we need to show you some links to your past posts where you said that............

Ladislaus is still hiding, after a month.
Hey, Ladislaus! Do you think by ignoring it this is going to go away quietly?

(Or as Matthew hates to see, "quitely?"  :cowboy:  )

The word on the street at Bonneville salt flats, Utah:

"This place is so flat, you can see the curvature of the planet on the horizon."

Why a straight line track on earth for large distances is not possible:
---- Flat-earthers have no answer to this. The best they can muster is "perspective!"

Why two courses initially set parallel one mile apart will converge after 300 miles and cross paths
---- No response from flat-earthers! If they ever do respond it will be to deny this ever happens, or it's trickery: we're being lied to!

What the shortest distance is between any two points on the earth
---- Again, flat-earthers have no answer to this. They want to say, "straight line," but they're afraid of the rejoinder.

Shorter arc of circle passing through both points + this circle has largest radius possible
---- The best flat-earthers can do here is to say that an arc is a straight line because the earth is a flat plane. (They like to say "plain.")

This video also covers why navigators do not generally use GC route plan but series of short Rhumb line segments
---- Flat-earthers cannot muster the gumption to pronounce "rhumb" because they deny its existence, like "ellipsoid."

The reason is GC course execution is not practical, since it requires constant course adjustment to port and/or starboard rudder
---- Flat-earthers don't know what GC means, nor do they care. It's not endemic to their flat-earthdown-syndrome thinking.

Short segments of Rhumb lines, however, only need occasional adjustment with steady rudder settings in between
---- This is ENTIRELY OVER THE HEADS of flat-earthdown-syndromers. Entirely Over Their Heads. EOTH.
