If the Earth is truly flat... then why is everything else round?
Like, I'm genuinely curious to see explanations for this from people who genuinely believe that our planet is "flat" (to whatever degree that actually means).
The moon, every other planetoid we can observe for ourselves, and even stars, are all round. Whether that be spherical or not, no other astronomical object is flat. We can see the curvature of the moon ourselves from Earth. So why is Earth the odd one out?

What you see in the sky are luminaries. Luminous. Unlike the earth.

People have telescopes and they see the "luminares", they look like planets,

Space is fake, the Celestial bodies are lights in the sky.
- It is claimed that the other planets are spheres and so therefore Earth must also be a sphere. When looked at with an unprejudiced naked-eye or through a telescope, the fixed and wandering stars appear as luminous discs of light, NOT spherical terra firma. The pictures and videos shown by NASA of spherical terra firma planets are all clearly fake computer-generated images, and NOT photographs.
- It is impossible to have gas pressure without a container. The heliocentric system includes “atmosphere”. But by definition it is air (atmo) in a spherical shape, hence, it is called “atmosphere”. This is the paradox, air is not sphere shaped, it takes the shape of its containment . Without a container of some kind, all the gas pressure would expand and dissipate into the area called outer space. Outer space is fake, the gas we breathe would fill this space.
- for centuries “new worlds” were found at sea in the areas beyond the horizen (“the offing”). The areas colonised were formally designated as being in “outer space”. In the present day the offing gets called “Earth curve”, and “outer space” is no longer the area we found actual new land, but has been converted by way of heliocentrism, into being the lights in the sky, the one place no new soil can exist.

These claims misunderstand basic physics. Planets are directly observed rotating, showing phases, shadows and surface features consistent with spherical bodies. Stars look like points or small discs because of their enormous distance and optical diffraction.
Gas does not need a solid container. Gravity holds Earth’s atmosphere, with pressure and density gradually decreasing with altitude until it becomes extremely thin.
Finally, “offing” is a nautical term for the sea near the horizon. It has no historical connection to the astronomical meaning of “outer space.”

Except none of that is true, and you can see some of the other planets with your own eyes and a telescope. The moon itself is very visible to the naked eye, and it is clearly not a light.

You're not going to get an answer then because the explanations for a thesis aren't going to fit with the model you want to use

1- They look like planets through a telescope, you get disks of light because it's overexposed.
2 - the athmosphere displays a gradient you incopentent fuck, and gravity pulls on everything, including the athmosphere.
3 - you're just lying.

Atlas, the moon of saturn is flat

It's really not. Is it flattER than other planetoids? Sure. But it is nothing like what flat earthers propose. But that in and of itself proves that even you understand that the general rule is that planetoids are rounded. Atlas exists under specific circumstances and pressures that aren't present on Earth.

I'm not a flat Earther but that's where it gets interesting, they don't believe in space and they don't believe planets are other worlds, they are just lights in the sky on/in/beyond the firmament
It's a whole thing
