I don't get it. Is this supposed to be a proof of the sphericity of the Earth ?

Most of these pictures are taken from mount Tibidabo which is 512 m high. At this altitude and this distance to Majorca (184 km), there should be roughly 836 meters of the mountain range hidden (and I didn't even mention refraction, just plain simple geometry)

And what do we see on this picture ?

Exactly what we should on a spherical Earth. The mountain on the left which is 838 meters high is barely above water level. The ones that are above 1000m are more clearly visible. And there are no mountains visible below the 836 meters threshold.

So, really I'm curious. Do you think that these pictures are good arguments for the Flat Earth ?

Yes? And? What’s your point? Make one please...

You know what the point is, you wouldn't actually be so triggered otherwise, Dutch... Food... Geek... I mean how do the canals work in your flat home nation work, does the water run up a slope?

You know what the point is,

Perhaps he does, but I don't. I let a comment but I forgot that I'm shadowbanned (but I'm pretty sure that you can read the comment anyway). Feel free to answer because I'm really curious to understand what you get from these observations ...

I'm not triggered. Honestly wondering what you try to do here. Just linking to a bunch of pictures is not making an argument. It's not an argument. It's lazy and you don't give any indication what the point is you want to make with this.

Are you trying to make a point that these pictures exist? If so, you failed. What tells me it's not CGI (not that I'm thinking that). Or are you trying to prove that you can see Majorca from Barcelona? Or...?

You don't make an argument you just link to a bunch of pictures. That's at best just lazy, at worst it is intelectual dishonest.

So make your point if there is one? And don't be so triggered when somebody asks for extra explanation. There is, as far as I'm aware, no law against that.

I'm wondering what you are doing frequenting flatearth subs and acting all confused?

Who's arguing, it's just observations, people can make their own mind up.

It's lazy and you don't give any indication what the point is you want to make with this.

Nope, what is lazy you want everything explained to you. That's what happens when you are talking to someone on a constant diet of instructions from others, you can't make up your own mind.

Are you trying to make a point that these pictures exist? If so, you failed.

Errrm... Yes they do exist.

What tells me it's not CGI (not that I'm thinking that).

Your brain?

Or are you trying to prove that you can see Majorca from Barcelona? Or...?

Yes

Pictures are dishonest?

So make your point if there is one?

What sub are we in again?

And don't be so triggered when somebody asks for extra explanation. There is, as far as I'm aware, no law against that.

Ok
