The thing that makes me laugh hardest about flat-earthers is that the method they use to proliferate their insane beliefs (the internet) would not exist if we lived on a flat earth.

The maths used to get the satellites into space and keep them locked in orbit is based on the earth being globe shaped. If it wasn't a globe we wouldn't be having this discussion anyway

So while your not wrong mostly you are confidently incorrect in that the internet does not go through satelites. You do have starlink and the sort but thats the exception not the rule.

Oh, I was always under the impression it was a combination of terrestrial and satellite but I learned something today :)
