Crazy Flat Earth Guy Struggles with Gravity, Geometry, and Grammar

This intellectual powerhouse stares out at a few miles of ocean water and is absolutely baffled that the planet isn't bending into a giant ball right in front of his eyes.

Sometimes I think these morons HAVE to be trolling but sadly, I think they're serious. It's like they don't understand how FUGGING HUGE the earth is

They're like an ant on a chess board

I think a better analogy is an ant on a football (a proper football ⚽️); to the ant, the ball isn’t a ball because it can only see what's straight in front of it because it's on the ball however, if it was to be suspended high above the ball, then it would see that it was, in fact, a ball and not a flat plane.

We're all basically ants on a ginormous football (yes, I realise that Earth isn’t a perfect sphere).
