With just your eyes⊠And a big lake or sea⊠And a ship⊠And the knowledge that water lies level.
Similarly itâs not exactly understood from birth that lunar eclipses are the earthâs shadow.
You gotta work all these things out and make more complicated observations than just looking at the horizon.

Youâre right, I should have come up with a way to tell the earth is flat with just your eyes but of course nothing around to cheat with like things to see with your eyes.

I think you probably get the point.

The moon rotating at the same rate as its orbit and always facing earth could be used to reinforce the concept shape idea.

Most flat earthers donât believe space exists, so talking about orbits is already a step beyond them.

The only way this answer could have been more hung up on the letter instead of the spirit of that comment, would be if you had said âwith just your eyes you can watch a video explaining that the world is roundâ.
