Biconvex vs Globe should be the original argument. Disc vs Ball.
Do flat earthers think of sharp edged biconvex earth? Like that would have had to be the case if you could sail off it.
Do they think that itâs like a Minecraft world where they could see the dirt under the grass at the edge?
Humans had to explore the globe W-E or E-W. No practical way early to cross a frozen tundra and then sail going N-S or S-N.
We would have found out a lot quicker in human history if the polar caps didnât exist.
âGo aroundâ round. It is almost like it is intuitive that the earth is round.
Whatâs happening at the edge is what is the argument. Everyone knows where they are standing is flat. (Which I think is your point)
Youâd have to come up with a plausible explanation of what could happen. Like âYouâd sail off into a voidâ
Yet a globe has no edges and doesnât need a plausible explanation about a weird edge of the earth.
It should have aways rested that you had to prove the earth wasnât a ball.

The usual explaination is âThey donât let you get to the edgeâ, which convrniently allows them to not explain what happens there. Only the conspiracy knows.
