Sorry bro but there is no such thing as a hemisphere:crackup: on a 3D flat earth.
Not sure how many fallacy rules you broke with that argument but I know it is more than one. :chuckle:

I think otherwise. In my city we are visited by cruise ships, and when they travel out into the open ocean they disappear from view, even through a telescope. The last part of the ship you see is the bridge right at the top. If you observe in the same way from the top of the hill, you see the same thing, although the ship is a bit further away from you before it disappears. Now I think about it, it is resonably consistent with your fact of a six foot drop every 3 miles, or 2 metres every 5 kilometres, as we say in the former British Empire.We can see ships in the distance. The Nikon P900 is 83x--magnification. And we are seeing ships, landscapes, and cityscapes at distances that we are not supposed to see if the earth were a globe.
I honestly never realized that the curvature of the earth, if it's a globe, is 8 inch per mile squared. At three miles that's a 6 foot drop. I grew up in Wisconsin, next to Lake Superior, and Minnesota, land of lakes and rivers. I know rivers that flow out of lakes and those lakes are level, not curved. There are rivers that flow into Lake Superior and rivers that flow out of Lake Superior. That, and a few other reasons, is why I decided to both investigate and have a debate on flat earth.
The air as it meets the water will create atmospheric conditions that become a barrier we cannot see past at great distances, even with a telescope. A telescope will also not be able to see beyond the horizon line at some point in the distance.
Some have argued that we should always be able to see the sun, moon, and land across the ocean if the earth were flat. But that would not be the correct model of flat earth. But if you think otherwise make your case.

Lol, same thing you do with the supposed flat earth map: misunderstand, misapply.

So then, airline routes. Is it part of the conspiracy that airlines fly 'over the top', well inside the Arctic Circle on routes between Europe and the US?3. The horizon line always appears straight/flat and is never curved. The horizon always rises up to our eye level regardless of how high we go. The higher we go the further into the distance we see the land and water/oceans rise up before us as a flat plane would do, we never see the earth drop away from us as we would if the earth were a globe.
Tissshhh.
Love the sound of darts being quenched.
Er, wasn't that what I was saying?Reckon you forgot the fact that the closer to the waters surface the faster it is obscured.

With the price of aviation fuel as it is, you will find that commercial air routes will be a good indication of the global shape of the earth.

Post an image file of your preferred version of the flat earth map and I will try to explain why what I have said is true about it being a stretched out 2D map of a globe as viewed from above the north pole, (which is why Australia looks so out of proportion). You can even post an image with the United Nations world map also, if you like, since you and yours say that the UN is supposedly hiding "the truth" in plain sight with that map, (lol). And if not then, better yet, we do not even need to see any of that to know what it is because the latitude lines do not close up at the outer edges but instead continue to spread out to the edge of the map.
Hmm, well perhaps I should give up. It's not a very interesting conspiracy theory, and it's so obviously wrong that there is no challenge in it.Well, wadda ya know.
We may have a new comer not privy to all the relevant posts on the subject.
Why post an image?
All I gotta do is walk out my front door.
, if I may ask your opinion and your indulgence?

You've already disallowed the physical observations of everyone else in the world by way of your own arguments.
Only some people. Those with telescopes.
