If you used the same type of camera you would still see the chip disappear in the downwards direction over the horizon. If the earth was flat, the only way you'd see the ship disappear is if your camera could not see that far anymore as the ship kept going further and further.
What?

What difference does it make what people believe? If it's flat, round, hollow it doesn't make your life any better.

As a former Navy sailor who has spent hundreds, if not thousands, of hours as a lookout on a ship, this is bullshyt.

I know how to use a sextant too. Sextants don't work on a flat Earth.

I use to own a ISP that I sold to BellSouth way back when. For my remote clients, I had wireless antenna on towers that I had to point at each other. I had to calculate the curvature of the Earth for a clear Fresnel zone clear of any obstructions. A flat Earth would have made my job so much easier.

Just circumnavigate the world around the Tropic of Capricorn and measure it for yourself.

This is the downside of tech becoming more and more accessible.

The special kids now have a platform to anonymously spew nonsense.

The Wrong Side of the Tracks
360 divided by 24 = 15. Each hour of each day, the Sun's position in the sky changes by 15 degrees. This is an objective fact and can be seen EVERYWHERE on the planet. This change would be IMPOSSIBLE if the Earth were flat just due to simple geometry. The closer you are to the vertex of an angle, the more acute the angle. Conversely, the farther you are from the vertex, the larger the angle. If we assume the Sun is rotating above the flat plane of the Earth, then some parts of the planet would have less than 24-hour days while others would have more because instead of 15 degrees, the angle would be less or more depending upon one's position on the Earth. That, however, has NEVER been observed.

What HAS been observed, however, is this video.......



This is a time-lapse of the Sun's path across the sky in a complete circle (360 degrees) over a 24-hour period in Antarctica. The Sun's angle changes 15 degrees EACH hour. Now, if Antarctica is just the 'rim' of the plane of the Earth, then every continent closer to the center of the 'disc' would have less than 24-hour days. If you're having trouble visualizing why that would be the case, just take a look at this 'map' of a flat Earth.....

See the lines that start at the 'edge' (Antarctica) then converge in the center? They form the 'legs' of triangles. The closer you get to the center/vertex of each triangle (the North Pole), the more acute the angle. Now, looking at the video I posted earlier, mathematically, just how is it possible that the Sun would take 24-hours to traverse a complete circle around Antarctica AND everywhere else on the planet while ONLY moving 15 degrees each hour regardless of your position on the planet?​

Breh, don't do it to yourself. I was wit you on the Mike Jack shyt.
Look at so-called grown men in here attempting to shame other grown men into being fellow brainless followers that don't think for themselves :hhh:

If there was irrefutable evidence, sure. But the problem is that it's not scientifically possible for our planet to be flat. Depending on your definition of "popular", most of these claims are backed by actual evidence (which flat earthers do not have) and research on the shape of the earth.
Psuedo-intellectual nonsense

Nothing in the video shows that the earth isn't round though. Now, on the other hand, can you explain this

Yup

Boats don't vanish over a curve

After a certain distance, the light refracting off of the water obstructs the visibility of the boat or bird, as is clearly shown and clearly explained in this video
