Someone posted some images that "prove" curvature. Is there anything that can disprove this claim?
So someone had taken some pictures that apparently prove curvature. Also how do I send images on here o.o

yeah just ask the altitude of these pics
Images can't "prove" curve.
This question needs to be made more thorough by indicating what it is in an "image" (I'm assuming you mean photographs, images are by definition altered pictures) that proves curvature - which must be a rate of change of slope of the horizontal, revealing a rate of change of slope that is measurable: no longer having 0 slope.
Details such as the viewer height, distance being viewed and weather would clarify this question of yours and the claim they make, otherwise there is no data to set juxtaposed to the geometric claim of a 3959 mile (6371 km) sphere.
If there is no substantiation of a claim, what is there to disprove? It is nothing more than a begging the question fallacy, in which case you should reply with the phrase: "Hitchen's razor".
Because it would be as moot of a point as saying "this image proves flat" with no other language to indicate how it proves anything at all. If there is no empiricism, then it is not objectively investigating anything, it is at that point nothing more than wishful thinking.
