Flat earth introduction
New here, why did you become flat earthers? What is your belief? How is earth not round when it has been proven countless times and the flat earth theory has been disproven so many times

I became a flat earther either (A) because I was born on a flat earth just like you or (B) because people who belive the earth is a globe started calling me a flat earther in an effort to belittle me for asking questions surrounding topics involved with the conversation. Depends how you want to define the term "flat earther". Either (A) as someone who lives on a flat earth such as yourself or (B) a derogatory term given by cult members who are unaware or aware that they are in said cult. Aka globers.
There is a 3rd way to define the term (someone who knows the earth is flat) which i was driven to as I am in pursuit of the truth as a person and also driven by the group of cultist referred to in situation B.
Any beliefs I have on the matter are irrelevant as the earth is what it is regardless of anyones beliefs. Hence the importance of knowledge... or rather testing things for yourself.
Now your final statement is erroneus and we can verify this ourselves by simply asking you about your claim. HOW has it been proven countless times, name one way? Once you realize there is no logical answer to this question you will understand you're one of these unknowing cult members. Defending something in which you have no experience with and no proof of.
P.S. flat earth theory isn't a thing. That's another term used to discredit flat earth. Which is simply a description of the surface you and I both live, eat, work and sleep on.
1st question: there's no evidence of curvature whether that would mean rate of change of slope or drop over distance
2nd question: not a belief, it's based upon direct measurement of the earth
3rd question: loaded question + strawman. Loaded question: the earth curving at the rate a 3959 mile radius would dictate has never been practically demonstrated, so then it is not proven. Strawman: Flat earth is not a theory it's based upon measurement.
You have to prove that sea LEVEL curves at an approximate value of 8in per mile² for a globe with a 3,959 mile radius... which nobody has ever done. So therefore, flat has NOT been disproven, not even once.
