    as am I...

    Magellan proved the earth was spherical in the early 16th century when he circumnavigated the globe...

    The flat earthers are a little behind the times...

    Amen.

    Eratosthenes measured the Earth's circumference 200 years BC.

    Flat earthers are double digit CENTURIES behind the times.

    If the earth was flat ???

    1) you would see uniform stars in the sky all at same distance and the North Star would appear the same based on both hemispheres

    2) you would have uniform temperature with no wild winters or blazing summers

    Maybe Antarctica is actually the outer rim.

    Let's hope it doesn't melt!
