When you are out on your boat this summer or at the beach,, range the land you can see on a clam day, when the water is flat,,, use your phone to zoom in on the coastline,, then use one of these "Earth Curvature" calculators to find out how much curve their should be and how far below the horizon the coastline should be...

What you will find out is that there is no observable curve,, no matter how many times you do it you will not be able to observe the curve that does not exist...

At Sea level the Horizon is 3 miles away...

Everything out beyond 3 miles is below line of sight and not observable from ZERO elevation,, under our current perspective its impossible to observe what is below the Horizon from ZERO elevation...

What you will actually observe is that with magnification there is no limit to line of sight from ZERO Elevation,, you will find out that there is no observable curve...

Have done this several times myself from various locations and elevations...

Rich, are you saying that with magnification you can see to the edge of the flat earth?

There's a lot Rich sees under the proper magnification. Or chemical enhancement.

Actually Carcassman,, the reason why for many of your points of view,, the chit I say comes is so far outside the norm,,, so far outside your perspective is because my brain does not perceive in the same way and i have a completely different perspective/world view... Some people call it Autism or being an Autist.. Its really just a difference in the wiring but it allows you to see things that most others do not,, obvious things that other people are routinely missing and mostly never see...

Its mostly an upside/advantage but comes with a bit of awkwardness regarding the inability to adapt in certain social situations... Mostly its undetectable but it facilitates seeing through the [Bleeeeep!] both individually and collectively,, more or less immune to the lies and brainwashing,, knowing true intention and true character regardless of deceptive behavior or actions people put up as a front... Also it allows to know or predict behavior patterns..

That is a very good point, Rich. Among other hobbies one of mine is birding/animal watching and photography. I know from experience that I see the world differently than others. Some I am faster than while with others I ma slower. IOt is the same with hunting; some folks see a deer's nose at 100 yards and I see lovely trees.

There are differences in how we actually see, hear, and smell things. Then, too, we process data differently. Means we need to communicate much better.
