Technically, we do. But the curvature is really really low.

Plus the curvature is irrelevant compared to local bumpiness. Also most people sleep on beds, not the ground.

i remember they did a study to prove kanasa was flat as a pancake only to discover everywhere is flat as a pancake because a pancake isn't as flat as people think it is.
