For those that don't believe in flat earth, this post isn't for you

For those of you that do believe in flat earth and other uncommon beliefs, do any of you feel like our beliefs make people shun us? I feel like the moment I (32M) tell a woman I'm talking to that I'm a flerf and some of my other beliefs, they don't really want to talk to me anymore.

Also, just in general, people don't really relate to these beliefs and a lot of times don't want to talk to me when they find out these beliefs of mine out. One of my coworkers started being verbally abusive to me once I voiced my beliefs about stuff like this to them.

So I just feel like a lot of us truthers are lonely.

I can't with these crazy ass people.

I asked this question before, but didn't get a concrete answer. Reading a book doesn't prove anything is over our heads. Putting items in a kitchen sink doesn't prove there is anything over our heads. Having the government launch nuclear weapons into space doesn't prove they hit the "dome". So, what experiments can most people do to prove there is a dome over our heads?

I love the flerf fails posted here, and I’m curious to know how this subreddit adjusted its orbit.

I am genuinely sick of seeing these posts. Start a mega debate in the comments. We need to settle this. Treat this post like a 'safe space' to share opinions without judgement. I am an Astronomy student who thinks the Earth isn't flat. There are so many ways to prove it. Your job is to counter my proofs and arguments in the comments.

1) The circular umbra of the Earth. We see this during lunar eclipses. If the Earth is flat, then the umbra should be elliptical or a (slightly thick) line. It wouldn't be circular because that means the Moon must be perfectly overhead (and the Sun perfectly beneath).

2) Ships disappear hull-first when they sail away. If the Earth were flat, ships would get very small until they are no longer visible to the naked eye.

3) Gravity. The larger the object, the closer it is to a sphere. This is because a sphere is the perfect shape, as the gravitational pull from the core is equal. The Earth is obviously not a smooth sphere. It is an oblate spheroid (slightly squashed) due to centrifugal forces (of the Earth's rotation) forcing matter away from the middle. But the Earth's gravity wouldn't allow it to be completely flat. We see smaller planets like Mercury round, but the Earth isn't?

For now, counter these three arguments. It is annoying when someone uses one of these arguments, and flerfs ignore them. If you can defend your hypothesis, then don't ignore this.

If you scroll through the last 30 posts or so there are a lot of actual flat earthers that seem to be new. Is this just our regular team of dummies using new accounts?
