My friend pushed the flat earth theory on me for two years. I finally looked into it myself.

He kept sending me videos and articles, saying I was just believing what I was told. So I spent a weekend, maybe 8 hours total, checking the main points. I looked at ship hulls disappearing over the horizon and how flight paths work. The math for a globe just adds up, every time. I told him I couldn't see it his way, and now things are kinda awkward. Has anyone else had a friendship get weird after digging into a theory like this?

Yeah, the ship hull thing is what got me too... I used to wonder about it until I actually watched a boat with a good pair of binoculars. The bottom disappears first, which only makes sense on a curve. After that, the whole flat idea just fell apart for me.

My cousin finally shut up after I showed him the time zone map.
