Seeing the power lines disappear as they cross the lake are not QUITE the same thing as seeing the Earth's curvature directly. You're not seeing the Earth's curvature, but rather the effects of the Earth's curvature. If those power lines weren't there, you wouldn't notice anything. It's kind of the same idea as standing on the shore of an ocean and seeing the sail of a ship on the horizon, then more and more of the ship as it approaches. You're not seeing the Earth's curvature directly, but rather the consequences of the Earth's curvature in the amount of the ship visible to you. The power lines across Pontchartrain are the exact same phenomenon.
that you Carl Sagan?

and wth does being over the Atlantic have to do with it?
Well land has changes in elevation and natural formations that could affect perception. It also has buildings and other obstructions that can reduce the distance you could see clearly.

Not curved.
It’s flat and we have never been in outer space either because there is a firmament

I can see the curvature of the earth by looking up at the night sky in a place with no light pollution.

Real shite.
I hope that the entire Flat Earth thing is one giant troll.
No fricking way in 2018 people actually believe that shite.
No fricking way. It's a giant troll planned by Ken M.
