No he isn’t. He’s retarded. End of mental evaluation.

I take batshit crazy stances now and again. I'll argue them calmly, politely, and persuasively just to see how long I can bait someone along.

You're likely getting trolled and you don't even know it.

You rounders are all the same.

Where are the photos from satellites that haven’t been photoshopped by NASA the OP mentioned?

How do flat earthers explain circumnavigation? Teleportation from one edge to the other?

So what conclusions can you make that can 100% prove him wrong?

You must not have seen the FE map. Antarctica encircles the rest of the continents and oceans. Like the entire edge of the earth is Antarctica. And no one can go to the "south pole" because the government doesn't allow anyone to the "interior" of Antarctica.

Antarctica purportedly forms a ring around the edge. Circumnavigation is an illusion, and you’re just going in a circle.

Well the most basic evidence that proves FE wrong is that we can't see the sun at night. The second most basic evidence is that the apparent motion of stars in the night sky only works geometrically if the earth is a rotating sphere.

Problem with proving flat-earthers 100% wrong is that they have mental issues that prevent them from understanding things. There's got to be a condition that affects spatial visualization skills.

How do they explain the seasons?
Cyclonic action in the north hemisphere opposite of cyclonic action in the south hemisphere.
Night and day
Navigating the earth and the Sun alwsyd being in the same place.
The stars in the sky

Have you ever been to that area of France? On a clear day with the right conditions you can see Mt. Cinto, which is around 8900 ft high, especially because the coast of the Cote d'Azur itself has varying levels of elevation above sea level the further away from the cost.

Someone please correct my napkin math but if the temperature is above freezing and the pressure is 1 atm or 1000 mb, you should be able to see peaks above 5000 ft or so with atmospheric refraction.
