You can't find flat earth stuff searching on YouTube. There are tons of channels, just rich in content years worth of videos and all of it delisted. If you search you just get professor Dave and the debunkers. I mean I'm pretty sure there are other more "retarded" things you can do and say on youtube. And this OP is about tiktok getting rid of it. Why are they spending so much effort censoring flat earth if it's just silliness?

Trig Example
Here’s a good real world example. First reply to the question shows a ship in the distance becoming more visible as someone goes to the upper deck of a cruise ship. If the earth was flat, the entire ship would’ve been visible from the lower deck. Regardless, he proceeds to use trig to calculate the height above sea level you would need to be to see the entire ship. You could flip things around (knowing the dimensions of the ship and distance from the observer) to calculate the Earth’s radius.

Do you think I account for the effect for shits and giggles? Because the math of motion of the atmosphere would be a hell of a lot simpler if it was a not-rotating plane.
Imagine a counterclockwise general swirl centered over a flat plane spinning infinitely breaking apart and reforming but generally moving that direction. At the top half of the plane it would move north and westerly and form small systems spinning counterclockwise. At the bottom half it would move south and easterly and form small systems moving clockwise.

So he is at the exact perfect distance? If he took steps backward it would go down again?
Except it didn't come up. It just fixed the fricked up bottom.
Once ships move beyond the horizon, they began to experience refraction from the bottom up. So it becomes distorted but as you can see it doesn't change height. The masts are at the same height off the water. The bottom is just distorted. This is what you'll see when you take a telescope or binoculars or high powered camera to the beach. The ship stays the same height the entire time, it just slowly becomes distorted from the bottom up (while the height never changes!) until it disappears from view.

I doubt it if you are posting stock photos and NOT from where I’m talking about.

People who believe the world is secretly ruled by shape shifting lizard people feel the same way as you and are every bit as confident.

You preciously said the Coriolis effect does not exist.
If this is the case how do you explain the phenomenon that exists in ballistics when all the other variables are accounted for? The effect of this variable on the bullets impact point vs aim point can be EXACTLY predicted by using the model of a sphere the exact size of the Earth, spinning at the exact speed of the Earth and it matches exactly with the predictions based on latitude, the compass direction the bullet is fired and whether you are in the Nothern or Southern Hemisphere.

There is not a real Coriolis effect in snipers. Snipers don't use it. If you're using it in shooting you're a moron.
Why is there a Coriolis effect but no spinlag? The equator is spinning much faster than the Arctic but if you fly from one to the other you don't get dizzy.

Yes, the earth is flat. I once took a cruise to get the Golden Fleece located in a tree at the edge of the earth.
