If we're recommending videos, Behind The Curve is essential viewing. It's on Netflix, maybe other platforms too.
One thing I have never understood about all this – if the Flat-earthers think they are right, then Globism is the conspiracy. Who benefits from the conspiracy of Globism? It must be a costly exercise – silencing the millions of airline pilots and crew, for a start.
I always wondered this about the moon landing deniers. Assuming for the sake of argument that the moon landings were faked, it does rather beg the question as to why. NASA went to an awful lot of trouble and effort, it'd have been easier for them to actually go there than to fake it to any sort of convincing degree that still holds up to scrutiny today. And surely the most compelling argument here is that they went back - a good magician never repeats a trick for fear of being caught out.

Its not even a question of motivation or effort. At the time it was possible to go to the moon, regardless of how extraordinary the effort involved was, But was impossible to fake it. The audio visual technology didn't exist for the broadcasts everyone watched to be fake.
Yeah, that's what they want you to think...
Is the horizon also a result of this special type of “perspective”
Yes!
A good example of flat earther mentality can be found in their bold claim that "the horizon always appears to rise to eye level" (because of flerspective and the flat earth).
Now that's pretty easy to disprove with the help of a homemade water level and a hill:
But if you check out the comments on that video you will see that they do not accept that simple demonstration. Most brilliantly they insist that isn't the real horizon. Others just stubbornly refuse to admit what they are seeing.
As of right now the latest comment says "The horizon always flat to the observer, but it always rises to eye level with the observer who takes flight, no matter how high the observer ascends" despite the video clearly demonstrating that is not true.
"Fifteen degrees per hour drift",

Catz is the funniest and has a brilliant edit, but all are worth a look if you like to face-palm frequently.
