Ok I've a few questions about flat Earth
1)What is the VOLUME of Earth?
2) If the Earth was flat, why would the shadow of the Earth as seen on the moon at night be curved?
3) Explain why when you walk straight from any given point on Earth you end up in the same place and not topple off the plane of the "2-dimensional" Earth once you reach the edge and instead RETURN BACK TO THE SAME POINT
4) Explain mountains. If the Earth was really flat, there would not be mountains protruding out of the surface of the Earth
5) Explain why a 10 year old is smarter than a bunch of people like you who think the Earth is flat
6) Lastly, if the Earth was flat and you would detonate a bomb on Earth, explain why is there not a HOLLOW HOLE in the Earth.
7) Explain why ONLY EARTH is flat and not the sun
8) Explain why gravity exists
9) Explain why there are 24 TIME ZONES. If the Earth was flat, there would only be 2 TIME ZONES (and if any of you are thinking that day and night is considered a time zone, explain why the sky does not turn bright / dark suddenly and it takes 8 minutes to do so)
10) Lastly, explain why the ISS is able to see the Earth in different perspectives. At one point the ISS would not be able to see Earth AT ALL as a 2D object has no width and cannot be seen at certain angles
Properties of a 2D Object
Can be formed on a screen (Cannot be formed in space as space is not a screen)
Has no height and cannot be seen from the side
Is flat (Nothing can protrude out of the surface, like a 2D object)
Well if you can answer these questions and prove to me that the Earth is flat (using CORRECT logic), I will join you guys and become a flat-earther

Why would there not be mountains Tommy?!?!?!
Most if not all of your questions can be answered on wiki and FAQ.

Hey think about it
If there were mountains
The Earth is 3 dimensional
If there were no mountains (If mountains were flat) Then your theory about 2 dimensional flat Earth is true
Well You're contradicting yourself
Think about it. Is the Earth really flat? ??? ??? ???

A frisbee is "flat" but still a three dimensional object. All FE hypotheses still have the Earth having height, width and length. Saying they're calling it 2D is attacking a strawman, and not a very good one at that.

In addition, there is nowhere on earth that you can walk a straight line for 24000 miles to return to your original location. At some point you have to get in a boat and once you do that, a flat earther will say you have no idea how far you have traveled or in which direction.

*whispers* I think Tommy likes to watch Rick and Morty
-
If the world is a 3D object and you still call it a flat Earth, it isn't!
Unless you are saying that the Earth looks like a really flattened Cylinder, which is impossible as there would still be stuff at the side (The height) of the cylinder!
So flat Earthers actually believe that the Earth is 2D
But... If you think that the Earth is 3D, you are contradicting yourself and this the Earth is not truely flat
-

False.
-

False.
Just check out the wiki. AGAIN
If it is false, then the Earth is NOT TRUELY FLAT

I'd suggest you do a bit more research so you don't continue to look so ignorant. Also, brush up on some basic logic. I wish you the best.

I completely disagree with the whole flat Earth concept. But I've never seen anything to indicate they think it is a two dimensional plane. They say flat from the perspective of it not being round.
-
I would call a pancake flat too, bit it definitely has more than 2 dimensions. Flat =/= 2D and your statement FE believes it is, is a very poor strawman.

Tommy, dude, you must chill. I'm on your team and I'm telling you - chill.
You have a table in your house, yes?
Would you not describe the top of the table as flat?
Can objects sit on top of your table without becoming 2D and falling through?
What you're engaging in is pedantry where you argue the meaning of a word and ignore all the actually interesting things to discuss about a topic.
Those who believe the earth is flat don't literally think it's 2D - they think it's flat like a frisbee, or like the table in your house. Legitimate questions to ask are things like what's on the edge, what's on the other side, etc. But if you ask why things don't suddenly become 2D you're attacking a strawman.
