Wow. Ok, I'll bite.
1. The camera is not on the table but slightly below it. If it were on the table then the "sun" would just keep shrinking by our perspective.
2. The sun rises on the opposite side. Whether the earth is flat matters not when it comes to the setting sun. The question your "experiment" poses is twofold. Does the sun orbit the earth or does the sun set due to earth's rotation? Both of these imply spherical celestial bodies do they not?

1. How does something "just keep shrinking? Eventually it disappears. 2. Nothing is wrong with a spinning spherical body. However, they are not healthy places to as their rotation would fling u off.

1. "Disappear" because it'll be too small for our eyes but that isn't what the gif is showing or what you are saying. You are saying "set" not "disappear". 2. When you are on a train and jump, you land in the same spot on the train. Because you're both moving on earth. The same applies for the earth through space. You also didn't address my question about the sun rising on the opposite side. Rising in the east vs setting in the west.

Earth cant "fling us off" because its gravity is holding us down.
