The planet is NOT flat or at the center of the universe. I do not mean to be rude but everytime i hear somebody mention flat earth, it shocks me immediately that they actually believe that.
From where i am, i could go left and end up in China.. i could go right and also end up in china.. That basically means that the planet must be round.
Jumping is a small thing because we are tiny compared to the planet, therefore we do not notice the roundness. In all technicality it is bumpy and not perfectly round.
The Earth SLOWLY spins, so if you jump you will NOT see this. As centrifugal force is pulling you with the spin as well as the slowness.
The earth is so large that we CANNOT see the shape of it, but have scientifically found and also (found by travellin to the same location from opposite directions) that it is indeed round.

Also, jumping doesn't affect you because of the Law of Motion.

Honestly "Flat Earth" baffles me just as much as "Cheese Moon".
-
Exactly

Honestly, it almost irritates me to see people believe in false things and then show some "proof" that honestly is really well put together (if i wasn't smart enough, i'd believe it.)

Yeah. See this thread. [spoiler] https://www.bungie.net/es/Forum/Post/210841818/0/0 [/spoiler]

The earth is supposed to spin at 1000mph, I think we would notice that. Also, it supposedly moves through space at 67,000mph. You would think objects on the side of the planet facing away from that motion should get sucked off. When you start from any direction to travel to China, you use navigational insturments. These lead you [i]along[/i] the disk of the earth, not around a ball.

Those things don't happen because of gravity. But you don't believe in gravity. Why? Because it disproves every argument you've put forth. Still working on that weather balloon?

Still not sure what lens I should use on a weather balloon...
-
Buy a camera.
-
Sure. But what lens? Many lenses make the earth appear drastically curved.
-
The only ones that will do that is a fish eye lens and your imagination. You can either stay in your uninformed echo chamber or you can see for yourself.

Also, by that logic the "Great Acceleration" would crush us against the surface of Earth in the Flat Earth Model...
-
It's the Law of Motions...

Centrifugal force. We spin with it.
