@kdfrawg I'm not playing. I'm just trying to point out that without some pretty good instrumentation and a firm belief in and trust of authority, it isn't that easy a concept to grasp experientially.

Photos from space is good, I agree. But honestly, it isn't that easy. Just as it isn't that easy to show, from down here, with nothing but experience, that the earth goes round the Sun, rather than vice versa.
That's the whole point about science. It is hard, and it is counterintuitive.

@sumudu I do that quite a bit as I migrate posts from an old CMS to a new one, and it often arouses good nostalgia. In fact, I posted about that here just a few hours ago.
@larand
I think an inverse saucer offers the same horizon. Not truly flat, course, but not a sphere.

Win/lose afternoon.
For the win, I figured out how to change the look of a post in my other website depending on whether it is a link post or not.
For the lose, I failed to figure out how to display a single random post from the past. I can redirect to one, thanks to a plugin, but not display the content.1
Anyway, it was a fun learning afternoon.
I suppose I could display it in an iframe, or something, but that rather defeats the purpose. Or does it? Hmmmn
@larand I don't disagree but what, in your own personal experiences, convinces you that the earth is not flat?
