Well your opinion is a falsehood. Our reality is that we aren't on a flat earth and those claims you linked about map distortions are completely true. It's one of the problems with projecting a 3d image onto a 2d surface. You lose proportionality.

It seems like "Flat-Earth" theory has been gaining a tremendous amount of circulation within alternative forums lately. I can only imagine this is meant to discredit any number of valid theories that may be leaking into mainstream awareness.
It has been proved that Jesuit started the globe movement(straight out of the Vatican).

Thanks for the personal attack. Not really trying to win anything over here, thanks. Just discussing ideas on a platform where these topics are "accepted" for exploration.
Because of the height of the towers (693 ft or 211 m) and their distance apart (4,260 ft or 1,298 m), the curvature of the Earth's surface had to be taken into account when designing the bridge—the towers are 1 5⁄8 inches (41.275 mm) farther apart at their tops than at their bases; they are not parallel to each other.[3][14]

Cern - built with the curvature of earth in mind? 17 mile circumference....

To make matters more complex from a visualisation and planning perspective, the curvature of the earth has to be taken into consideration in any future design path.
... “It gets quite complicated because if we were to use sea level as our reference point this would imply horizontal. If it were the same distance above sea level around the ring then you would not be in the same plane because the machine would be following the earth’s curvature,” said Osborne. The best way to imagine it, he explained, is to think of the FCC as an enormous fixed disc that needs to be sunk in its entirety into the earth in order for it to be in the same plane.
With the effect of the earth’s curvature having considerably greater impact upon the necessary depth considerations for the larger FCC as compared to the 27km LHC, early calculations show that for an 80km ring, and to remain within slope parameters, the shafts might have to be at an average depth of 270m with a maximum overburden along the tunnels of up to 670m. This compares to an average shaft depth of 100m for the LCC, and a largest overburden of 170m.

Surveyors, engineers and architects are never required to factor the supposed curvature of the Earth into their projects, providing another proof the world is a plane, not a planet. Canals and railways, for example, are always cut and laid horizontally, often over hundreds of miles, without any allowance for curvature.
Surveyors, engineers and architects are never required to factor the supposed curvature of the Earth into their projects, providing another proof the world is a plane, not a planet.
Geodetic surveys involve such extensive areas that allowance must be made for the Earth’s curvature.
When the survey encompasses an area large enough for the Earth’s curvature to be a factor, an imaginary mathematical representation of the Earth must be employed as a reference surface.

This says you're wrong, again.

Another reference to accounting for curvature

Need more or are you sharp enough to get it?

The Suez Canal which connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Gulf of Suez on the Red Sea is a clear proof of the Earth’s and water’s non-convexity. The canal is 100 miles long and without any locks so the water within is an uninterrupted continuation of the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea. When it was constructed, the Earth’s supposed curvature was not taken into account, it was dug along a horizontal datum line 26 feet below sea-level, passing through several lakes from one sea to the other, with the datum line and the water’s surface running perfectly parallel over the 100 miles. The average level of the Mediterranean is 6 inches above the Red Sea, while the floodtides in the Red Sea rise 4 feet above the highest and drop 3 feet below the lowest in the Mediterranean, making the half-tide level of the Red Sea, the surface of the Mediterranean Sea, and the 100 miles of water in the canal, all a clear continuation of the same horizontal line! Were they instead the supposed curved line of globe-Earthers, the water in the center of the canal would be 1666 feet (502 x 8 inches = 1666 feet 8 inches) above the respective Seas on either side!
No Satellites, aircraft yes. GPS is a hoax. US and British Military supposedly stopped using Loran - C in 2010. Why would the worlds elite military use archaic tech until just 2010? Radio Frequency. Show me a picture of a satellite in space.
