Agreed.
This is partially why I’m not that bothered by flat earth. I mean, with everything else why not that too?
Because you can literally observe it
That hasn’t been my experience.
That's called ignorance, my friend. Fortunately, ignorance is completely and 100% curable for anyone so afflicted if they should choose. On the other hand stupidity is not curable.
If you have the means and the will, you can personally measure the distances between different points on Earth (by travelling there yourself, not just looking at a map/globe someone else made). Then use geometry to deduce whether Earth is a sphere or not.

I am neither a flat- nor globe-Earther btw, I consider myself to be agnostic on this issue
I've observed it https://youtu.be/4gS6yZwUWjs?t=36
Conclusion: it's flat as fuck
That's like saying "When I put a pencil into a glass of water it looks bent, therefore therefor it's bent." You have to actually check your observation with measurement.
Theres visible curvature in that video... its not significant. But its not flat.
