- The Horizon Is Not Curved. The spirit level never lies, according to some. Prominent flat-Earther and rapper B.o.B regularly cites the horizon’s flatness as the main piece of evidence to plant doubt into the minds of the spherical-planet sheeple.
- Nobody Has Crossed The Wall Of Antarctica. Ever. Some factions of flat-Earthers claim that Antarctica is a giant icy wall designed to keep us from falling off our disc-shaped world.
- The Earth Is Stationary. Right now, the world is spinning at around 1,600 kilometers (1,000 miles) per hour. If that’s so, why aren’t we flying around? Well, think about flying in a passenger plane at 926 kilometers (575 miles) per hour.

- Conduct a stick test. If you stick a stick in the (sticky) ground, it will produce a shadow. The shadow moves as time passes (which is the principle for ancient Shadow Clocks).
