Go straight west, you are never turning, you return to your starting position. Show on a flat model how this happens.
North is magnetic center. East or West...same path (circular). We have the luxury of the Panama Canal now.

HP Lovecraft discovered the Ice Wall at the Edge of the World before Byrd. Cthulhu lives on the other side.
SO FUNNY!
If you had read a little further you could have saved yourself some embarrassment.
Now you look even more ignorant.
And you think you're going to teach me something?
You're the smart one, figure it out.
Your prostate?
Yep...prostate.
It was actually promulgated by a goon from the NYT named Thomas Friedman in his first book, later writing a series of books. All are based on a leftist’s view of world policy, economics, communication, etc. Ubama and crew just gleamed onto it because the initial premise of the book’s name could be used to demean conservatives in yet another way. Those with whom Democrats disagree.
This is an excellent article explaining why calling flat earthers “stupid” is a really bad idea.

Short version: If science wants to earn people’s respect it needs to fully respect and understand views that it rejects.

Of course the problem with that is it has the south pole as a HUGE long path.
Meanwhile the Great Circles exist.

This can only happen on a globe. You idiot.
Don’t defend stupid.
We discuss climate change nonsense and reparations here—and show why it makes no sense.
That sharpens our debating skills—and sometimes we learn excellent new points from each other.
Hurling insults helps no-one.
You understand that with even LORAN equipment those turns would be detectable.
And even on a flat model it makes zero logical sense.
You just want to ridicule too.
It’s a normal, level picture aimed at the horizon. You’re trying to explain away the obvious by inventing one more story that you hope helps. Although why pointing a camera up would create the illusion of a curved surface is just one more mystery of the world of Flat Earth Physics.
You aren’t serious.
You failed the task.

You are never turning.
Show on a flat model how that could be.
You showed turns, lots of turns.
Turns that even LORAN would show happening.
