      have you people never seen an ocean? when you see ships go far enough out you see them disappear behind the curvature of the earth, you’ll see masts of sailboats sticking up and the like.

        Not just the ocean. There are lakes large enough of this effect to happen.

          If you ever get the opportunity to, highly recommend going to see it. It’s probably my favorite thing on earth.

        No, us prairie people don’t think about the ocean that often, but yes I’ve seen that. A wave just seems more mountain-like than the horizon.

                It sure is there bud. Think the rain’ll help it grow?

          None of what they say makes sense when you string any two parts of it together, so trying to figure out which thing is more mountain-like is giving them credit they’re not really due.

      When a ship gets far away and you only see the top half, it’s behind a flat Earth water mountain.
