This is quite possible, because again, the slight curve that actually exists in even a "flat" body of water is imperceptible to the eye. The reflections are ever-so-slightly angled, and your eye would never know the difference.

I'm calling out J70x7.....you keep posting NOTHING but pictures, which can easily be proven wrong, yet you say nothing to defend yourself or why you believe the Earth is flat. You might be a troll......
You know, the Bible talks about great deception, and though I know it refers mostly in part to the Anti-Christs coming and deceiving the world, this TOO can be considered a great deception. Flat Earth is a deception. I think you need to check yourself before you wreck yourself...

I have a challenge for you, J70x7...
No more pictures...
Instead, travel to Southern Australia or New Zealand any time from November to February. Find a truly vertical pole around which you can mark where the shadows fall. You will see that they go from Northwest of the pole in the morning (North of due West) around the South to the Northeast in the evening (North of due East).
Then explain how that is possible on a flat earth with the "North Pole" at its centre. Remember, the Tropic of Capricorn is the Southernmost extent above which the sun appears at nadir (90 degrees to the horizon) so the sun should never be able to cast a shadow even the slightest bit North of a vertical pole located South of the Tropic.
Do the same at any location North of the Tropic of Cancer. The latter is explainable in the flat earth model. The former is not.

You can't reason with a flat-liner. They all come from the same mold, posting a lot of idiotic pictures and videos and don't prove anything.

I gave the flat earthers a listen. They seem to be so convinced in their minds. Pictures do look convincing. What I can’t wrap my head around is; if it is a flat earth then we should all see the same stars but clearly some are only visible from the Southern Hemisphere and some only from the Northern. If they think the sun is so close, couldn’t the height be determined with trigonometry? If you have two poles twenty feet high, at the same distance above sea level, 400 kms apart, when the shadows are identical in opposite directions, you should have enough info to determine if the sun is hundreds or millions miles away.

are you frick ... um, forgive my temptation to cuss, but seriously, why do you think the ship looks like it's sinking gradually, instead of "falling off a cliff", and the way you indicate curvature is a wrong way to look at it

do you trust your eyes so much that you believe the earth is flat because it looks flat?
let's see how you trust your eyes for this one?
may we learn to "walk by faith, not by sight"

if you can explain to me how the eyes can fool us, and explain where the missing square may be, then you are on your way to understand why we believe the earth is round regardless of all your vain pictures of how "flat" the earth looks along the horizon
