I want to say an argument I have against flat earth that I personally made up, I think it is better than any argument I've ever heard, so pls hear me out.
The moon is a ball shape. One half is bright, the other half is dark, the bright half is bright because that part faces the sun. We all believe this, flat earthers included. This is what makes the various shapes in the phases of the moon. For example, a halfmoon, is because the sun is say, way over on the left, lighting up half of what you can see from your angle.
so how are you supposed to have a full moon? Imagine it, you're outside at midnight, its full moon and you look up. The lit up half of the moon is pointing towards the sun, but where is the sun? It's not in front of you, because it's night and you do not see the sun. So then it must be behind you. Looking down, behind you is beneath the earth. in a flat earth model, the sun cannot go beneath the earth, or else it would be night for everyone. Only an orbit can explain the sun being below the earth, and it still being day for someone.
What I especially like about this argument, is that it requires no science, but just personal experience of going out on a full moon, and trying to feel for the position of where the sun must be. You actually feel like you must be on a really large ball, with the sun below.
