There is a lot of mockery in this thread.
But I have to flip the question back to you.
The consensus is that the earth is round and rotates at 15° per hour.
This has been even been proven by experiments conducted by various flate earth societies (see Behind The Curve documentary on netflix).
In addition, all the ISS Space Walks and rocket launch live streams that show curvature beyond the typical "lens distortion" arguments.
And the video footage dating back 50 years of the earth, looking very globe-like (no government is efficient enough to hide such a broad conspiracy for such a long time, without ANY leaks).
So, why do YOU think the earth is flat?
What makes you think OP believes the earth is flat?
The earth is flat because it follows real science.
Globe earth follows pseudoscience.
