Here's some math on how to work out the required observation height to observe a given distance on a spherical surface or the distance to the horizon from a given observation height.
First, let's define a right triangle. r^2 + d^2 = (h + r)^2 where r is the radius of the Earth and d is the distance in a straight line from ground level extending tangentially to the surface of the earth (or what a flat-tard may call level from that perspective). h is the height above the ground that connects to the d line, the height that we're observing from in this case. Visually, this is what it looks like:
https://files.catbox.moe/lrri6o.png![]()
Let's say we have our observation height (h) and of course the radius of the earth (r), and we want to find d, the distance to the horizon. When we re-arrange the equation, we come up with this:
d = sqrt((radius of the earth in meters + 10000 meters)^2 - (radius of the earth in meters)^2) where the radius of the earth is (averaged out to) 6.371009×10^6 meters. That places the horizon at 357,100 meters at an observation height of 10,000 meters.
357,100 meters or 221.89 miles
Earth isn't a perfect sphere. So, accuracy will vary.
A lot of flat earth niggers like to claim that globe earth people think that the horizon drops by 8 inches per mile squared, math that I would expect from niggers if they could do anything resembling math. The observation deck would be have to be 881,260.88 inches or 22,384 meters high in order to be just at the horizon. It's 10,000 meters in reality.
For a visual representation, the nigger math would create a retarded parabola. Spheres don't look like this retarded parabola when viewed from the side.
Here's the retarded parabola for reference:

This isn't an invite to debate flat earthers, as that's part of the psyop's goal, to waste your time and energy and to cause a brain drain from targeted forums by chasing away the people that can't stand such stupidity. They're retarded bioweapons designed to be irritating and to disrupt information networks. I can't stop any of them from making a fool of themselves in the comments though.

Addition (inception); Subtraction (death); Multiplication (intercourse for off-spring); Division (being partial within whole).
The above is based on perceivable UNIT (Latin unus; one)...others suggest MATH, noun - "a mowing; as in aftermath" ( https://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/math ) to distract ONE from self by using zero as the foundation, while tempting ones to count each other as NUM'BER, noun - "designation of a unit".

Like, should we just follow the same rules for MATH but de-satanize it by removing use of zero?
Might be interesting. ChatGPT says the Mayans had a system based on power of 20 & symbols that did not use zeroes.

a) being division, while sustaining self as addition within subtraction through multiplication.
b) oneself represents best (evaluation) nature (value) has to offer...choosing to ignore offer (perceivable) for proposals (suggestion) shapes it into the worst nature has to offer.
c) unit implies partial (ones) within whole (oneness). The more one discerns self, the more one comprehends about whole and partials. Agreeing vs disagreeing with others tempts one to ignore self discernment.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_men_and_an_elephant represents partials suggesting other partials about perceivable whole. The trick...suggesting one the picture or story of that parable tempts one to consent to the suggestion, hence viewing all six blind men (partials) and the elephant (whole) together without ever discerning self as partial (perception) within whole (perceivable).
Others utilize suggested collectivism (pictures; stories etc.) to distract one (partial) from discerning self, and ones consent keeps suggested collectivism together. Wanting something tempts one to hold onto it within ones mind/memory. This allows others to collect everything one consent to uphold within ones mind/memory aka bank (hold onto) by trust (consent). Suggestion represents the bank-teller, hence telling tales for one to bank.
d) organization implies -TION (action) and the organs (reactions) within aka instruments (minds instructed) within sound (entire).
e) one doesn't need to count units (ones); nor organize units (partials within whole)...one needs to resist the want to count (collectivism) and organize (progressivism); otherwise others will count (name; number; statistic etc.) and organize (chain of command; uniformity; society etc.) one to the detriment of self.
...then one ignored offer (perceivable reality) for proposal (suggested fiction). What could a partial propose that a whole doesn't already offer each partial within?
a) FIG'URE, noun (Latin figura,figo) - "form of any thing as expressed by the outline"...impressing outline (inception towards death) generates expressing inline (life) aka flow to form. Being implies "figure within"...others suggest one to figure out.
b) NUMBER (designation of a unit) implies UNIT (Latin unitas; unus; one)...one (unit) trying to figure out one (number) contradicts self. Ask those around you if they ever raised chickens to get an estimate about how self-contradiction is working out...
Change (inception towards death aka loss) represents need for (forwards) ex-pression (life aka growth)...wanting to ignore that represents self-repression.
Apart reactions (growth) trading within whole action (loss) for sustenance. If reactions (growth) trade with other reactions (growth); then a) one ignores wholesale (perceivable) for retail (suggested); which b) allows a few to accumulate collected growth of a many, who're giving it away for free (will of choice).
The foundation of trade represents resisting each other by choice until a balance is found about how much resistance each one is willing to spend. If one goes into a trade based on wanting suggested; then one consents to gamble resistance within temptation. If one goes into a trade based one needing perceivable (thirst; hunger; shelter); then one can resist others tempting one with wanting suggested (cola; chicken-wings; airbnb).
a) same (inception towards death) inspires differences (life) with the need to resist the temptation of wanting to follow.
b) suggested progressivism (should) tempts one to ignore being (life) progressed (inception towards death), which implies a "must" (resistance), which "should" tempts one to ignore.
c) suggested pluralism (we) tempts perceiving apartheid (one) within perceivable wholeness (oneness) to ignore self for others, hence then falling for collectivism (counting).
a) instead of removing suggested zero (nothing); try RE (responding to) MOVE (being moved by) oneness (everything).
b) having choice implies re-using balance (momentum), while being used by motion as growth (life) within loss (inception towards death).
If one (life) ignores for-wards (inception towards death), then there will be an aftermath for ones ignorance...you can count on that.
20 aka suggested dualism (2) and nihilism (0).
a) ones consent pre-trains one to suggestions by others; while ignoring to be trans-form (life) within generation (inception towards death).
b) CHAT, verb - "to talk without form or ceremony" + CEREMONY (outward rite)...a distraction from being (life) within outward rite of passage (inception towards death).

In other words, the calculation has already been made, and the result will never change, so re-calculating it would be pointless and a waste of CPU resources in most cases (in some cases wasting resources is desired, such as a for/next loop for time delay). The desired effect of the program is to repeatedly say "4", which it does without having to recalculate the value. The program could be condensed into one line like this: 10 PRINT SQR(16):GOTO 10 and that have the same output but be more inefficient (in terms of processor expenditure). But for even more 4's in your face, just add a ";" after the print which will omit the CR/LF suffix the interpreter usually adds for you... which makes each print append to the previous one, resulting in an entire screen full of 4's as opposed to just a single 4 on each line. And if you really want to get fancy use a "," instead to quantify the outputs into vertical rows.
repeating PRINT SQR(16) produces this:
4
4
PRINT SQR(16); does this:
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
and PRINT SQR(16), does this:
4_________4_________4________4_______4
4_________4_________4________4_______4
(I used _ for space because the stupid internet doesn't like me superfluously putting spaces together)

I guess this is just another one of those miracles where reflected light happens to be cold instead of warm.

8 inches per mile squared does not equal a parabola, a parabola is a symmetrical u curved shape. You get a completed sphere using 8 inches per mile squared * the alleged radius of the globe. This isn't flat earth math, this is the math claimed by those that believe earth is a globe, you fucking retards.
The fact you claim it's a parabola tells me you copy and pasted this argument from someone like ProfessorDave or SciManDan

If I'm graphing 8 inches per mile squared * the alleged radius of earth which is 3900 miles, we get a sphere with a circumference of 25,000 miles. We don't get a symmetrical u-shaped parabola and this is confirmed by all globetard earth curve calculators.
