1) If you pour water into a curved glass or bowl, it comes to rest conforming to the shape of the glass or bowl.
- water seeks its flatness, as in the surface of the water. Not referring to the container's shape.
Where is the flat-earth evidence for “water seeks its flatnessâ€? Oh that’s right — a “youtube scientistâ€, did an amateur experiment with a laser and a boat.
Taking accurate measures, enough to show 8in of difference over 1 mile, of the surface of water is a challenge. Amateur laser experiments on boats are not accurate enough, as they fail to estimate the curvature of the laser light due to atmospheric refraction. As anyone who has ever observed heat haze on hot asphalt, or the air behind an airplane engine, has seen evidence that temperature differences can distort light. Temperature changes, like warm air over cooler water, on a clear summer day, can bend light — even laser light.

2) If you take water in the form of snow, you can pack it with your own hands into the spherical shape of a ball.
- are you seriously that stupid? Yes you are.
I’m stupid enough to “debate†a flat-earther. I found it funny that, while you seek flatness, I have shaped water into the same shape as the earth many times as a kid.

3) If you look over any lake or ocean, or other large body of water, and take precise measurements, this is the evidence you need to see that it conforms to the shape of a globe earth.
- Water does not take a convex shape. Show me an experiment or evidence that indicates that. You have nothing.
Google “water in the space station†for some photo and video evidence of water very much not seeking flatness but taking a very convex shape.
