I’ve tried this experiment in Blender by projecting a NASA earth texture onto a circular plane to see if I could even come up with something where the day/night solstice/equinox cycles make any kind of sense, couldn’t make it work.
I do think that if you really wanted to upset these folks, though, you’d insist that Australia is actually at the center of the earth.
I have never through of that…how is day an night supposed to work on a flat earth? Like Minecraft they just…rotate around? What about the underside of the earth? The other side of the coin…do people live there too? Can we visit them if we dig a hole?
The sun is apparently more like a flashlight than an orb. That would be the only way this could work, but even Terry Pratchett knew that this doesn’t make any sense
It would rotate around, like in the model.
Since it’s more like a flashlight there would be no scattering of the light.
There would only be day right under the sun.
That’s the only way this would make any sense at all, and even then That’s kinda meh

The flatearthers are gonna hunt you, better not ask those questions

…wait and how does it become night? Like the lantern gets turn off? What about when it’s night in a place but morning on another?

Burh I would honestly have even more questions,who holds the lantern? What about the sunset? And sunrise?
I have no idea, and “they” prevent us from finding out

What do the pillars of the earth stand on?
4 elephants and a turtle.
What does the turtle stand on?
