The perfect gotcha question for flat-earthers that breaks their own model. If Earth were actually an infinite plane, line-of-sight would theoretically allow you to see the Egyptian pyramids, Mordor's Eye Tower, and the Statue of Liberty all from your European apartment balcony. Just need to factor in atmospheric refraction, light diffraction, and that pesky curvature that definitely doesn't exist. Checkmate achieved without having to explain geodesy or reference frames. Sometimes the best scientific arguments are the ones that use the opponent's flawed premises against them.
