A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

With just your eyes you see it is round as ship masts dissappear last as they sail away. Also with just your eyes it must be round as the curved shadow on the moon surface during a lunar eclipse can only be produced by the shadow of a sphere.

Nice AI slop. Here is the original
The only way this answer could have been more hung up on the letter instead of the spirit of that comment, would be if you had said "with just your eyes you can watch a video explaining that the world is round".
With just your eyes... And a big lake or sea... And a ship... And the knowledge that water lies level.
Similarly it's not exactly understood from birth that lunar eclipses are the earth's shadow.
You gotta work all these things out and make more complicated observations than just looking at the horizon.
You're right, I should have come up with a way to tell the earth is flat with just your eyes but of course nothing around to cheat with like things to see with your eyes.
I think you probably get the point.
You sayin' a pizza wouldn't make a curved shadow if lit from the right perspective?
Checkmate, globe fundie.
The moon rotating at the same rate as its orbit and always facing earth could be used to reinforce the convex shape idea.
Most flat earthers don't believe space exists, so talking about orbits is already a step beyond them.
