If like a map then it’s clear where the confusion came from.

It is flat and sitting on the back of a giant tortoise.

But the backs of tortoises are round.

To dismantle a flat earther. Just mention the Coriolis Effect. Or the fact that we have seasons because the earth is tilted on its axis.

Yeah, those people have their pre-assembled answers to all questions. Part of the illness.

Since you mentioned that, I went on google to do a search on "How do flat earthers explain seasons?" I found this space.com article and after reading it, I'll have to go take some Tylenol since I got a headache.
