Here is a website for (Debunking Flat Earth Misconceptions): https://flatearth.ws/
To understand what is true in real-life, you have to understand likelihoods.
What is the point of debating well debunked ideas in 2024? There are better things to debate about. And not religion either (debunked the same).
There are so many real things to debate about in the world and/or universe, why Flat Earth?
Maybe the debates have been going in the wrong direction? It's like both sides don't seem to understand the other person's arguments properly.
Could both sides steel-man each other’s view to see how much they understand each other in 30 seconds? (Reverse Roll Debate)
Can any Flat Earther actually steel-man a Globe Earther's side with real-life observations/data? Or even their own for that matter?
Maybe the debaters could make hypotheses and test them. We need to get somewhere instead of always stalemating in these debates.
Can you give me a list of why you think the earth is flat rather than something like a sphere?
Yes, anyone can observe the Earth is flat relatively locally… But the curve is emergent.
Basically, any sphere is flat if you look close enough.
Would you change your mind if I showed you real-life evidence of globe Earth that you can do yourself almost anywhere?
In a time-laps of the stars of the North & South poles, how does the FE model work when they spin in different directions when looking at them?
Have you ever used a telescope?
Why do you think NASA doesn't make-up that humans have gone to Mars like they supposedly did with the moon?
Is Earth's moon flat? Is Mars flat?
Have you ever used a very long level (with horizontal slits on the sides) on a very high place to see if the Earth is round or flat? (Slits view Earth's horizon) (Stretch picture vertically to see curve in slits)
If somebody makes an actual flat and very long piece of [enter material here] from a level point; the farther it reaches, it will eventually appear to be getting higher than the ground.
Why is everything else in the solar system looks like a sphere? (The Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter & it's moons, etc.)
Do other planets have gases, and are spheres?
Do you understand that gravity is very weak on the human scale?
Do you lack basic understanding of nature & physics? If so, why do you think your version of reality is right?
Can you show me a Flat Earth computer model? Compare that with the Globe Earth model computer model. Which one matches real-life?
Could we be living inside a giant reverse sphere or a giant donut or on a Halo Ring instead of flat or globe?
Is your goal to understand how real-life works?
If you have a need to believe, then you probably don't care about real-life understanding.
Does the flat Earth have no end? Like just repeats?
Do you like believing that the Earth is flat because you want to see how many people would believe you?
What evidence do you have for what is holding the air to Earth?
Why do satellite dishes point up-ish and can be stationary?
Gravity holds the air to Earth. It's strong enough to have a pressurized atmosphere. It pulls in all directions, making a sphere.
What do you think is more likely: The Earth rotates around its axis, or the universe rotates around Earth?
Instead of telling me, show me.
Could there be no air zone above the atmosphere, where there would be not resistance? Could spacecraft be there?
How do you explain Auroras on Earth, Jupiter, & Saturn? They are on both north & south sides of those planets too.
Do you double down on your ignorance?
How does one find out if they have a learning disability for themselves?
Try understanding why people think the Earth is flat by rotating a globe under your observation.
Do you know the difference between acceleration and speed?
Do you know the difference between change in direction and angular momentum?
Do you think gravity has an effect on gas?
(In a vacuum) A feather falls at the same rate as a bowling ball. Would a helium balloon fall at the same rate too?
The turbulent forces don't pull, they push.
Gravity is keeping the gas from going into outer space’s vacuum. What would push the gas to the vacuum? Vacuums don’t suck.
We can see the sun horizontally, but we can't see Mount Everest? (On a flat Earth)
Could something be observably flat on a round object if the observer was small & close enough comparably? Could that effect be what is happening on Earth?
Density & bouncy wouldn’t mean much without gravity.
In fiber optics, light travels in a straight line, even if the medium is bent/curved.
If sewer systems were straight, wouldn’t they start to back flow after a while?
Do you know that gases have weight? Carbon is heavier than air.
What are meteor impacts sites to you? What are meteor showers and comets to you?
How can people predict meteor showers?
How deep is the flat Earth? Is there a depth?
On a flat Earth, why do people in the south of every point have the same central area the stars rotate around that is different from people in the north when looking south?
Does the North Pole have a stronger magnetic field when getting closer to it? When getting away from a magnetic field, does it get weaker?
If someone thinks everything is CGI or fantasy, then when/how will they ever accept any real-life anything?
What is electrostatics and what experiments show that is what you say they are?
Rockets curve because if it went straight up, it would come back down. If the goal is to orbit, then they need to curve to follow Earth.
Gravity is holding the gas to Earth, which is causing air pressure.
Do you know what inertia is?
Have you ever seen a Lunar Selenelion/Horizontal Eclipse in person? If not, how do you know that it isn’t fake what you were told?
Could the atmosphere cause the light to bend to see both sun and moon at the same time?
Check out Celestia (The best and easy to use free accurate 3D space program for many platforms)
and Google Earth
They can be compared to real-life observations. It shouldn't matter that they are CGI. They show us models that work for anybody to use to understand real things.
I challenge FEers to make a flat item that isn't curved after a long distance that can be confirmed to be flat and not conforming to the curve of Earth (aka level).

Here is a video I made with Celestia to show why Earth's horizon looks flat up close.
There aren't really debates about the shape of Earth, all we can do is try to educate Flat Earthers and people on the fence. It seems that Flat Earthers want to debate to spread their misunderstanding(s) of Earth and science, which can be considered as disinformation.
If the spherical model is accurate to real-life observations, then would that make it more likely that is true?

Spiral wishing wells are good places to experience/observe orbits in real-life.

Here is a video that answers FEer's questions about why Earth doesn't move underneath a helicopter. https://youtu.be/niqeCL80W5g?si=-43JWQLdt1CNtxy1
Is the dome flat? Are cloud types observed at the same height range everywhere? If so, how does the dome structurally stay up (doesn't sag) being so flat for long distances?
Are some Flat Earthers like Patrick in this scene from SpongeBob? https://youtu.be/oJAKxNlseio?si=3fiJpUOfEUFBTAQD
Then SpongeBob's reaction is like how can we rational people answer that question without offending them?
Then when we rational people try to help them understand, they are like Patrick being taught how to open a jar.
