Clearly not flat. I've walked cliffs with significant height difference down to the water. These changes in elevation = not flat.

Turtles don't handle the fall straight down even with their shell.

So you can see the curve then?
So it is no longer 'too big that you cannot see the curvature'?
And the speed of earth is too fast that you cannot fly off?

You claim "flat". Would not be differences in elevation if it were flat. End of debate.

Accusation.
When people use sphere or say the earth is a globe, do they include differences in elevation?
70% water maintains its level. 30% earth have a common (boundary) level with the sea (sea level).
But rain can cause overflow.

If you want to carry your argument further, you can say that no object is flat under a microscope.
