Let's just say the earth is flat.  What stops someone from just going over the edge?  Even an Airplane.  How do you explain those that have flown a plane from point A heading east and ended up back to point A?

Ice rim known as Antarctica. Antarctica is not a continent. It's an ice rim around what you would call the edge. 100 of miles of ice long. That's why there's no falling off.

So planes just hit it? How does a plane travel from point A heading east, never changing direction and end  up back at point A?

Serious question: what happens if one were to fly to the end of those hundreds of miles? Then could someone fall off? And into what would they fall?

"I drive from coast to coast, and this s*** is flat to me. I’m just saying. I drive from Florida to California all the time, and it’s flat to me. I do not go up and down at a 360-degree angle.”

Education
O'Neal left LSU for the NBA after three years. However, he promised his mother he would eventually return to his studies and complete his bachelor's degree. He fulfilled that promise in 2000, earning his bachelor of arts in general studies.[161] Coach Phil Jackson let O'Neal miss a home game so he could attend graduation. At the ceremony, he told the crowd "now I can go and get a real job". Subsequently, O'Neal earned an MBA online through the University of Phoenix in 2005. In reference to his completion of his MBA degree, he stated: "It's just something to have on my resume for when I go back into reality. Someday I might have to put down a basketball and have a regular 9-to-5 like everybody else."[162]

Toward the end of his playing career, he began work on an Ed.D. in Human Resource Development at Barry University.[163][164] His doctoral capstone[165][166] topic was "The Duality of Humor and Aggression in Leadership Styles".[163][167] O'Neal received his degree in 2012.[168] O'Neal told a reporter for ABC News that he plans to further his education still by attending law school.[169]

O'Neal has also studied directing and cinematography with the New York Film Academy's Filmmaking Conservatory.[170]

a 360 degree angle while driving is no joke.

So strange that this is becoming a popular belief system. There are so many aspects of daily living that only make sense if the earth is round. There couldn't be a conspiracy because an elementary school student can prove the earth is round at their house with less than $50 worth of equipment.

It's funny that he uses driving cross country as an example because seeing an endless horizon while my parents were driving is one of the first things that got me to understand that the earth had to be round.

Not 100%, but pretty sure the idea is that a circle is flown just the same and that it's the readings which are questionable.

As for why a "conspiracy" might exist to cover "the truth" about a flat plane, it could be to cause people to deny Bible teachings.  IDK, but anti-conspiracy types actually love that this one exists, so they can try to use it to dismiss all things related to "conspiracy".

Lol, it didn't help that THE picture to "show" us from space, was at least partly faked.  (IDK about the one you posted, Tu, but there's a very famous picture which pretty sure that's true about).

It's possibly enhanced in some way... I always believe there's some chopping going on.

That said, there are so many photos showing the earth being round from different angles, that to believe it's flat is asinine.

Just get in a plane that goes overseas, and you can see the curvature from 35000 ft.

Here's something strange.  The moon and the sun have a difference in size which mates with their distances from the earth (400x, I think).  That's why the moon appears to be perfectly sized to block the sun exactly to its edges.
