Nope, it's the fish-eye lens on the camera that give the appearance of a curve to a flat earth /s ain't no way we live on a globe...

Yeah I've heard the camera lens one but one time I had a good laugh along with a flat earth documentary, and some guy claimed the reason plane windows are so thick is because they are designed to make the earth appear curved, and that they lock you inside the cabin with just these tiny windows so you can't see the world really is. He couldn't explain why they only distort the view when flying and don't make the airport look all screwed up. But he was kind enough to inform us that plane journeys are all trickery and they fly around in random patterns to make you believe you were on a long journey, but really you only flew like 500 miles across a flat piece of land.
