I did stop, look, and think. And took photos, which you're welcome to ignore if you want. But if water is actually level as you say, my photos don't make much sense.
I'm curious: how do you, personally, know whether water is flat or curved?

Maybe you miss understood what i said.
Water when stationary in a cup, bowl, bath, pond, lake, ocean, always has a horizontal surface from your perception of up and down. How can any of these observations show that water curves?
Water in motion either falling from the sky as rain or trickling down hills and mountains as streams/rivers, water continuously changes it's collective shape to eventually find it's level (at the bottom of a valley) and forms a lake/pond.
You can never observe water being concave or convex, it cant support it's own weight and create mountains of water in the middle of oceans to account for earth's supposed curvature.
Water doesn't curve, fact.

When you look at water in a cup, it looks flat -- I completely agree. But imagine for a moment that we live on a globe earth: how could you be completely sure that what looks flat in the cup isn't actually very very slightly curved?
If you zoom in too close to a segment of a circle, eventually your eyes aren't sensitive enough to see that it's curved and it will just look like a straight line. How do you know that's not what's happening in the cup?
By the way, if you ever get frustrated by my answers and you want to stop talking, I won't be offended in the slightest bit if you just stop replying to me. I'm not here to make anyone angry, I'm just trying to promote good critical thinking.
