Get a telescope and look across the ocean. If the earth is flat, you'll see whatever continent is in that direction.

Pick two locations that are some distance apart (at least a couple hundred miles from each other and on the same meridian). Grab two sticks or dowels (or other objects) of equal length, two tape measures, and a friend. Each of you will take one stick/dowel/object and one tape measure to your location, stick the object into the ground, and measure the shadow. (For accuracy, you should both take your measurements at the same time of day.)

On a flat Earth, the shadow that is cast by each would be of the same length. However, if you and your friend compare notes, you'll find that one shadow was longer than the other. That's because, due to the curvature of Earth, the sun will hit one part of Earth at one angle and another part of Earth at a different angle even at the same time of day.

well you see Octopath being trash is because the game is flat
the earth isn't trash
therefore the earth isn't flat

You're not taking into account that on a flat earth, the sun is just a 30-mile-wide disc at 3000 miles above the surface. Things directly bellow it have very short or no shadow, while things 3000 miles away from below would receive sunlight ar 45. Same as what would be seen on a round earth 24,000 miles around, at noon above and a different longitude 45 away (~3000 miles away) where it's 3 hours earlier or later (~9 am or 3 pm), from parallel rays from a huge sun very far away.

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

Or you can talk to someone on another continent and it'll be a different time there.
