I feel like the crucial mistake here is that you're assuming that everyone has your level of intelligence or lower. As if the entire world wouldn't recognise that all footage of the earth's horizon is done through a fisheye lens if that really was the case.

no just those of us who know the earth is flat with a dome

The Earth is not "flat" either, Kiddo.
Investigate smarter, not harder.
The Earth is an oblate spheroid. But the shape is difficult to reproduce as the water, poles, field and lands shift. Hence the sphere being a more simple representation.
The world maps too tend to be wrong as there is no accurate way to make a flat map of a 3D object. In most maps you have Greenland being the "same size" as the USA, when in fact it isn't.

Ugh. Yes, everyone knows how a fisheye works. You're not going to see the curvature of the earth while you're standing on it, dummy. Nobody claims otherwise.
What the hell do you mean 'flat when he hits down'? Are you implying you expected him to land on earth and it would be like standing on a football? It's perspective. From a distance you see further around the edges of a sphere. From close up your field of vision is limited to a much shorter distance. You can literally do this by just holding a ball in front of your face and moving it towards/away from your eye. An adult shouldn't need to have this explained to them.
What, at like 0:01 in the video? Because you can only see a tiny amount of the horizon through the opening. But even if you could see /through/ the pod, you'd still see a circular horizon surrounding him. If the Earth was flat you wouldn't even see a horizon, you'd just see seemingly infinitely into the distance.
I can't trust you as a source, so I actually don't know if your claim that Chicago is visible from the distance you claim it is or if it should be. But I find it telling you have this one example to present, rather than just... claiming that ALL land is visible from further than it should be - if there was merit to this objection you wouldn't have used such a specific and obscure example. I am vaguely aware of some principle involving being able to see further over cool air. I'd look into it to be better able to offer a response, but I feel it'd be wasted effort just for you to ignore it.
Even adjusting for fisheye, the earth is still clearly curving. Any one who views something large from far away can see the earth curves because you don’t see it in full
Because from my perspective science knows these things, so it’s just like, how could you say for sure that the earth is flat, but nobody knows by now how thick it is. Like how are satellites locked on the top side of the flat and haven’t seen the flat edges, like the earth would be a flat cube so we would see the side thickness. Also it would mean gravity works in a totally different way. So how does gravity work on a flat earth?
I guess you weren’t on a commercial airliner because I traveled all over the place and it’s definitely not flat when looking at the horizon I can see the curve
