have you people never seen an ocean? when you see ships go far enough out you see them disappear behind the curvature of the earth, you'll see masts of sailboats sticking up and the like.

Not just the ocean. There are lakes large enough of this effect to happen.

No, us prairie people don’t think about the ocean that often, but yes I’ve seen that. A wave just seems more mountain-like than the horizon.

"Are the mountains flat?"

When a ship gets far away and you only see the top half, it's behind a flat Earth water mountain.
