If the Earth is flat, why are there no photos of the edge?

It seems that in this day and age, any enterprising group can mount an expedition to anywhere on Earth, on either side of the disk.
So why has no one taken any photos of the edge, or the other side for that matter?

It's not that far from Australia or Argentina.

1. Because there be monsters

If you go beyond the edge.

2. I'll call Louie Gohmert and ask.

8. We could easily take such photos from orbit...

...but of course orbits would be impossible if the earth were flat.

My career would not exist if the earth were flat (I work in the satellite biz).

12. So...you're part of the Conspiracy, then!

15. SSSsssshhhhhh...the pay is great, don't blow it.

Soros pays extra for social media postings supporting the Round Earth Theory.

3. I saw a tweet the other day that said the best argument (besides science) against Earth being flat

was the fact that the edges aren't commercialized all to hell. Best believe capitalism would find a way.

4. That is because the earth is like a Pac Man board

When you reach the edge you just reappear on the other side. This is why people think they fly or sail around the world and end up where they began.

(I wish I was joking but I this was from a flat-earther who was absolutely serious)

21. A space-warping force field creates the illusion...

...that the longitude lines converge. The edge, despite being thousands of miles long, appears to be compressed to a point at the so-called "South Pole.&quot

[Lochloosa]

25. He might be right....this helps explain it

Just in case

[thucythucy]

30. And all that white space is called "absolute elsewhere."

I've always loved that phrase. Ah, the poetry of physics.

[Lochloosa]

31. Physics is the bomb....

[brooklynite]

5. Why do people ask stupid questions like this?

The answer is obviously that THEY won't let ordinary people down on Antarctica to photograph the ice wall.

[edhopper]

17. Ice Wall?

NOOO!!

[Aristus]

6. The lack of photographs of the edge of the Earth is proof-positive that the conspiracy

runs deeper than any of us can begin to imagine!...

7. Here you go.

9. OK, that took me a full minute to get.

[luvs2sing]

10. You won the internet today.

[RKP5637]

11. I suspect it has something to do with FDR!!!

[Iggo]

13. Because the government.

Duh.

[RegularJam]

14. Suggestion...

If you are fighting this war you have lost your way. Move along.

[Buns_of_Fire]

16. Every expedition that has been sent fell off the edge.

The few photographs that've been published were actually taken on a movie set in Phoenix.

And if you consider how much it must cost to keep that much ice from melting in Phoenix, you have an idea of how serious they are that we not find out.

[3Hotdogs]

18. Da fuck ya talkin? Right there you can see it. Flat-round.

[MiHale]

19. Simple answer...

They don’t do photos….they do postcards.

[IL Dem]

20. If the Earth was flat...

Cats would have everything pushed off by now!

[AllaN01Bear]

22. what is underneath?

[kedrys]

23. It's elephants all the way down. n/t

[edhopper]

27. I thought

it was turtles?

[csziggy]

29. Well, the elephants stand on the first turtle

After that, it's turtles all the way down. Or maybe tortoises.

My opponent's reasoning reminds me of the heathen, who, being asked on what the world stood, replied, "On a tortoise." But on what does the tortoise stand? "On another tortoise." With Mr. Barker, too, there are tortoises all the way down. (Vehement and vociferous applause.)

32. I sit corrected.

It's turtles. All the way down.

[njhoneybadger]

24. George Soros and Hillary Clinton!

[TheBlackAdder]

26. I thought it was Bill Gates.

28. He was but now he's busy chipping up the Covid Vaccines.

[Mad_Machine76]

33. I've wondered the same

but instead we get folks blowing themselves up with homemade rockets

[Hekate]

34. Ask the Great A'Tuin....

There’s four elephants and one cosmic turtle, swimming through the deeps of space and time.

Just not in this corner of the multiverse.

[niyad]

35. I just learned that person I know is a flat-earther. And that question occurred to me.

of course, as posted upthread we have proof positive that the earth is not flat. Cats,!!!
