Why are communication satellites important?
The high frequency radio waves used for telecommunications links travel by line of sight and so are obstructed by the curve of the Earth. The purpose of communications satellites is to relay the signal around the curve of the Earth allowing communication between widely separated geographical points. Is this clear enough this way or do I make a drawing to explain it?

8 ways life would get weird on a flat Earth News By Daisy Dobrijevic published July 23, 2021
Just how strange would the world be if it were flat?
1. Say goodbye to gravity (at least as we know it)
On spherical Earth, gravity tugs equally on objects no matter where in the world they are. For Earth to take the shape of a flat disk in the first place, gravity — as we know it — must be having no effect. If it did, it would soon pull the planet back into a spheroid.
2. It would certainly clear the atmosphere
With no gravity, flat-Earth would no longer be able to hold onto the layer of gases called the atmosphere. The force of gravity is what holds this veil around our planet.
3. Cloudy with a chance of sideways rain
If gravity pulled toward the center of the planetary disk, which in this case is the North Pole, precipitation would also gravitate toward that spot. This is because precipitation falls to Earth due to gravity and will therefore fall toward the point of strongest gravitational pull.
4. We would all get lost
It is likely that satellites would not exist if the Earth were flat, as they would have trouble orbiting a flat plane. "There are a number of satellite missions that society depends on that just wouldn't work," James Davis, a geophysicist at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, said in a statement "I cannot think of how GPS would work on a flat Earth,"
5. Some journeys would take forever
Longer travel times can be expected, not just due to no-GPS navigation issues, but also because of the distances we would need to travel. According to flat-Earth belief, the Arctic lies in the center of the planet and Antarctica forms a giant ice wall around the edge; this wall conveniently stops people from literally falling off the face of Earth. But if you are unable to fly around the globe and instead are forced to fly across it, then travel times would increase significantly.
6. No more auroras and we'd all be roasted
On spherical Earth, the swirling molten metal surrounding our iron core generates electric currents that in turn create our protective magnetic field which curves around the planet from one pole to the other, according to NASA . But on a flat Earth, without a solid core generating a magnetic field that protective layer — the magnetosphere — would cease to exist.
7. We'd all have to share the same night sky
A flat-Earth would not be split into hemispheres like it is on our current orb: So night and day wouldn't be flip-flopped depending on whether you're in the Northern or Southern hemisphere. Also, the night sky no matter where you stood on the planetary disk. It sure would make stargazing easier, as you wouldn't have to travel to a different hemisphere to tick off all the targets on your astronomy bucket list. But isn't that part of the fun?
8. Hurricanes would be a thing of the past
Every year, hurricanes (also called typhoons and cyclones depending on the location where they form) cause unprecedented damage. In 2017, Hurricane Harvey alone caused $125 billion (£90 billion) worth of damage to the U.S., according to NOAA .
The devastating rotating nature of these tropical storms stems from Earth's coriolis effect, which causes storms in the Northern Hemisphere to rotate counterclockwise and those in the Southern Hemisphere to rotate clockwise. However, on stationary, flat-Earth, no coriolis effect would be generated. No coriolis means no hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones. This is also why we don't see these types of storms between five degrees north and south of the equator, as the magnitude of the coriolis effect is zero at the equator, according to NASA .

Oh, everyone can believe what they want. Some people also believe in gods. It would be boring if everyone thought the same.
I live by a simple principle: free will is the supreme law.
Nobody's will may be violated.
That doesn't mean you can go around insulting other people. You can do that, but then you have to be able to take the echo.

I totally agree with you dear friend. I have a premise of life that I always apply in cases like these: "I can respect the ignorance of any person, but I do not share it", besides we are all ignorants, the thing is that not all of us are ignorants of the same things...! #supprtpinkbadgers #supportmetalpack 🙏👍👊 Please, don't waist more time about that user... Your time is more precious...! Be a good ignorant and ignore him...! 😀😜👍
Good for you, well thought out and well done, stay calm and carry on. I just saw a post, I think it's from g/ motivated, or something like that, calling on everyone to block this guy, with all due respect, but I don't agree, not because he doesn't deserve it, I think he deserves that and more, but it is being given attention, importance and free publicity that he definitely does not deserve...! I think it's best to ignore him as if he didn't exist. By the way, I blocked him too!!!! 👍😁😀😜
