Try to actually PROVE the spherical earth yourself, you will find yourself coming up short on verifiable evidence.

Re your pink highlighting: This is a FIRST ORDER APPROXIMATION, you daft fool.

Get yourself a pocket compass. Buy an air ticket from, say, London to Los Angeles. Then another from there to Tokyo. then another from Tokyo to London. Explain why the compass is pointing roughly west for the whole expedition.
Idiot.

I think most people these days are happy with the performance of their sat navs that tell them where they are to a high degree of precision.  And the whole GPS math that gives them that data is predicated on the earth being an oblate spheroid.  The geometry of a flat earth having satellites flying in circles above it would require different math.  And there would be nothing to keep the satellites up there anyway.
