You didn't mention the single flat-earth talking point that makes any sense at all: the angular momentum differential between the equator and the north or south pole, and the fact that humans are completely unable to detect the difference.

Well because imagine if we could. Imagine being near the equator on a nice vacation in the Caribbean and getting dizzy because you're moving too fast sitting there on the beach.

Clearly it has something to do with relativity, but I still don't like it. Roughly 1300 miles per hour versus 0 miles per her, and our bodies cannot tell the difference at all.
One of my old buddies is a pillar of the flat earther community. Like, he's in the netflix documentary and he's been on podcasts and stuff. So, I've heard it all. The angular momentum thing is the only 'factoid' that rings any alarm bells in my brain.

Well if you want to go even further we cannot detect our motion as we circle the Sun, or our solar system zipping around the galactic core, or our galaxy speeding through the cosmos. We are literally moving at unbelievable speed right now, but it's relative yes.
We can't even really feel our motion if we're up in a jet so long as the speed and altitude remain constant.

I was born near the arctic circle and live near the equator.
When I close my eyes I see stars whizzing past all the time.
