Put a flat earthier into space

I did an experiment earlier to see if carrots could be frozen. So, I took two carrots and using markers, put blue rings round every 1 and 9/16 inches along, peeled one side, walked to the freezer and stopped, because I just knew they couldn't be.

Carrots are orange because of sunlight absorption starting friction in the carrots inner core. This refracts radient heat through exoskeleton and means they cannot freeze. There is zero proof they can freeze.

Then I put them on the floor and decided the standard globe model says these should spin and point to the nearest water, they didn't move. So proven, the earth is not a globe.

I think they are meant to represent the gradient. From the nipple of the lemon squeezer down into the moat and back up the incline to the ice wall

I'd love to see countries marked on that and see how regularly travelled routes work

I am guessing it's not in any way meant to accurately represent the actual continental land mass. Just any old land will do to give the example.
To do it "accurately" would invite more questions, such as how can the sun shine on south america, south africa and australia at the same time but it be dark in the "north" at the same time of day

I didn't dare ask

Refraction dip shit, refraction. No further explanation needed

The moat. Class.
 
I am pleased @Nukehasslefan provided a sketch.
Despite knowing the ridicule that would follow it does help explain some of what he's getting at. Still don't agree with him but I find it has helped a bit to explain his position.
Although i have many questions relating to the drawing I'll leave them for a bit as he'll be a busy lad tomorrow with the replies

But he was meant to do a drawing explaining how the section didn't have mega deep seas, I knew what he meant by land masses coming up hence my section drawing but as I say you can't have tall land masses, 6 mile deep seas and a lemon squeezer combined!
Look forward to his replies as you say!

I know. Back when we got the original lemon squeezer "something like this" quickly became "that's not my drawing". So what we've got is... progress?
I too want to see the cross section. Suppose this is a good diversion for a couple of weeks

This. Need the cross section showing seabed, but also the dome, preferably with a few arrows showing how those pesky points of light move over and around it.
