have you people never seen an ocean? when you see ships go far enough out you see them disappear behind the curvature of the earth, you'll see masts of sailboats sticking up and the like.

Not just the ocean. There are lakes large enough of this effect to happen.

No, I have never been to the beach or seen the ocean.

If you ever get the opportunity to, highly recommend going to see it. It's probably my favorite thing on earth.

You mean your favorite thing in ocean /s

No, us prairie people don’t think about the ocean that often, but yes I’ve seen that. A wave just seems more mountain-like than the horizon.

None of what they say makes sense when you string any two parts of it together, so trying to figure out which thing is more mountain-like is giving them credit they're not really due.
