> by going out just one whole night and watching the stars rotate around the pole A flat earth can also spin.

  If you can explain why the sky seems[1] to rotate counterclockwise around the north pole (from the North Hemisphere) and clockwise around the south pole (from the Southern Hemisphere) with a flat Earth, I'll be impressed. [1] Obviously, the sky does not rotate, the Earth rotates.

    That would be impressive. I'm not sure, but I think if the north pole was at the center of the flat-earth disc and the disk was spinning on the axis through the north pole you would see the sky rotate around the north pole. You would see this from anywhere on the disk, which would not be a problem if you never traveled south of the equator (decent assumption for most of the population). I'm just putting on the flat-earther's hat for fun.

    I have trouble imagining the rotation. If Earth is still and sky rotates wouldn't it still be counter clock wise at North Pole and clock wise at South Pole?
