I've seen those diagrams too, but they really don't work at all unless you handwave in a bunch of physically impossible optical illusions or some such. The flat-earth idiots can't even come close to explaining how a sunrise or sunset works in that model.

To site just one example, how does it happen that high clouds or airplanes are lit by the sun before (sunrise) or after (sunset) the sun is visible on the surface? The geometry just doesn't work for that or for many other simple, naked-eye observations.
