This image is a parody of flat earth created by someone the flat earthers would call a globularist.
There are two “real” flat earth models. One is similar to this image, but the earth is encased in a dome on which the celestial objects ride. There is no outer space in this model, so there is no “other side” of the earth (or side walls for goats to tramp around).
The other model is an infinite plane. Like the first model, the North Pole is in the center and Antarctica forms an ice wall around the perimeter of the known earth. The government doesn’t want you to know about the lands beyond the wall, so they push the round earth lie.
As far as gravity is concerned, flat earthers often do reject the theory because it doesn’t fit well into their models. Some believe the earth is constantly accelerating upward at 1g, explaining the force we feel. If this is the case, we will exceed the speed of light after only 30 million years! Good thing the earth is only a few thousand year old.

There was a time when young-Earth evangelicals were the craziest people around the internet…
That’s table stakes today
