> and gravity, still pointing towards the center, makes you stand at an increasingly acute angle to the surface. The ground beneath you will then appear like one big endless mountainside
That’s why you never hear of people who went to the edge of that dis: they slid down that mountainside, and dropped off :-)
Alternatively, you can postulate that disc to be arbitrarily thick.
That will decrease the deviations. If that’s not enough to make them immeasurable, postulate that the stuff “deeper down” has higher density.
In the limit, just postulate that there’s an enormous black hole millions of light years below the center of the earth.
Flat-earthers probably won’t accept Newton’s theory of gravity, however, so you can make up anything.
