1. Do you think the Earth is flat?
Not at all. Thousands of years ago me and some guy name Eratosthenes worked out the circumference, but I let him take all the credit since he was young and just starting out.
2. Why do you think that the Earth is flat, donut or a sphere?
Just go up high enough and look at the horizon.
3. What would you do if the Earth is actually flat?
Drive all my enemies off the edge like lemmings.

1. Do you think the Earth is flat?
I don't think it is, and I feel like at least some of the people arguing on the internet that it is are just trolling.
2. Why do you think that the Earth is flat, donut or a sphere?
I think it's spherical due to the pictures I've seen and the scientific consensus
3. What would you do if the Earth is actually flat?
Reevaluate my world view, I guess.

Sorry Im late to the party :P Thanks for the Cafe @GodIsWithMe
1) I certainly don't think the earth is a sphere, depending on if you count the water and air or not, it is either an oblate spheroid or just a messy rock in space.
This is just one rendering of what the earth should look like if you dont count the water or air but only the rock.
2) Any mathematician from a thousand years ago should be able to prove it is roughly a sphere, and anyone with a brainstem should be able to guess from how the horizon works that the ground curves down as it gets further away, but for the more advanced answers which I gave in Question 1, I rely on the intense investigations of greater minds (or rather minds more focused on the task)
3) I would likely die, very very quickly, along with everybody else.
