I mean, in a vacuum, and given enough time (and provided you remove the heavy bucket afterwards and are in no other gravity well), A. And flat-earthers DO believe this because they somehow accept that every OTHER planet is a sphere... For some reason... Just not our special little disk of god-made mud.
A lot of Flat Earthers don't believe in space at all. They believe the Earth is covered by a dome called the Firmament, which just has a lot of pretty lights on it. My favorite obscure Flat Earther belief is that all gravity is caused by the Earth continuously accelerating upwards at 9.8 m/s².
That would be cool if true. It wouldn't take long for us to reach the speed of light and then all sorts of cool things would happen. None of that makes it likely, and we'd need an empty universe to do that in or we'd be immediately obliterated, but still cool.
