It isn't. All planets and stars are disk-shaped and rest on the back of four elephants standing on a turtle. Haven't you read Discworld?

Not like humans have been out in space and have seen Earth or anything, just like we don't have any objects in space that allow us to see Earth...

Earth is not a sphere. It's not perfectly round. Due to the rotation it's a little fatter across the equator, kind of like most Americans.

It's not perfectly round anyhow, so if you went to be really technical, no it isn't round.

Would it not still be considered round, but not a perfect sphere or pefectly round? Can an oblong still be considered rounsish?

There was a recent german astrophyscist that posited that the world was indeed a flat, planar thing only made to look 3D. I forget his name though. He won the nobel prize me thinks.

Apparently satellites, space exploration, Magellan, and other such things are part of a vast right-wing conspiracy.

He's right people. The world is shaped like a doughnut. All that "round" nonsence is a lie to keep all of us under THEIR control. But I've said to much already.

It's rounded and has a more cubed shape, but not circular, as you can see from this picture.

Then you're probably living in accordance with Heidegger's theory of being or another philosophy that relies on interpretation as the defining means of reality rather than factuality.
