“I award you no points. And may God have mercy on your soul.”
A simple no would’ve done just fine
To be fair, they used the word “the” correctly.
Not really. The only word in that whole tweet which is technically incorrect is “already”
The moon doesn’t produce light, it is reflecting sunlight, so in my opinion the first statement is incorrect
They didn’t say “produce” light, just “give” light
But if the moon wasn’t there, there would be no light reflected. Doesn’t matter the source, we have light at night because of the moon
And where does the light come from?
Teamwork!
Nuclear fusion is the ultimate example of teamwork
Hydrogen
Well, the energy comes from the proton-proton chain which collides two protons, forming a deuterium core, a positron and a neutrino. The positron almost instantly annihilates with an electron, creating a gamma ray of energy. The deuterium core then collides with a second proton, forming helium-3 and releasing another gamma ray in the process.
How the actual sunlight forms, I don’t know tho. It has something to do with the neutrino carrying energy to the protosphere, but what happens there, dunno.
I would hope the whole thing is a joke in general.
“The sun gives us light when it’s ‘already’ bright” is where the real logic breaks down. “I don’t need <thing> because I already have <benefit from thing>” is circular logic.
So of course we wouldn’t have sunlight at night without the sun. but we also wouldn’t have sunlight at night without the moon.
Whether we want to call it “more useful” than the sun… it is just as useful as the sun at night. We need both of them for the system to work. I was just trying to snarkily emphasize that we shouldn’t downplay the moon because it is “just” reflecting sunlight.
Yeah but I could just put a big mirror up there and it would be better
You could put a big flashlight up in place of the sun and it would be better, or something. I dunno lol
The moon is cooler because you can look at it without burning your eyes
It’s also cooler because the temperature is lower.
Which is why you can look at it qithout burning your eyes
Pfft Sirius, aka the North Star, is nearly twice as hot as the sun and I can look at it without burning my eyes. Boom roasted!
Sirius, aka the North Star
I’m, uh, not sure about that.
Except for those few times when it’s in front of the sun.
If they’re lined up just right, you still can! Only for a few minutes though.

The most incorrect thing here is saying that the moon gives us light at night
Yeah! The moon is actually creating a vacuum that sucks up all the light. That’s why the sun has to chase it away and give us new light. Damn moon, taking all our light! FUCK YOU MOON!
I’d argue it’s the only correct thing though. Sure, it’s through reflection, but reflection is absorption and re-emission so the light really comes from the moon.
No, the night part is wrong. The moon isnt only visible at night
He didn’t say it was though.
It appearing during the day in no way conflicts with “it provides light at night”. Those are both true.
Except that it doesn’t provide light at night about half the time on average…
So the part where they said its bright during the day is a lie? How did i live this long without knowing this?
Anyone else crack up at this genius?
I legit lol’ed
Your notification brought me back here and I got to lol again. Ty lmao
The KenM energy is strong with this one.
Wow this is some Ken M level of logic
Oh yeah this is total bologna. Everyone knows that the moon is made of cheese!
Not a problem, cheese reflects light.
Source: I just put some on my sandwich and I can see it.
You’re confusing me, is it bologna or is it cheese?
Who the fuck wants light at night?
I wanna sleep, or see the stars.
Besides the sun is way too hot in the daytime but totally cold at night, practically useless
These comments failing to parse the wording of this statement are hilarious.
We are a doomed species.

It’s like a turducken, you unwrap some stupid and there’s a whole different stupid under it carefully prepared, I love it, well done
