Dude the flat earth people sent one of their leaders up into low orbit. When he came back and said the earth is round cuz he saw it, instead of believing him they just kicked him out. Some people are just beyond reason.
Love that they have leaders, meaning people who have advanced more into idiocy than on average.
Bro, I’m a level 37 idiot, better show some respect!
C’mon, they are flat fuckin earthers… What did you expect?
The Moon landing was staged, but Stanley Kubrick wanted to film on location.
Okay, here is what I believe:
I believe landing on the moon and a live video broadcast from the moon are two extremely different things.
I think they did have actors on a soundstage pantomime to the live audio being piped from the moon. Just cuts down on so many variables, and the stakes were too high for the broadcast to be a technical disaster.
I think that even despite that, the moon landing is still one of the greatest achievements of humanity.
I get the sentiment but they are not landing on the moon
I won’t believe until I see live tik taks from the cheese world
tik taks
As a middle-aged man who’s never used TikTok before, this is how I’m gonna refer to it from now on.
One of the funniest conspiracy theories I’ve seen is that “flat earth” is a CIA psyop to make other conspiracies look bad by association. (This came from a moon landing truther)
That’s the thing with conspiracy theorists.
It’s conspiracies all the way down.
yes flat earthers are used by the social designers to ‘poison the well’. What’s so funny? it would be strange if they didn’t exploit (and cultivate) the immense stupidity of the median person. It makes the job of lying to them easier (and cheaper)
Bleh, whether the trip is a success or not, do they at least have two functioning toilets?
For April 1 I almost made a Flat Moon Society but I ended up playing Starfield and forgot about it. I wanted to see how far I could go with it.
Apparently not very far 🤣
Looking at footage is among the weakest arguments against flat earth tbh
The moon landing is absolutely unbelievable, change my mind.
We escaped earths gravity in 1969… 1969!, during the height of propaganda and was able to broadcast that to everyone on earth in real time.
completely unverifiable to the layman except for fuzzy government issued film until years after when we have the technology to forge the whole thing.
Remember the average man was still subsistence farming until the last few decades.
It is not crazy to believe this is fake, I would go so far as to say, the only reason the majority of people believe it is real is because of completely irrational reasons and because everyone else does.
That’s not to say there isn’t completely rational reasons to say it really happened, but the same can be said about quantum physics.
The average man cannot be expected to believe it because the science technically exists, and you cannot call someone crazy for believing it.
It is completely rational to believe the moon landing was fake, it just happens to be wrong.
I’ve been on Lemmy for a little while now, but this is by far, without a shred of a doubt, the dumbest, most idiotic comment I’ve ever read here. Anyone with more IQ than a toaster knows we landed on the moon. There are literal transmitters on the fucking moon that every country in the world has access to pointing to and proving.
Christ fucking sake. It’s 2026. We’re literally fucking doomed as a species, aren’t we.
The average man is not a country, that is my whole point. Of course a country has the resources to prove we have landed on the moon but the average man does not, and guess what, that would require the average man to trust the government a government that might be lying about us going to the moon, not everyone wants the usa to get credit for it (looking at you Russia).
My point is not that it is impossible to prove we’ve been to the moon, my point is it is irrational for the average person to believe we have been to the moon, because the average person does not have the resources and time needed to prove we’ve been to the moon.
equire the average man to trust the government a government that might be lying about us going to the moon, not everyone wants the usa to get credit for it (looking at you Russia).
So you genuinely believe it is more likely that we didn’t land on the moon in the late 60s, but is in fact more believable that every government in the world since the late 60s have worked together in international unison, from turnovers of governments, left wing to fascism, working together to keep the wool pulled over the billions of regular citizens?
Geo-politically, some countries can’t agree that humans have a right to access to water. They go to war over petty disagreements. But they’ll completely work together to defend the global cover-up of the moon landing?
Fuck right off.
I’ve seen the Epstein files that isn’t as strong of a claim as you think it is.
We landed on the moon, I’m not saying otherwise.
But You cannot hold people not believing such an extraordinary claim accountable
Unless they are teaching it to others without doing the research.
It’s irrational to believe people get into metal tubes everyday and just go to the other side of the world.
The average man cannot verify a plane is capable of flight.
That’s what you sound like.
We escaped earths gravity in 1969… 1969!, during the height of propaganda and was able to broadcast that to everyone on earth in real time.
except the soviets said “GGWP” when it happened, you’d think they’d have much to gain by denying it too.
Maybe not but the USSR isn’t exactly around to verify that fact anymore so it still requires trust in the government.
