Ooh I recognize that twitter account. “Ill-informed” is an understatement.
I wonder if people living in Belfast in the 1970s would have described it as calm, still, peaceful, restful or natural.
For people like that “peaceful” means “no brown people”.
Jesus fuck. I was born and raised in Belfast, there’s absolutely nothing about the experience today (out in 2019) that even remotely resembles the 70’s.
Highly recommend the book “Doppelganger” by Naomi Klein where she talks about how weird it is to get confused with Naomi Wolf. A real feminist vs a playactor, just like how the right playacts science and reason by ‘doing their own research’ and playacts working class solidarity by showering the public with populist propaganda while shredding their legal protections
Yeah but they have 4G! THAT IS STRAIGHT POISON!
A lunatic confused by the moon. There’s a certain poetry to that.
English major
The headlights of the spaceship of course
This problem is english language specific. It’s called the dark side of the moon. In french, we say “face cachée”: hidden side.
Holy shit, cache comes from “hidden.” I’ve been programming all my life and never realized this.
“Dark” here apparently means “unsern” or “hidden”, but it’s incredibly confusing.
I had to explain to a co-worker today, that the far side of the moon and the shadow side is not the same thing. I’m amazed how uninformed some people are.
They used the flash duhh…
Starlight?
It’s only the far side from Earth.
Wait a second…
In theory we’d have an XK class event pretty much monthly
Some questions are best to be asked at an AI of your choice.
At least it won’t humiliate you
Integrity’s headlights
If you blink really fast the heat generated by your eyelids makes a very bright light that is very similar to sun rays.
Fortunately for us the 4 astronauts were very well trained with this technique so they each took turns at lighting up the moon while the others took photographs.
In other news it was probably not a good idea to call it the dark side of the moon hence why it’s refer to as the far side of the moon.
Good luck with the blinking, stay hydrated.
blink fast, heat, bright light
Source? I’ve never heard of this before and can’t fathom how that might be possible.
This make me sad, English major or otherwise. I mean, you can look up at the moon and see when the far side is at least partially illuminated.
One Pink Floyd album and now we have to deprogram everyone’s misconceptions
I get that she’s an English major, but how is that an excuse to not know that cameras typically have a flash so they can illuminate the object being photographed?
Philosophy dipshit here. How does a flash of light illuminate an object that big and far away?
Philosophical shithead here!
A 15,000,000,000,000 bulb, of course!
But how could we know that that object illuminated by a 15,000,000,000,000 Lumen bulb is even real? For all you know, that massive object illuminated by a 15,000,000,000,000 Lumen bulb could be a fiction, a simple 15,000,000,000,000 Lumen shadow upon the wall!
So how many shitheads does it take to change a 15,000,000,000,000 Lumen bulb?
I feel like this needs a /s because people might be dumb enough to actually think a flash of some sort was used to capture these images.
Hint:
Far Side ≠ Dark Side
It can be confusing because the far side of the Moon is sometimes also referred to as the Dark Side because it is “dark” to us, in the sense that we cannot see it from Earth.
Did Pink Floyd lie to us?
