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?

[-] BigDiction@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

Philosophy dipshit here. How does a flash of light illuminate an object that big and far away?

I legit thought you were continuing the joke.

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?

[-] Localhorst86@feddit.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

Just one. See? I just changed it to 15,000,000,000,008 Lumen

Didn't you know? The enlightenment spreads like an ideology. Traditional physics outplayed.

But there are no swastika shaped star bases in that Foto. As we all know the nazis are up there so this is obviously fake.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

The reptilians ate all the Nazis

[-] thethunderwolf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

based reptilians

[-] DeadDigger@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

With all dew respect that's impossible: the reptiles are the nazis

[-] LePoisson@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

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.
