This is actually neither the far side nor the near side; it's in between the two.

This is what your get when you keep referring to it as the "dark side". Ignoramuses beget ignoramuses.

Hello, ill-informed, nice to meet you.

It's only the far side from Earth.

You're ill-informed!

I guess she never thought about how moon cycles work.
But also, one could've probably told her that the reason it was light was because they went up there during the day (which is technically true from the perspective of the moon).

One thing I hadn't really thought of before was the reason as to why one side of the moon is always facing earth, aka tidal locking, so that was a fun read.

Clearly fake, they don't want us to know about the Nazi bases.

This one actually made my brain stutter for a few minutes. I couldn't tell whether I'm the dumb one or they.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Ok, you're ill-informed.

It's because they took the photo during a solar eclipse, of course!

The moon is made of concentrated aether, duh
