  The moon is a transparent light source.

  You might be asking yourself how does a transparent object generate it’s own light? Well let me explain: trust me bro.

    Not sure if you were aware of the meme, but I was making a portal reference, as in “the cake is a lie.” The image looks the same as the portals in the video game “portal.” The original context of “The cake is a lie” was to convey the message that a reward is being used to motivate Chell, the player character of Portal, without any intent of delivering. It was my attempt at making fun of flat earthers. I do believe the earth is round, that we orbit the sun, that the moon orbits earth, and that the moon landing was real.

      Oooo Kay.

      Not sure why you found it necessary to explain the joke.

      But like you I am also making fun of flat earthers.

        I guess I misinterpreted the intent of your comment, like you might have thought I was a flat earther. My bad.

  Can’t land on a lie.

  I wonder are there flat earthers who are also simultaneously NOT moon landing deniers? Or is that like a prerequisite.
