Not really. The only word in that whole tweet which is technically incorrect is "already"

The moon doesn't produce light, it is reflecting sunlight, so in my opinion the first statement is incorrect

But if the moon wasn't there, there would be no light reflected. Doesn't matter the source, we have light at night because of the moon

Well, the energy comes from the proton-proton chain which collides two protons, forming a deuterium core, a positron and a neutrino. The positron almost instantly annihilates with an electron, creating a gamma ray of energy. The deuterium core then collides with a second proton, forming helium-3 and releasing another gamma ray in the process.

How the actual sunlight forms, I don't know tho. It has something to do with the neutrino carrying energy to the protosphere, but what happens there, dunno.

I would hope the whole thing is a joke in general.

"The sun gives us light when it's 'already' bright" is where the real logic breaks down. "I don't need because I already have " is circular logic.

So of course we wouldn't have sunlight at night without the sun. but we also wouldn't have sunlight at night without the moon.

Whether we want to call it "more useful" than the sun... it is just as useful as the sun at night. We need both of them for the system to work. I was just trying to snarkily emphasize that we shouldn't downplay the moon because it is "just" reflecting sunlight.

Yeah but I could just put a big mirror up there and it would be better

You could put a big flashlight up in place of the sun and it would be better, or something. I dunno lol

The moon is cooler because you can look at it without burning your eyes

Pfft Sirius, aka the North Star, is nearly twice as hot as the sun and I can look at it without burning my eyes. Boom roasted!

Yeah! The moon is actually creating a vacuum that sucks up all the light. That's why the sun has to chase it away and give us new light. Damn moon, taking all our light! FUCK YOU MOON!

I'd argue it's the only correct thing though. Sure, it's through reflection, but reflection is absorption and re-emission so the light really comes from the moon.

It appearing during the day in no way conflicts with “it provides light at night”. Those are both true.

Except that it doesn't provide light at night about half the time on average...

So the part where they said its bright during the day is a lie? How did i live this long without knowing this?

Your notification brought me back here and I got to lol again. Ty lmao

Oh yeah this is total bologna. Everyone knows that the moon is made of cheese!

Who the fuck wants light at night?
I wanna sleep, or see the stars.

This is what happens when mom gives her noisy brat a tablet to look at while she finishes her homework

Besides the sun is way too hot in the daytime but totally cold at night, practically useless

These comments failing to parse the wording of this statement are hilarious.

We are a doomed species.

It's like a turducken, you unwrap some stupid and there's a whole different stupid under it carefully prepared, I love it, well done

Same with noisy underperformers vs quiet workers

The moon is technically a mirror. It reflect enough light to get to us. It may not be completely smooth but it's large and close enough for us to see. You can think of it like someone's forehead reflecting light. The skin my be rough but it's large enough for us to see the light reflected.

Nah my man you've got it all wrong. The moon is a lazy bitch that only gives us little bit of light. The sun's the boss.
