No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How to I prove to someone that the U.S. moon landing wasn't staged?
0·5 days agoI always felt that the most compelling argument that we did it was that faking it was too risky. If America faked it and the USSR went up and found no evidence that America got up there then that would have been impossible for America’s position on the global stage. Remember the Apollo missions happened during the Cold War. Irrefutable proof that America pretended to go to the moon would have been deeply damaging to idea that the might of capitalism was greater than the communists.
America left lots of stuff up on the moon with the idea that someday someone would go back up and see it.
It’s also not really a big deal if your friend doesn’t believe we went to the moon. What is their ignorance harming, really? They’re another cog in the great machine of capital and neither their intelligence nor wisdom is required to keep it spinning

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How to I prove to someone that the U.S. moon landing wasn't staged?
0·5 days agoThere are indeed. I think at least 1 mission laid out 3 reflectors in a triangle so the distance to the moon could be calculated?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college?
0·7 days agoYou don’t need to get shitfaced at a bar. 1 drink per hour is under the legal limit for driving. I find it’s enough to loosen up and if you politely decline further drinks nobody will bother you. And if they’re pushy order a sprite with a twist on the rocks. So it looks like you’re drinking alcohol but really you’re staying sober

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•McDonald’s CEO’s awkward taste test sparks mocking online: ‘His aura screams kale salad’
0·9 days agoSeriously. He took a normal size bite for someone who doesn’t want to get messy. The internet is acting like he needs to take a tv commercial sized mega bite to oversell how good the burger is.
Dude is clearly just a tidy awkward human and the internet is convinced that means the food is bad

News@lemmy.world•‘Several’ US fighter jets crash over Kuwait, military confirms
17·10 days agoNo no no. You misunderstand. These crashes were already paid for. We eliminated VA benefits to pay for the newest fanciest planes.
The photographer was likely a neighbor with a smartphone and enough interest in amateur photography to learn about composition
It takes more than 1 good position to quantify as a good person. Are you really that shallow? If hypothetical famous cannibal and child rapist Joe Eatskids says that he is in favor of Palestinian liberation and religious freedom in every nation does that excuse his other crimes against humanity?

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Earbud question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones?
0·14 days agoI like the ones with memory foam tips. The rubber mushroom tip ones make distracting noises when you move around while wearing them. They amplify noise from the cable rubbing on stuff so they’re really only good when you’re sitting still.
But if im sitting still I’d rather wear over the ear headphones

News@lemmy.world•Prediction market Kalshi fines MrBeast editor over insider trading
0·14 days agoDon jr is on the board. They had a bet that the SOTU would go to 111 minutes on kalshi. The SOTU rambled on for a painful 108 minutes.
I’m sure there is more than one fascist in DC who made serious cash on that bet
What did they look like when they were young? They must be at least 70 in this one
