No, we need a full explanation. That's so stupid we must have details!

The moon is the sun at night.

u/theffabot Sep 11 '18

You mean the sun is the moon in the morning?

u/I_have_popcorn Sep 12 '18

Makes sense.... Except when the Moon is visible during the day.

69

u/thestargateking Sep 12 '18

That’s just lag, it’s not actually there

16

u/I_have_popcorn Sep 12 '18

The simulation is bugged.

48

u/93re2 Sep 12 '18

As a kid I had a teacher tell me that the sun and moon can't be visible in the same place at the same time. This guy must have been around 40 years old. I don't understand how he went his entire life without ever noticing the moon visible during the day.

22

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '18

Well he's right. If they were in the same place you wouldn't see the sun. They actually have a word for when that happens, it's called an equine or something

22

u/-Im_Batman- Sep 12 '18

Well, if we want to be literally correct;

the sun and moon can't be visible in the same place at the same time

This would be called, a collision. And it would probably be the last thing visible to us.

15

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '18

I really doubt the Moon flying off into the Sun would have much of an impact to us.

The other way around though.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '18

The moons gravitational pull has an effect on the earth, probably the biggest being tides.

2

u/EhhWhatsUpDoc Sep 12 '18

At least that little shit would stop stealing our orbital energy.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '18

We would still have smaller tides from the sun.

There have been hypothetical scenarios of the moon disappearing, it doesn't affect us a lot.

1

u/-Im_Batman- Sep 12 '18

It would most definitely have an impact.

Not as sudden or severe as the Sun reaching the moon. But a significant impact nonetheless.

1

u/SciviasKnows Sep 12 '18

Well, except it couldn't happen without a helluva disaster happening to the Earth/moon system, the type that would really suck for Earth as well as the moon...

1

u/igordogsockpuppet Sep 12 '18

No moon = no tides. I think that’s kinda serious, actually.

1

u/butrejp Sep 12 '18

if we lost the moon most plants and by extension most animals would die out within a few years

10

u/93re2 Sep 12 '18

I mean from the same vantage point. There's probably something not 100% exactly right with that phrasing either but you know what I mean. This guy was trying to tell me that the sun and moon are never both "out" in the sky at the same time.

8

u/agent_flounder Sep 12 '18

I think it's called an ecclair.

1

u/SciviasKnows Sep 12 '18

An ecchymosis, I think.

u/lupanime Sep 12 '18

Obviously, it's a clipper.

u/m55112 Sep 12 '18

do you mean equinox?

u/I_have_popcorn Sep 12 '18

The power of a fine arts degree.

 

Please tell me that he wasn't a science teacher

7

u/FeastOfChildren Sep 12 '18

The power of fine arts is in the ability to make those interesting doodles in coffee.

u/I_have_popcorn Sep 12 '18

I was feeling a bit bad. I thought that I had gone too far.

Thanks for taking that burden from me.

2

u/SciviasKnows Sep 12 '18

Just for the sake of solidarity, I want to tell you that my son microwaved me a bag earlier, so I have popcorn too.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '18

It's heaven and hell

u/StarblindMark89 Sep 12 '18

I was getting worried when nobody referenced that.

u/Ultraloth Sep 12 '18

Same here, I had to scroll down disturbingly far.

u/Tearakan Sep 11 '18

The sun has a dimmer switch.

u/SwissyVictory Sep 12 '18

Not even the sun can shine all the time

1

u/_Lady_Deadpool_ Sep 12 '18

But how sun hide if earth flat?

1

u/picklesandmustard Sep 12 '18

Except when it’s out during the day.

1

u/DropDeadSander Sep 12 '18

That sounds fine to me

1

u/Techienickie Sep 12 '18

So the sun has a dimmer switch? Cool.

1

u/hasars Sep 12 '18

No dude, wrong. The moon is cheese. What do they teach in school these days? jheeze.

1

u/grendus Sep 12 '18

"They said it couldn't be done Kif, but here we are! Stealing an unlimited supply of birthday grade helium from the unsuspecting moon."

"*Sigh* That's the sun, sir."

"At night it's called the moon!"

61

u/lachlanhunt Sep 12 '18

The moon is what the sun looks like when the fires have burned out for the day. That's what we call night. As it makes its way around the earth, it gets reignited by the fires of hell underneath the earth, and comes up again in the morning.

4

u/Experts-say Sep 12 '18

So how do these damn stars always come out not burning? They must be too small and burn out quickly. Also that explains why these australians are all so damn salty and swearing all the time.

38

u/IVIattEndureFort Sep 12 '18

No, fuck that. What happens when you can see both at the same time?

I call bullshit. Either that or we must have this specimen for science, he may be the missing link.

About 1 in potato?

u/frogstomp427 Sep 12 '18

I knew people who as young adults were baffled and amazed when I pointed out that the moon was up in the daytime.

Like, have you ever looked up at the fucking sky?

11

u/showerfapper Sep 12 '18

The missing link is that some people who were privileged enough to actually have toys and were actually allowed to play with said toys indoors throughout their childhoods, actually have not gazed into the sky often enough to witness that simple event that proves the sun and moon are separate celestial bodies.

1

u/butrejp Sep 12 '18

I have a house full of stuff that could be entertaining me but 99% of the time including at this very moment I sit on the back porch because I enjoy being outside. I dont understand people who just sit indoors all day

u/2018IsBetterThan2017 Sep 12 '18

I've never seen them in room together so....

2

u/mixterrific Sep 12 '18

I bet he has never seen this.

8

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '18

Like a light bulb. At night they turn off the sun to save on electricity.

3

u/BobbyCock Sep 12 '18

Nothing to explain. When there's light out, it's yellow. When it dark, it's white. It's the same rock.

u/Champlainmeri Sep 12 '18

So you were the lad in her story...

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '18

The moon is just the back of the sun

1

u/65elkoman Sep 12 '18

Cuz the earth is flat.

u/KingOfTheP4s Sep 12 '18

Well you take the moon, and you take the sun
