Thinking about a conversation I was having with an acquaintance years ago. He was a friend of a friend and we were talking about food. I forget the exact phrasing but I brought up loving avocados. He said “what’s that?” I was a bit surprised and explained. He responded “OH thats crazy I thought that was one of those made up words”. The statement was like a flashbang I had to contemplate for a few minutes. PERSONAL STORIES ONLY, DO NOT INCLUDE A STATEMENT FROM A CELEBRITY OR POLITICIAN.

    I can’t remember the context, but a coworker said “I shouldn’t have to care whether the moon gives off light or reflects it.”

    I remember being stunned…

      the moon is actually a mini sun, that’s why gives off light.

        The moon is made of cheese and, like all cheeses, emits light under a low enough temperate (space is so cold it doesn’t even have a temperature - it’s just “cold”). The REAL mindbender, is why the space dust particles make the light all bright instead of dirty yellow, like how i like my cheese
