    I get that she’s an English major, but how is that an excuse to not know that cameras typically have a flash so they can illuminate the object being photographed?

      Philosophy dipshit here. How does a flash of light illuminate an object that big and far away?

        Philosophical shithead here!

        A 15,000,000,000,000 bulb, of course!

        But how could we know that that object illuminated by a 15,000,000,000,000 Lumen bulb is even real? For all you know, that massive object illuminated by a 15,000,000,000,000 Lumen bulb could be a fiction, a simple 15,000,000,000,000 Lumen shadow upon the wall!

      But there are no swastika shaped star bases in that Foto. As we all know the nazis are up there so this is obviously fake.

      I feel like this needs a /s because people might be dumb enough to actually think a flash of some sort was used to capture these images.
