I still have a FB account since it’s the only contact I have these days with a lot of my highschool friends. I logged in earlier today and saw this “NASA is a hoax” garbage in my “suggested” feed.

There’s nothing in my history to suggest I have any interest in conspiracy theories. My friends are probably right-leaning on average (I’m from a small town in the south - so it goes), but I clicked and none of them are in that group. So I’m sort of assuming this is promoted. Joy.

    The orange slice appears to be balanced on its peel the way it would in gravity. But the ppl probably just placed it that way because that’s what they’re used to

      Why would you put the part you’re going to eat on your yucky ol’ space table? They put the peel side down because they’re not maniacs.

        I think you need to be a BIT of a maniac to strap yourself onto a rocket and blast off into space.

        Why would you put any part on the table when it could simply float 🤔

          There’s a clip that regularly goes around the internet of an astronaut doing something like drinking a glass of water and they just let it go and are shocked when it drops. I’m sure the same thing happens in space when they set something down and not perfectly still and it kind of floats away.
