      To be pedantic (which is the theme so far), the term"post" can also refer to a posting which would include comments.

      “I posted a comment to your post”.

      That said, it’s certainly not a hill I’m willing to die on lol.

    I don’t really pay attention to down nor upvotes. Don’t even really understand what it does, I currently see it as: x amount of people agree or disagree with OP.

    I see a lot of posts that are spam that get a shipload of down votes. Usually advertising some pills or something

    Fortunately, they are removed pretty quickly

    Possibly this guy on this very community saying he liked to publicly masturbate and asking women how they’d react to seeing him

    Not a post, but a comment. And I hope it’s this one because it’s basically copying another comment.

        You say that like that’s never been brought up before. The Mythbusters episode about it even ended on that note. They said “manmade stuff is on the moon, so men must’ve been up there” but didn’t discuss the part where there’s more than one way manmade stuff could end up on the moon (which itself seemed unusually hasty for them).

          You are very ignorant of the truth. Do you think we landed a probe on the moon that was able to take apart and bring back parts of Surveyor 3 in 1969? That would be way more unbelievable than humans doing it instead. What a incredibly stupid and moronic hill you’ve chosen to die on.

            That’s based on the assumption of that being the process of what went on. As I said elsewhere, there seems to be a very unbreakably second-hand nature to this. It is my conclusion, just as yours, your hill, is yours. I’m not attempting to crusade on your own hill so much as I’m stating how people react to hearing what I think.

              They react that way because its unbelievable how someone could actually be as stupid as to deny the moon landing in 2024. “You weren’t there first hand” is not as good as a defense as you think, and you’ve used it over and over. Is that all you’ve got? I haven’t been to the war in Ukraine, but I sure as hell know it’s happening. Are you unable to know something is happening without it being in your face?

                Then I guess a quarter of Europe is stupid to you. A lot of things fall under the definition of “first-hand”; if I said “here is a moon rock, you can test its properties out”, that would be first-hand, as opposed to “I got a moon-rock as proof, but that doesn’t matter because NASA has it and they’ll never let you test it” or “here is footage, footage means it happened”.

                  Yes, anyone that can’t comprehend that we landed on the moon is stupid, like you. Correct! That is indeed how statistics work.

                  Hilarious that you’d link an article that says that it actually happened, too.

                  NASA has sent moon rock samples around the globe. They’ve been compared to rocks retrieved by probes and are the same (this was discussed at length in my previous Wikipedia link). But I guess that’s suddenly not going to be good enough for you, you’ll just come up with another reason to die on this hill. At least I can be happy knowing that we really did go to the moon, I’m sorry your brain will never be able to comprehend that amazing fact. It’s sad, when it comes down to it. I feel bad for you.

      Well, that is hardly a lot of down votes. You’re going to try harder with your brand of conspiracy

        I wasn’t “trying” to induce that effect, it’s a genuine conclusion I have. And I did get temporarily banned from the other AskLemmy for it, so yeah, there’s that. If there’s any others that have more downvotes, they would be new to me.

      The moon landing happened. It’s obvious. Even without the evidence that it happened (which we have in abundance), there’s the fact that the soviet union didn’t even try to claim it was fake (when they had every incentive to do so).

      If you claim to not believe in the moon landing, you’re either a troll or an idiot. You were banned for trolling because they were being kind in their interpretation of you.
