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.

What is the square supposed to be proving? That astronauts can put objects somewhere and they’ll stay there in zero g? That’s pretty much how zero g works.

Questioning how they have fresh fruit in space maybe? Without knowing anything about the logistics I don’t think it’s improbable, I’m sure lots of what’s at my local grocery had been sitting in boats and trucks and warehouses for a good month before I see it.

They grow plants on the ISS

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.

It’s literally a picture taken on the space station.

I imagine, they wouldn’t eat oranges in Zero-G, because the droplets would float around forever.
But of course, the least realistic part of this picture is that someone would cut open an orange and just leave it on a table like that.

They can eat whatever. Even spill drinks. Everything constantly moves towards the air ducts where liquids get filtered and solids get scraped. And sometimes you can find your lost pencil or flashlight there.
