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.
I should be sleeping, instead I’m reverse image searching and found this on a related pic

Think if it was a hoax, you’d spend a lil more on your PR team to spread it around with a catchier story.
Sounds like some round earth propaganda to me

I like that they have to add that.
I hope it’s because of some weird Facebook war no one in the real world knew about.
Facebook suggestions are based on nothing in my experience. It’s all clickbait and bullshit. The worst part is that there’s no way to turn this crap off.

I mean… I’m not seeing it anymore…
Easiest way to get rid of this spam when you’re on Facebook mobile is go down to the bottom of the screen and flick up with your thumb. You should see your app launcher. Then flick up with your thumb on the window.
I suppose that advertisers pick some parameters like geography, age, groups before starting the campaign.
They presume that anyone still on Facebook these days could be a potential convert? :-P (/s)
I traveled to North Carolina for work recently. The ads I got on my phone were off the deep end. Gun stores, FJB apparel, and all manner of right wing nonsense. I don’t get any of that stuff when I’m using cell data in my town.
I logged into FB via TOR and every other post was pushing thot-fans pages at me. Crazy absurd they’ll allow pushing anything. Such a dumpster fire website.

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.
