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?

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.

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

Didn't you know? The enlightenment spreads like an ideology. Traditional physics outplayed.

Philosophy 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!

So how many shitheads does it take to change a 15,000,000,000,000 Lumen bulb?
