Warning: My brother-in-law just argued that the moon landing footage was too perfect to be real.

He said the shadows and flag movement in the videos don't match the physics of a vacuum, which I'd never heard before. It made me actually look up the NASA rebuttals for the first time. What's the strongest counter-argument you've found for that specific flag claim?

My uncle still argues about the flag thing every Thanksgiving.

My family's the same, @kai_ramirez38, I just hide in the kitchen now lol.

Notice how every family seems to have that one scripted fight they just have to perform at holidays. It's like they're checking a box. Could be flags, taxes, or which way the toilet paper roll goes. The kitchen becomes the green room where you wait for the next act to start.

dude my family's go-to is literally arguing about whether my cousin's new boyfriend is "good enough" for her. every single thanksgiving without fail my aunt brings up that he forgot to bring a dish once like three years ago and somehow it turns into a whole hour long debate about respect and tradition. meanwhile i'm just standing in the corner eating my third slice of pie trying to figure out how to teleport out of there.
