EP.338/What's The Cringiest Midlife Crisis You've Seen?

Uh, DM's, what's going on? DM says, "Hi Luke, before I give my answers for this, this week's question, I will say that my meeting with my dad's student went great." That's great.

That's awesome.

Uh, "For this week's question..." DM's been working on, um...

For those who don't know the lore here, uh, from previous episodes back, DM has been working on a, I believe it's a comic, not a comic, but like a...

Is it a gra- comic or graphic novel or a cartoon or something like that, that you're hoping to, uh, bring about into actualization? So, uh, that is, uh, very exciting.

"For this week's question, not something I had no idea about, but someone, someone I was recently at camp with, maybe 12.

[laughs] Uh, the age range was a bit, was big.

I'm an older teen.

And she looked up at the sky and asked unironically why the moon was out.

No, this was not a new moon.

It was like 9:00.

She apparently thought the moon is only out at night." [laughs] It's been around for a whi- you go 12 years of your life and you've never seen that before? Where does this person live? Like, is this concrete jungle syndrome? Like, that to me, that shocks me.

Like, you've ju- you've never seen the moon out during the day? Like, what? That happens, like, all the time.

Like, let's look it up.

Why is the moon out during the day? It reflects sunlight strongly enough to shine through blue daytime sky.

It spends roughly half...

Yeah, I guess it is super fricking bright.

It spends roughly half its time in the daytime sky.

What? And because it is very close to Earth, its reflected, its reflected light is bright enough to remain visible.

It roughly spends half its time in the daytime sky, like, visible though? Half of the time it's visible in the sky in the daytime? That to me is, like, crazy.

That, that to, that, that shocks me.

And if that's common knowledge, maybe I'm the dumbass there.

But that one kinda shocks me that it's, it, half the time we see it, it's during the day.

Like, what? Something about that doesn't feel, like, intuitive to me.

Come on, Moon.
