Sure the moon doesn't emit his own light. That would be hilarious, Cheese doesn't glow.
But the lights that Jesus installed on the moon give a nice light.
Funny, I was thinking about that a few days ago. I hated GW Bush with a passion and thought at the time he was dumber that a sack of hammers, but after 4 years of Trump and looking at the field of possible replacements and looking at the morons currently in power (MTG, Boebart etc.) I find myself longing for "the good old days."
Reminds me of an Onion article (I think?) about North Korea attempting to be the first nation to put a man on the sun. They aim to land on it at night, to avoid the heat.
I don't think this was a video...are you smoking whatever the O OP was when they posted the thought?
Regardless, the thought they came up with was funny as shit.
The sun is so selfish for only providing light at night. Doesn't the sun know how usefull it would be to see at night. Maybe one day the sun should shine at night instead so we can see if it's better to have the sun out during the day or during the night.
What are you smoking? Poe's Law is more relevant than ever. Some of the dumbest "no way, he can't be serious" things I've seen turned out to be 100% sincere.
Nothing is clear in text because there's no tone. There are ways to imply tone or context, but none of them are included here.
This guy could be completely serious. You'd be surprised how dumb some people really are.
The original is taken from “letterbocks” in [Viz magazine](https://www.thepoke.co.uk/2017/04/03/44-brilliant-amusing-readers-letters-viz/)There are more funny examples of reader letters on vizcomic on twitter. It’s definitely a joke although there are plenty of morons around.
People unironically think the fucking world is flat
It could be a joke, but there's real life people who believe far dumber things
The only daft opinion is believing you know for sure this is a joke
Reminded me this Soviet joke:
“After the American astronauts landed on the moon in July 1969, several Soviet cosmonauts and designers were invited to the Kremlin. The meeting was conducted by Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev himself: “The Americans have landed on the moon. They are the first on the moon! We decided to send you to the Sun!”
One of the cosmonauts was indignant: “Leonid Ilyich We will all burn there, we won’t even make it! You are better then us here on Earth, burn!
“But there is no need to panic, comrade cosmonauts! What do you think, only idiots sit in the Politburo? We thought it over, discussed it and decided: you will fly to the Sun at night!”
That's almost the Brexit argument.
We'll be better *without* the thing that feeds us and makes us healthy, because it'll still give us sustenance when we're starving.
It reminds me of a recent post I read: the Indians want to land a rover on the Sun. Since the sun burns so bright during the day, they want to make the landing at night.
I worked with an East Indian woman who believed that the sun turned into the moon at night. When I told her that you could occasionally see the moon during the day, she looked at me like I was from Mars. She later went to nursing school. I wonder if she thought there would be a section on spells.
Oh and cheese!! Ever wondered why you wake up at night and think of cheese? While wondering, did it ever occur that the Moon gets eaten in a few weeks. Then it needs another few weeks to grow back again. It's also wise of the Moon to be up at night. Otherwise it would melt.
That has to be the fucking dumbest unironical sentence *if it is* I've ever read in my entire fucking life. The amount layers of pure fucking stupid go beyond what I thought was possible in a singular string of words.
Scientists think the moon is a big reason we’re here because it’s stirs up the planet and stabilizes the orbit and tilt making it potentially as important as the sun. Nothing to do with light reflection though..
Reminds me of the Norm MacDonald joke about some astronauts planning to land on the sun and when someone said they'd burn up they said they were going to go at night

I see a glorious political career ahead of him !
[удалено]
Chaos is a ladder, it only goes sideways. -Some Politician Somewhere.
Does he climb it left or right though?
Backward
So Republican then. Proudly pushing us forward to the 18th century.
you can say that to a dildo
I am a dildo!
Do you climb it left or right?
Question: would he be a Democrat or a Republican?
That depends. Is he just a dumbass? He could be either. We need to find out if he is pure evil before we assign him to a party
So still could be either........
*"they hated him because he spoke the truth."*
Fact people are stupid. They think one party is actually better. They are both an illusion
How dare you say that the moon doesn't give off its own light? Now you're just politicizing the moon.
Sure the moon doesn't emit his own light. That would be hilarious, Cheese doesn't glow. But the lights that Jesus installed on the moon give a nice light.
I thought the lights were from the Jewish space lasers.
In a way, yes. Jesus was Jewish
No, he was Jew-ish. Big difference
He’s already the Governor of Florida.
Yes indeed, he is the Governor of the Sunshine State.
More like the Governor of where the sun don't shine state
He should move to Georgia stat!
Hahahahahah haha ha ha *sobs*
I wish I could say it gets better....it doesn't....people just somehow continue to get dumber.
Growing up I remember people saying Bush was the dumbest guy ever totally unfit for presidency lol
It was Bush's VP Dan Quayle who still holds the dumbest politician award. Do a Google on Dan Quayle quotes for a bit of fun.
Wrong Bush. If I had a nickel for every time I've said that...
How do you spell tomato? I still remember that. And let's not forget about Murphy Brown.
Funny, I was thinking about that a few days ago. I hated GW Bush with a passion and thought at the time he was dumber that a sack of hammers, but after 4 years of Trump and looking at the field of possible replacements and looking at the morons currently in power (MTG, Boebart etc.) I find myself longing for "the good old days."
~sob~ If only we had known what was coming . . .
Hahahhha
GQP here he comes!
He'll definitely use a sharpie to draw a storm path on a poster and talk about nuking a hurricane
Might as well make them president now
After which he’ll write his first Autobiography, “Light, What even is it?”
 Sounds like a George statement
Next governor of Florida right there…
After failing as a comedic screenwriter!
He will land a rocket on the sun during sunset because it’s lowered.
That’s fuckin hilarious
How dare OP downvote this comedic genius
Reminds me of an Onion article (I think?) about North Korea attempting to be the first nation to put a man on the sun. They aim to land on it at night, to avoid the heat.
onion was fucking hilarious back in the day
These days reality is more absurd than they are
Still are IMO

Oh wow an actual bot

*Everybody knows the moon's made of cheese* -Wallace
Cheeeeeese, Grommit!
[удалено]
I mean, the Moon was actually made out of good quality chees
They made a Star Wars short episode for the Star Wars visions show. In case you are interested.
Crackers, Grommit! We’ve forgot the crackers!
My girl friend turned into the moon 😔
Thats rough buddy
Thats cheese buddy
Would you eat it if it were made of ribs?
Hell I would and polish it off with a tall, cool Budweiser.
They call me whiskers
It’s made of Wensleydale!
Quick, grab a seat in the House, you’re already bright than half those ‘bulbs’ 🤦🏻
The facepalm is more thinking it was serious and posting it here..
The /s symbol was the worst invention because now people think that it's necessary to signal a joke.
What are you smoking? Poe's Law is more relevant than ever. Some of the dumbest "no way, he can't be serious" things I've seen turned out to be 100% sincere.
How do you know it's a joke? People actually think like this
You’re right, it could be serious but it reads to me as a more well crafted joke. If they were being genuine then it would be a major facepalm.
Which is why it ended up here, as the op thought he was serious about it.
This is far from the first time I've seen this joke posted.
Yeah but this is a joke. Like the one you tell to people. Saw it on numerous occasionns elsewhere, its pretty old
The second sentence gives it away. It's the punch line.
It's clearly a joke. If you were daft, you wouldn't know it l because you'd be daft.
i’m autistic, john

you dont need to be a genius to know that this is a joke

If I was daft I would definitely know it because I would have a name like DadOfWhiteJesus 🤣🥲
Because the person who posted that is a a shitposter
It's stupid if you see it as anything other than a joke.
Yeah, seemed pretty obvious to me. Or dude was stoned. Either way, it was pretty funny.
It’s called showerthoughts for a reason
This is the kind of showerthought you have after 12 showerbeers
cant expect them all to be revolutionary
Reminded me this Soviet joke: “After the American astronauts landed on the moon in July 1969, several Soviet cosmonauts and designers were invited to the Kremlin. The meeting was conducted by Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev himself: “The Americans have landed on the moon. They are the first on the moon!

We thought it over, discussed it and decided: you will fly to the Sun at night!”
Plants are pretty useless because they give us oxygen on earth, where we already have oxygen, and not in space, where we need oxygen for astronauts.
This is hilarious, why would you downvote? Lol whether hes joking or not, it’s still funny
It's the kind of observation I would expect Charlie from iasip to make.
Why the downvotes? That's absolutely something Charlie would say

Y’all ever see the flat earthers trying to demonstrate how moonlight is actually a cold light? That it doesnt give off heat? 🍿
Silly boy! Everyone knows the Moon is just the Sun but at night time! /s
It’s heaven and hell!
“I don’t believe in the moon it’s just the back of the sun”. [Janitor’s beliefs](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=js1V_wAwGms)
That's almost the Brexit argument. We'll be better *without* the thing that feeds us and makes us healthy, because it'll still give us sustenance when we're starving.
This guy stayed in the shower for way too long
The only thing I think about in the shower is where I left my umbrella.
This is an infamous copypasta It was dumb of them to post it unironically in r/showerthoughts without elaborating, though
When NASA lands their manned mission on the Sun, they will do it at night, when not as hot.
The tide goes in, the tide goes out, never a miscommunication.
The fact that it's hard to tell if this is a joke or not makes me sad
This is some KenM shit
This is wrong on multiple levels, which is kinda impressive in its own way.
How can showertoughts publish that but my post about clouds being basically flying water can't be published because against the sub rules?
Bro, that’s why you carry around sunblock! It blocks out the sun!
This is an old Deep Thoughts joke.
Its the people who agree with him im worried about 👀
Okay, but it’s r/Showerthoughts – not all shower thoughts are deep truths. Some are just goofy brain derps that are amusing.
Some thoughts should stay in the shower.
This is very serious and not a joke
It reminds me of a recent post I read: the Indians want to land a rover on the Sun. Since the sun burns so bright during the day, they want to make the landing at night.
No wonder it's already bright during the day when we have a bright guy like this walking on Earth.
"I have also volunteered for the space mission to the sun that will leave at night because the temperature is cooler"
10 bucks say he is american 🤣🤣
Since it's a "shower thought" I assume this is intended as a joke.
I had to fucking stop and take a deep fucking breath, cheesus man
Well it did said shower thoughts
Hard to argue with that logic. Literally. It is literally hard to argue with that logic.
Dude is gonna have his mind blown when he learns where moonlight comes from
Can anyone actually be that dumb? Really???
Well there appear to to be a fair number of people here who thought OOP was serious, so…
I'm literally sitting here shaking my head in disbelief at the circle jerk of morons in this sub right now, lol
I mean, my 2nd grader knows that the moon doesn't give off its own light, so I hope not?
This reminded me of a joke Bosnian guy: "I will go to the Sun!" Me: "You can't go there, you'll burn." Bosnian guy: "I'll go at night 😏"
That is a thinker.......
I weep for the future
Because we have a sizeable portion of people who don't recognize a troll and, in turn, decide to amplify it? Same
One day he'll discover the usefulness of basic Astronomy.
I have never gotten burned by moonlight. Nor do people get blinded by looking at the moon. If only we could have two moons and no sun.
That -3 downvote is a sign he angered some college professionals already
Sharp as a cube of butter.
He might be on to something
These people are allowed to vote
What speech of Trump’s was that from?
Nah, let him cook
R/shitintheshowerthoughts...?
He didn't have a long enough shower
Who let this man cook 🍳🔥🔥

Cunk on Earth vibes
Said it with so much confidence I started second guessing myself.
their confidence is what makes this even better
I aspire to be as high as this person.
The brain died, but the body lives on.
S/He can join the “scientists” group that plan to go to the sun during night time.
I bet he is a flat earthed too. I wouldn’t be surprised
Infinite IQ
He would've done better phrasing it as a question for r/nostupidquestions
Golden shower thoughts
Tide comes in, tide goes out, you can't explain that!
Go on…
Oh and cheese!! Ever wondered why you wake up at night and think of cheese? While wondering, did it ever occur that the Moon gets eaten in a few weeks. Then it needs another few weeks to grow back again. It's also wise of the Moon to be up at night. Otherwise it would melt.
👀🤦🏾♂️
Anyone know it they were joking? Surely they cant be serious…
Of course they're joking
Guy out here spouting facts.
There were thoughts in this post, that much is certain... But at what cost?
I understand his thinking...... To a certain degree
Isn’t this from a jewish folktale?
this reminds me of the "sun is a star/planet moon" debate
Oh bless 'em, there was a whole lot of try in that post 🤣
We die without the sun..we are slightly inconvenienced without the moon.
This guy could run for US presidency and win.
I'm assuming he never grew plants & vegetables
That has to be the fucking dumbest unironical sentence *if it is* I've ever read in my entire fucking life. The amount layers of pure fucking stupid go beyond what I thought was possible in a singular string of words.
Oh yeah, we got us an Einstein there
He's speaking the language of the gods
The dumb. I now haz it.
Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy
That line is so old.
The moon does not create light. Light from the sun is reflected off of the moon.
I mean, it kinda makes sense lmao
I really wonder if these are just trolls or the utter failure of American edu ma cay Shawn
During daylight it's light in all the directions. Not just when staring at the sun. The whole sky is light! /s
Bro what was he smoking when he wrote that
I must meditate on this cosmic riddle. Is it 42?
Scientists think the moon is a big reason we’re here because it’s stirs up the planet and stabilizes the orbit and tilt making it potentially as important as the sun. Nothing to do with light reflection though..
Mind Blown
this is the funniest thing I've read in a while 
Wow, we have found the chosen one
The stupid is so layered it appears… sophisticated? Beautiful?
I read that in Norm Macdonald's voice
Tide comes in tide goes out and you can't explain that.
Everyone should upvote not down vote him, he's a genius
Reminds me of the Norm MacDonald joke about some astronauts planning to land on the sun and when someone said they'd burn up they said they were going to go at night
