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.
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
I doubt those plants are orange and apple trees tho.
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.
I think you need to be a BIT of a maniac to strap yourself onto a rocket and blast off into space.
Why would you put any part on the table when it could simply float 🤔
There’s a clip that regularly goes around the internet of an astronaut doing something like drinking a glass of water and they just let it go and are shocked when it drops. I’m sure the same thing happens in space when they set something down and not perfectly still and it kind of floats away.
Alright fine 😂
It's literally a picture taken on the space station.
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
flatearth friendly
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...
I suppose that advertisers pick some parameters like geography, age, groups before starting the campaign.
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.
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.
