To get shadows like that on a studio stage you would need hundreds of thousands of little lasers stacked on top of each other. In 1969 those lasers would be hella expensive and very large, it would cost them less to send them to the moon then get all those lasers.

[@amelia3146]

Exactly!! And not even just ‘for their time periods’, honestly. I study & teach a couple courses on ancient history (mostly Mesopotamia, but I dabble in human origins) and it’s not only monumental architecture that were feats of human effort. Massive ‘tells’ (mounds) aren’t just piles of dirt: they are the results of years upon years upon years of occupation and building in the same area, creating layers of history!* Sometimes, particularly in N. America, these mounds WERE created intentionally, but over an extremely short period of time, meaning it would have taken a massive amount of labor and social organization. We’ve built palaces, ziggurats, temples, towers, fortresses, etc. for many, many, millennia now. If Shane & co. had done one iota of research, they would’ve been able to see that none of this popped up overnight; there was a progression. Humans can do some really amazing things and it’s insulting and ignorant (and often racist!) to go around desperately trying to prove ‘theories’ that say otherwise, you know? *you know, it’s kinda fun to think about that YOU are currently helping to create one (or at least something similar), just by living right now!

[@nuhsea7815]

True story: A few years ago, I was with a girl that I was on the verge of dating. We were talking about how crazy the world is these days and how many crazy conspiracy theories are on the rise. I started naming off certain groups of theorists, jokingly naming off the dumbest that I could think of. She didn’t have a problem with anything that I had said until I said flat-earthers. I was blown away, but I had to know why. She kept saying, “I don’t care about the shape of the earth” and it only confused me more. If you aren’t a flat earth believer, then WHY would you have a problem with me calling them out? As it turns out, Shane Dawson was her source. She was directly quoting the flat-earther in the video that Shane published. It became sort of a meme in my friend group for a short while. For those who might ask, I DID delicately try to explain that the earth is round without making her feel like I was mansplaining or talking down to her. THEN I showed her videos of people explaining that the earth is round. She ultimately continued on with “I just don’t care about the shape of the earth.”

[@machshfive]

Oof how can anyone this day in age think that the earth is flat.

[@camille1324]

Lol that’s wild. “I don’t care about the shape of the earth” is such a funny thing to say. I got into A Conversation with a girl who believed that “space isn’t real” and I was like okay… but what about this or that piece of evidence and her answer to everything was “don’t care. the government plants fake facts”

[@catmerchant8699]

She out here giving no f’s she so real for that

[@smoothiecool]

It is hilarious though, for NASA and government, to create OFFICIAL sites disproving what's clearly not real. I did like watching whatever "proof" flat earthers could ever come up with, to prove their point, which in the comments others would troll and what not. But now all u see is, how only dumb people think of this, how it is clearly fake, the words "Flat" "Earth" alone trigger only major results posted by cliche youtubers covering the said topic and "disproving" it, as if they're the first humans to ever do so, rather than any other content, at all. So I think, this fuels more fun to people who already don't have a solid view on Earth's shape, but also know of NASA's moon landing clownery. Like, nudges them into the tin foil hat or something. lol.

[@froggy5748]

@@catmerchant8699except she doesn’t “give no f’s”, if she truly didn’t care then she wouldn’t be defending flat earthers. she very clearly cares when she’s defending a viewpoint that she claims to not even care about. it’s like if i said i don’t care about how big my nose is, but if anyone talks about my nose i suddenly get super defensive while also claiming i don’t give a shit. it’s the furthest possible thing from real, it’s fake as hell.

I watched an interview with H3 and Bo Burnham from around the same time and they joked about the Hologram moon theory as Bo was unclear at 1st that he was talking about the moon landing theory. (In this context he was talking about a friend who didn't believe in the moon landing and didn't think that he had to clarify as it was the most popular moon related theory at the time). Maybe that is where Shane got the hologram tangent from. I am gonna go retrieve my dog's food bowl now. Thanks for reading my tangent.

[@cd-ee9mf]

I'm embarrassed I used to be entertained by him. Very glad you're making this

[@tylerunderground]

Thank you Jess for saving the day

[@flow185]

I usually have a simple rebuttal for these argument: "If America DID fake the moon landing you wouldn't know it, nor would I"

[@gracekim1998]

That’s true🤣 plus when you factor the technology available in the 60’s, it’s impossible for anyone to fake it😅

[@saucevc8353]

We WOULD know ... because the Soviet Union would have caught on immediately and revealed it to the world, making America the laughingstock of the world.

[@veronicadar1382]

Has anyone else noticed that we haven't seen much of Mr. KZbinr since Pinely started using his face? Conspiracy?

[@TheAbigailDee]

UHM this is the series I've been WAITING FOR even though I didn't even know it. You're a king! And wowowow your girl sounds brilliant! A KZbin power couple!!!

[@2yearoldeastercandy935]

I like art, I’d say I draw more than your average person, and that bit with the shadows made my brain shrivel up. Like Shane, go outside at 5pm

[@ArtisticlyAlexis]

Ah, Pinely videos: My happy little escapism from actual problems. Easier to think about stupid Shane conspiracies tied up in a nice box, than the millions of idiots nowadays who believe in Qrazy conspiracies!

[@toneslight]

I'm also studying astrophysics and can fully relate to Jess' reactions

[@brutalbunny]

"this is my message to shane dawson if i see you in the street i'll [BEEEP BEEEP BEEP BEEP]" is literally the most relatable thing i've ever heard

[@HowdyHowdy_]

"Whats wrong with this man! He's a youtuber and he knows nothing about camera's!"

[@dianar9446]

PLEASE review the episode where Shane talks to his brother about flat earthing (I think the episode is called “MIND BLOWING CONSPIRACY THEORIES” yes in all caps)

[@Pinely]

Hahaha I think this is the most requested vid yet, we will definetly do that at some point

[@gunmunz]

It's pretty telling that if you break it down faking the moon landing would be as big of, if not bigger, feat than actually landing on the moon. 1: You'd have to somehow convince the Russians(and anyone with a sufficiently powerful telescope) that we landed on the moon. 2: The moon landing was broadcasted (on delay in case of an accident) live for 9 hours You'd need to pristinely cut 9 hours of film(in a massive canister of film) with no mistakes hairs, cuts or even dust. 3: Getting Kubrick to accept errors like shadows, the flag waving in the wind, the stage light, and the c rock.

[@madison3514]

“There is no goddamn C shape on the goddamn C rock” 😂

[@camih1715]

Jess is my spirit animal, even though she’s not a spirit, or an animal. You should have her on again, she’s really entertaining! 😂

[@gremlinwc8996]

I mean humans are animals so she's like 50% spirit animal

[@arianagarcia732]

I love Jess she ain’t afraid to speak the truth 🤪 we need more Jess content

[@rose-vn2jd]

I never watched Shane's videos but from the way you explains it he's giving a bad image for the conspiracy theories lovers like witch is not cause I believe in them it's just fun to link two things that aren't connected like a story Oh and bowl

[@CJMGalaxy]

This is what happens when quite stupid people are allowed to go around thinking they're smart. They confuse the ability to think thoughts with intelligence and we get tripe like this. My thanks to Jess, I am a quite stupid person myself and I knew he was wrong but didn't have the ability to articulate why. Needed a Smart to come in and explain.

[@skunkgirl456]

Dear god Shane trying to make his moon theory work makes my brain melt

[@PaddeeBA]

I love how the ‘proof’ in some of theories are just so obvious that there’s no way they would have overlooked it, if it was actually a conspiracy. You’d think that’d make them go “I probably just don’t know all the facts”, but no, they’re the only people who noticed a huge oversight, sure

[@ErgonomicChair]

This actually reminds me of the crap Keemstar recently started going on about, about UFO's from the sea flying up and "shutting down" nuclear reacotrs etc and that "the government knows there are underwater aliens but won't tell us!"

[@TimeForDunston]

Yeah, keem is a brainlet.

pinely, i never really noticed your artstyle until you made that moon, it looks cool

[@cakecel]

when i was 11 i told my dad abt this theory and told him i believed it , he told my entire family what i said. he still makes fun of me to this day.

[@kwarra-an]

Rest in pieces 😭❤️

[@delta6704]

Jess needs to be a regular on these Shane videos, she's adorable omg

[@finngreen3861]

I used to eat these theories up when I was between the ages of like 16 (assuming he started these in like 2016, I can't remember) to the time when he stopped. I used to love them, and even believed a large handful of the things he said, thankfully I was able to pull myself out of that all and no longer believe any of it but jesus christ. The stuff he talked about was just straight up brainwashing, and it worked.

[@mica9159]

The cat picture with her cussing him out makes it extra funny LMAO

[@MsMonarch]

“You can just- you can just bleep me- but I want this on the record!” WE LOVE JESS

[@callyobrien9429]

More Jess!! I love her she was so funny in this

[@Aught2]

"if I see Shane Dawson, in the street, I'll pun-(censored)!" "This is a message to Shane Dawson. If I see you in the street, I'll-(censored!) 😂 bro. Jess is too funny

[@Aught2]

"you can just bleep me, if it's against terms of services, but I want that on the record!" 😂

[@hannahdavis4256]

I really hate the excuse of "oh his fans are in on the joke." Sorry but there are plenty of people that take this seriously. Whether it's cause they're neurodivergent or cause they're young or they're just plain naive, people will take this stuff seriously. I know conspiracy theories personally mess with my OCD and paranoia a lot even if I know they aren't real. Just because some people might be in on the joke, doesn't mean everyone will be. Hence why tone indicators are VERY helpful, because some people can't tell jokes. So even if he was in on the joke and his fans were too, it doesn't erase the fact that there are people out there taking it seriously and that it can cause a lot of misinformation to spread. Even with some of my favorite KZbinrs, I sometimes miss jokes or don't understand that they were joking even though to most people it would be obvious. So something like this, played where it's so serious, yeah that excuse is not okay. /srs

[@kit7621]

Wait y'all believe in the moon?

[@Mrs.Self.Distruct]

It's just 🧀

[@valeryrosweld2411]

Jess has the same attitude as I do and I'm absolutely LIVING for it.

[@tylerunderground]

We do be loving theory busters doe

[@imlostinthefade]

My roommate and I were those teens who watched him religiously. We both hate him so much now, but she still believes the conspiracy theories :,3

[@modelmajorpita]

People spend all this time analyzing the photos and videos but like... the astronauts left behind retroreflectors on the moon which you can bounce lasers off of. Even if the moon landing was faked good enough to fool the Soviets but not good enough to fool Shane Dawson, there is stuff on the moon that must have got there somehow.

[@saucevc8353]

TO BE FAIR (I can't believe I'm trying to be fair to Shane Dawson) the retroreflectors really aren't visible unless you have a big telescope and a huge laser so only scientific observatories can verify it. I guess in Shane's conspiratorial world, all those observatories are just paid off, even the ones owned by the Soviets?

[@cheesebread3]

so embarrassing that I used to eat these conspiracy videos up 😩

[@whuuuut2035]

There was recently a video from The Why Files debunking every point he makes, pretty much in the same order. I think Shane may have just looked up "Moon landing fake" and read the first list he found lol

[@anttheman2332]

I remember watching one of these videos like 6 years ago and in the one I watched he straight up said that 11/9 was fake and was like “many experts say it was physically impossible for them to fall like that”

[@dominica7586]

embarrassed to say that when i was younger i believed him :( glad to say i now see how hilariously bowl wrong he is lmaoo

[@FrenkTheJoy]

"If they're on the moon... where are the stars?!" IT'S DAYTIME. IT'S DAYTIME ON THE MOON. THAT'S IT.

[@goldensloth7]

when i saw there was a new pinely i literally started snapping my fingers in joy, like you're a succesful beat poetry act or maybe a drag queen? my brain is mush. anyway thanks mr youtuber.

[@princembat]

jess' energy is the best thing ever, shes saying what the people have been thinking for years. also i really wish i could show this to my dad because he INSISTS the moon landing was fake and i just. he was literally alive when it happened. but ive long given up on trying to tell him how stupid his conspiracy theories are. bowl

[@FrenkTheJoy]

There's a sketch from That Mitchell and Webb Show that came to the conclusion it would cost more to film a fake moon landing, what with actor contracts, catering, paying for the crew, and the NDAs involved, not to mention the cost of costumes, the set, etc, than it would cost to just make a rocket and actually go to the moon. I don't know if that's factual, but considering how expensive some movies are to make...

[@kwarra-an]

I love that sketch! Thanks for reminding me of jt

[@honeybie170]

Jess was amazing, I love her energy, and I support her squaring up with Shane. I'd pay to watch that. Roll up with a bowl of popcorn and fizzy drink to see her throw hands with this man
