I would hope the whole thing is a joke in general.
“The sun gives us light when it’s ‘already’ bright” is where the real logic breaks down. “I don’t need <thing> because I already have <benefit from thing>” is circular logic.
So of course we wouldn’t have sunlight at night without the sun. but we also wouldn’t have sunlight at night without the moon.
Whether we want to call it “more useful” than the sun… it is just as useful as the sun at night. We need both of them for the system to work. I was just trying to snarkily emphasize that we shouldn’t downplay the moon because it is “just” reflecting sunlight.
Not really. The only word in that whole tweet which is technically incorrect is “already”
The moon doesn’t produce light, it is reflecting sunlight, so in my opinion the first statement is incorrect
But if the moon wasn’t there, there would be no light reflected. Doesn’t matter the source, we have light at night because of the moon
And where does the light come from?

Yeah but I could just put a big mirror up there and it would be better
You could put a big flashlight up in place of the sun and it would be better, or something. I dunno lol
And who’s gonna change the batteries? Checkmate
To be fair, they used the word “the” correctly.
