Not the things that happened on the other side of the earth from the moon...or inside under roofs.

Good point. The moon would only be caught up every 12 hours. It’s like a tv show. Easy to catch up.

Get back in the shower and rethink why you felt the need to add “/womankind”

and completely leave out /animalkind and /plantkind. They are living on this planet too, you know!

I thought because just mankind I’d have someone else say “ hey why didn’t u say womankind “

Seems like Better to say it then not I guess ?

Well, mankind already refers to Homo sapiens, but sure, there's always someone to take the "man" out of it...

The etymological root of "woman" is wife of man, so tripping over ourselves in the name of sensitivity isn't really accomplishing anything here. See also: person.

I quibble.

But it was closer when there were dinosaurs. It had a better view!

Mankind: human beings considered collectively; the human race:

It’s perfectly acceptable to use “mankind” to refer all humans.

mortimus9 t1_je8ejpi wrote

Okay but why is it a problem to use womankind?

Though the may sound similar, they have different etymology and different meaning.

Upper_Initial7918 t1_je8c6ma wrote

The meaning of mankind: "human beings considered collectively; the human race."

Anyone who argues against it, feminist or not, is an idiot.

The word ‘man’ can be used for all humans, which is why we have words like mankind and not womankind

The things that happen during daytime are not seen by the moon.

There are many bright sunny days where you can still see the moon in the sky

Olorin_Ever-Young t1_je8dg24 wrote

... Yes. But...... So you think the moon just constantly stays in one position indefinitely? And that that somehow simultaneously makes it omnipresent?

LMAO, true or not, I really enjoyed this shower post.

If terrestrial bodies can see then I reckon the earth has seen more of what’s happened to us than the moon?

SIMPSONBORT t1_je82c7m wrote

We’d be out of focus for the earth. We’re too close to the surface. The moon has good perspective.

Moon out there being 2 Jupiter diameters away peering through its moonocle like, “heh? What’s going on over there”

ftminsc t1_je85yw9 wrote

Okay, that checks out. I always have trouble seeing things that are a few feet away but when they're 238,900 miles away it's like it's in 4K.

That is just false, you literally could fit all of the planets of the solar system in the space between the earth and the moon. We are not close.

We all know the moon isn't made of green cheese, but what if it was made of BBQ spare ribs?

Would you eat it then?

Heck I'm curious like a cat. I have a couple of friends that call me whiskers.

If the moon "saw" a lot, imagine what the sun did in 4 billions of years.

bigedthebad t1_je81nl5 wrote

I don't think the moon has eyes or cares about anything we do. It also can only see one side, half the world is hidden from it at all times so half of human history is hidden as well.

The hell planet are you living on that the moon's constantly in your presence? What sorta Majora's Mask faffery is this?

Frequently, it is on the other side of the Earth, so people can do stuff in privacy.

YouMakeMeDrink t1_je84gv6 wrote

First of all, the moon doesn’t “see” anything. Second, it isn’t even visible at all times of the day in every area of the world, so if it could see, then there are still things happening on the other side of the world that is couldn’t “see”. Third, it can’t “see” what I’m doing when I’m in my house. Fourth, how fucking high are you right now? Fifth, don’t smoke in the shower.

I feel like this obvious post was only made to convey the word "Womankind"

Nah. Just thought it was interesting. But guess not. Lol

Just replace "mankind/womankind" with humanity. Don't make your phrases sound stupid.

There is a secret alien base on the moon from which they are observing us like in a zoo
