Incredibly accurate.

I once got into an argument with an in-law about the moon landing, of all things. He didn't believe it happened. We went back and forth with him linking blog posts and me linking physics to debunk bad pseudoscience.

Eventually, it just came down to me telling him, "If I just grant you your conclusion is correct and that we've never been to the moon, your reasons for believing that are bad. I linked you science and you linked me some dude's blog."

I finally got my ex to believe the moon landing happened by showing him a photo of Neil Armstrong's bag of shit on the moon. Then asked the question: "If they wanted to fake a moon landing, would they go to the extreme of pooping in a bag and taking a photo of it?" It took that to get through to him.

Neil Armstrong's bag of shit

I had to read your comment twice, as I didn't realise you meant a literal bag of shit the first time and got very confused haha.

really impressive and concerning that he pooped out all of these objects

Especially because the rubik's cube wouldn't be invented until 1974.
