A coworker of mine started falling down the YouTube conspiracy rabbit hole. He said something about the moon landing maybe being a hoax. I told him that when I was in college I used the big telescope to look at the moon landing site, so I knew for sure it was real. After that, he believed in the moon landing.
Now of course I was lying about seeing the moon landing site. Terrestrial telescopes can't see the landing site. I convinced my friend to believe the truth by countering a lie from a stranger with a lie from someone he trusts.
I upvoted this, and then I was like "wait a sec... are they fooling us?" and had to look up if you can't see the moon landing site from Earth.
Of course you can see the site, but indeed no telescope has enough resolving power to see any items left there. So I guess you didn't fool us this time.
