Or behind cloud cover.
Mysterious as the dark side of…. The EAAARRRTTHHH
Good point. The moon would only be caught up every 12 hours. It’s like a tv show. Easy to catch up.
OP making the classic mistake of coming back to the comments backpedaling
Not really. Just chatting.
Get back in the shower and rethink why you felt the need to add “/womankind”
ikr
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 ?
"humanity"
Huwomanity
Huwowomanity. Oh no, the recursion.
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.
Okay but why is it a problem to use womankind?
Because it’s a different word with a different meaning.
Though the may sound similar, they have different etymology and different meaning.
Not a problem but it’s similar to that guy saying Amen and Awomen
The meaning of mankind: "human beings considered collectively; the human race."
Anyone who argues against it, feminist or not, is an idiot.
Mankind doesn't mean males.
The word ‘man’ can be used for all humans, which is why we have words like mankind and not womankind
Don't be silly Grommit, the moon can't see a thing
its made of cheese
What’s wrong with Wensleydale?
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
... 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?
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”
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.
Exactly.
"The moon has good perspective."
Yep, certified 20/20 vision.
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?
Yes
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.
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.
We’ll, it might care. Oh right, no eyes or brain!
The hell planet are you living on that the moon's constantly in your presence? What sorta Majora's Mask faffery is this?
The moon in majora’s mask used to freak the hell. outa me. What a great game.

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

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
Are you under pressure from the feminists of this generation?
Nope Just didn’t want to be disrespectful.
disrespectful towards the feminists of this generation*

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
