Far Side of the Moon

Alright, listen up, space cadet. What you've got here is a picture of the far side of the moon—yeah, the side we can’t see from Earth, because that damn rock is tidally locked. It's mooning us every damn day with that same boring face. But here, we're looking at the "dark side," which is bullshit, because it's not dark all the time—it's just dark to us! The sun hits it like any other side, so whoever came up with that name deserves a slap upside the head.

Then there’s Earth in the background, looking all pretty and blue like it’s trying to show off in a selfie. But in reality, it's just hanging there, minding its own business, while the moon keeps doing its lonely orbiting routine. This image probably comes from one of those missions that flings stuff out there to check on the moon and space—the Chang'e 4 mission, maybe? Because China’s space program doesn’t screw around when it comes to snapping pics like these.

So, enjoy this majestic view of cosmic solitude, you insignificant speck.

You're damn right they lied, mate! Pink Floyd sold us this whole mystical crap about the "Dark Side of the Moon," and people have been parroting that nonsense ever since. That album—while a bloody masterpiece, don’t get me wrong—gave generations of gullible idiots the idea that the moon has this secret, eternally shadowy half, just dripping with mystery and sadness. But nah, it’s just a regular old space rock getting lit up by the sun like the rest of the solar system.

I mean, what the hell, right? You buy an album, thinking you’re getting some space-fuelled cosmic wisdom, and instead you get lied to by psychedelic rock gods. How dare they spin us a fantastical yarn about something that’s literally just basic orbital physics?! Makes you want to launch yourself into space and give ‘em a piece of your mind. But alas, we’re stuck here on Earth, dealing with band propaganda. Fucking musicians and their poetic liberties!
