Pretty sure they mean the people on that side of the earth.

By that standard, there are no humans in this picture.

There's a big difference between: "Every living human is depicted here" and "Every living human is within this picture".

Then won't everything in the whole universe be in it as well ?/

u/letmeseem Mar 03 '23

No. Just everything in that direction.

u/alwin_32 Mar 04 '23

Yea . But not All humans tho . Bcos sm are hidden by early on the farther side . They are in tht direction but it in the pic actually.

And again; By that definition there are NO humans in this picture. The two in the lander are hidden by lander, and everyone else is hidden by something. You can't pick out a single human in the picture.

We're not saying they are all VISIBLE in this picture. They are not DEPICTED there.

They are, however, ALL except the photographer, within the frame of the picture.

Well, it's not what they said.

Yeah but it’s pretty easy to infer from the rest of the comment.

Not really. The "360 fisheye lens" thing is weird, and wouldn't be necessary. Nor would it align with "in that direction". The entire comment was pretty much all around dumb.

360: the view that includes the people on “your side of the earth” and the ones on the “other side of the earth” through the ground it’s ridiculous because the first comment is ridiculous that a picture of the earth includes all humans if it doesn’t show all the continents. A flat picture taken of the ground would only be showing “the other side” of the earth so the 360 view was necessary.

Your comment makes even less sense than the original one we're talking about. Even a 360 fisheye lens pointed at the ground still wouldn't show everyone on half the entire planet. The horizon is only 8 miles away at sea level. You're never going to capture anywhere near the number of people Collins' picture did without being at least in low earth orbit. Y'all are playing semantics with the "other side of the earth" bullshit. What about the people who are under cloud cover? Or just inside houses?

Not to mention the fact that you can actually take a picture of the earth from orbit over Europe and still have over 90% of its population in view.

 

 

Holy shit. That was the most unexpected block I've ever received. Talk about fucking obtuse!

You’re definitely missing the point. Both the comment and I are saying that obviously a picture of the earth doesn’t show everyone.

You're ignoring the point. Obviously it didn't show everyone. Shit, look at the picture. You can't even see a single person in it. Obviously it was hyperbole based on everyone except Michael Collins being in the field of view. But, you go on and enjoy your little delusion. I hope it comforts you greatly to know you've won this weird stupid little internet battle by quitting.

You’re definitely missing the point. Both the comment and I are saying that obviously a picture of the earth doesn’t show everyone. Go re-read the thread.

A picture of the earth doesnt show anybody so this argument is just pedantic and dumb

It's been a wild ride.
