I love how you make it sound like the moon landing happened after LOTR.

[–] gavran@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

If you subscribe to the notion that Middle Earth is our world, it did!

um lotr was published in the 50s and the moon landing was in the 60s my dudes

[–] gavran@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

I miss old school trolling. Shine on, you crazy diamond.

It did though? The Lord of the Rings was written in the 1930s and 1940's, the moon landings took place in 1969-1972.

They just said "Trilogy," so it's unclear if they meant the movies or books. But video calls were definitely after the moon landing, as was gay marriage in the UK being legalized.

The first two-way video call was demonstrated in 1930.

And the first message sent over the internet was in 1969. They're clearly referring to when it became easily accessible to the masses.

When have you been to the moon?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

"The moon landing" refers to a televised event.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

and the moon has been there a lot longer than 1960s

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Not much, though, geologically speaking.

[–] JacksonLamb@lemmy.world 0 points 4 weeks ago

Good point. I assumed they meant the films because the books were not any kind of technogical innovation.
