A matter of perspective...

I gotta admit though that it's a pretty awesome coincidence that the moon is the size and at a distance that makes it look approximately the same size as the sun and allows us to have amazing looking eclipses.

But the moon is slowly drifting away from the Earth so it will not be true in the relatively near future.
- In 500-650 million years

- And the sun is expanding, too.
  
  May take a while but if you look closely you will notice. Just wait.
How many centuries of science progress do you think we lost with this “awesome coincidence”?

A bigger or smaller moon in the sky would have probably made the mechanism of the solar system a little more obvious for sure.
- I'm guessing basically 0 years, honestly. Both are visible in the sky at the same time, so I'm not really sure what being different sizes would clarify.
- we have gained from this awesome coincidence. A solar eclipse was used to prove einstein's theories the first time. This coincidence was exactly what they needed to observe the stars which appear very close to the sun, without the sun's light washing them out, and measure how much their light was bent by the sun's mass. Too big or too small and it would have taken much longer to prove.
Only for this specific eclipse. Sometimes the moon is closer, so it completely shrouds the sun and we get to see the ghosty heliosphere of illuminated gasses. Other timed the sun is smaller and we get a ring of fire. Curiously sometimes Mercury gets in the way, but it's so far away, and so close to the sun it appears as a tiny black dot.

But the earth (and most of the solar system) is so tiny it barely exists. Jupiter retains a tiny bit of mass, to the sun, we are microbial. We humans are fleas on fleas.

Pretty sure the sun is way more than seven times brighter than the moon

Edit: after a quick internet search, the sun looks to be about 400,000 times brighter than the moon

That might be, but the moon is more important, since it shines at night when it's dark. The sun is only in the sky during the day, when there's plenty of light anyway.
- during the day, when there's plenty of light anyway
  
  b- because of the sun, no? or is that the joke i'm missing lol
Technically, TECHNICALLY, the Sun is infinitely brighter than the Moon since it emits no light at all ☝️
- eh, as a videographer who measures and labels the output of lights professionally sometimes, we count bounced lights as lights.
- Technically, TECHNICALLY, TECHNICALLY, moon absorbs a lot of the incoming sunlight and a lot of the light from the moon is black body radiation instead of straight reflection. Moon does emit light.
- Not infinite, the moon has a temperature.
The moon has an albedo of roughly 6% and is so small compared to the sun. So yep 400,000 times checks out

It’s not the burgers fault. That’s just a really small car.

I would say, this one is normal sized. It's the other cars which... aren't.

But this is a tiny burger for sure.
- Well I think the car is half full!

I mean, it's possible if the burger is American. Unless the car is also American.

They could actually be one in the same:

The burger is bigger than the moon and the sun.

But is it as big as Uranus?
- That name doesn't make sense since planets are named after the Roman gods. Please call it Caelus
- Myanus or Uranus?
The equal apparent size is a curious astrological coincidence. What are the odds that the sun, the moon, and my hamburger would all neatly overlap like that?
- I wish I could eat the sun, though. I'm sure the taste is fire.

Somebody slap an ifunny.com metadata on it!
Anyway, if that was really shot on a 25mm, then it's cropped massively, rendering the metric useless anyway.

I forget some people went to the Rocket The Raccoon school of perception.

"Come on, Ted. Sure it's no more peculiar than all that stuff we learned in the seminary, you know, Heaven and Hell and everlasting life and all that type of thing. You're not meant to take it seriously, Ted!"
- I read that in Dougal's voice.

I agree with who made the meme. Their angular size is the same.

These cows are small...

That's a bun. If it was a burger, you're doing burgers wrong. 😊

Lol another "wtf" from the bible.

Not exactly, book of Enoch is not part of the Bible, it's an Ethiopian thing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Enoch

None of the three books are considered to be canonical scripture by the majority of Jewish or Christian church bodies.
- So you are saying the inerrant eternal word of God is determined by current popular opinion?
- There are lots of non-Ethiopian Christians who don't really know anything about the Bible and accept quotes from the Book of Enoch as if it were part of the mainstream Christian canon. Keep the faithful ignorant and that's what you get.
- Haha Oh.

insert small, far away father Ted clip

That’s just a muffin not a burger.

I don't know how they make muffins where you live, but they make them wrong.
- In the UK we would call it one of the following depending where you live.
  
  Muffin
  
  Bread roll
  
  Barm cake
  
  Cob
  
  Bun
  
  Bap
  
  If I dared to travel 15 minutes in any direction and use the wrong word they would be sure to say do you mean X. Even though they know exactly what I mean.
