Can confirm. When I look up all I see is a single star and it hurts my eyes real bad when I look at it.

Hey guys, look at this big dumb dumb. He's never seen the moon before! There's obviously two stars in the sky

But the moon and the sun can't be in the sky at the same time. Otherwise it would be night time in the day!

Actually, if it's a new moon, they can.

I wish people would stop pretending like we live on a ball orbiting a star. We live on a disc, and Australia is on the tails side, and we each have a star, like a sexy flaming-ball-of-gas Sandwich..
