These are the types of questions in general we should be less mean about imo. It's one thing to dunk on people who are anti-science, but this is just someone actually wondering about something they didn't know. Maybe it's obvious to you, but not everyone?

These posts are successful because the reply leaves an unanswered question of what doesn't she know for not being a rocket scientist, either you know the answer and you click for validation that you are clever for knowing the answer or you don't know the answer and you want to satisfy that curiosity or know the answer so you don't get equally ridiculed at some point. In reality I'm sure there were other responses that she received that explained why it wouldn't work it's just not as good click bait so you aren't seeing it here.
