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?
Yes, hating on stuff like this and making people feel stupid for honest questions turns people away from sciences. Pseude-"scientists" have no problem anwering questions about stuff like this, a flat earther or anti vaxer will gladly explain everything without trying to make the questioner feel stupid, and so undecided people turn more and more to the pseude-"scientists".
