I would hope the whole thing is a joke in general.
“The sun gives us light when it’s ‘already’ bright” is where the real logic breaks down. “I don’t need <thing> because I already have <benefit from thing>” is circular logic.
So of course we wouldn’t have sunlight at night without the sun. but we also wouldn’t have sunlight at night without the moon.
Whether we want to call it “more useful” than the sun… it is just as useful as the sun at night. We need both of them for the system to work. I was just trying to snarkily emphasize that we shouldn’t downplay the moon because it is “just” reflecting sunlight.
And where does the light come from?
Teamwork!
Nuclear fusion is the ultimate example of teamwork
Hydrogen

Yeah but I could just put a big mirror up there and it would be better
You could put a big flashlight up in place of the sun and it would be better, or something. I dunno lol
