No... You're not digging the hole on the moon. You're digging a hole on Earth during a full moon!

No, the reason is all the literal frickers who don't recognize that the deliberate misspelling is an insult multiplier and feel the need to "correct" it.

But the little space demons who hide the moon when it is 'new' take some of the dirt to put in their 'moon screen'.

I'm still trying to figure out how you and your friends are all digging holes on the moon!

They are correct. But, it has more to do with the void ratio of the disturbed soil than the full moon.

If you dug a hole on a full moon wouldn't it no longer be a full moon?

It is absolutely true! For the same reason you will have a higher tide on a full moon than a new moon. Gravitational pull.

This is correct, but for reasons unrelated to gravitational pull.

Your inability to fill the hole completely on a new moon is because the moon provides less light than it would on a full moon.

So as you shovel dirt back into the hole, you end up missing because you can't see the hole. You'll find the the majority of holes to be only about 89% filled during a new moon.

You're welcome.
