Consider this phrasing.

"... COULD not see the moon during the day."

What would be the reasons why the moon could not be seen during the day? That would necessitate a completely different makeup of the earth-moon-sun system. This would have even bigger repercussions on our existence on earth that the shifting of New Zealand, or South America.

So there might be "someone" (many people, I would assume) who do not remember seeing the moon during the day. Not remembering something is very common.
But to remember that it "could not be seen"... you would do have to to remember something: the reason why this would be imagined, but could be happening.

We remember a different reality

Or timeline
You don't. The physical differences would be indescribably massive, but all you offer is "it looked different on a map".

Get over yourself. You, like the rest of humanity, have a less than perfect memory.

No, you don't. Again you only demonstrate your inability to engage with others. Your inability to see reality as interconnected.

There is something like "consequences". A "different reality" cannot be limited to tidbits, especially when it comes to stuff like "the moon could not be seen in daytime". This isn't a difference like the spelling of words... it has massive repercussions on the way the world functions.

And for some reason, you never seem to "remember" these changes that would go hand in hand with your "different realities".

New Zealand was north east of Australia
That is a random piece of trivia. We have been over this before.

These things have consequences. You "remember" New Zealand being in a different place. Other people "remember" that.
But none of those - you included - "remembers" New Zealand being tropical to sub-tropical, instead of sub-tropical to cool. None of those who remember that "the moon could not be seen in the day" also "remembers" that they never saw moon-phases.

They do not…
They... don't? Then how does this "could not" work? That requires some sort of mechanism. And consequences from these mechanisms.

Look up "why can we see the moon during the day?" You will get a explanation, using the existing mechanisms of our solar system. The only way for the "result" (moon visible during daytime) not happening would be if these mechanisms were different.

But if they were different... ALL the consequences would be different. You can't just change one and have all the others stay the same.
