  Nah, we all know the Great Pyramids were part of the “Giza Mass Autism Array” fired during the Finno-Korean Hyperwar. RIP Finnish social skills

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the Hamas/Israel war, why does Palestine have "hostages" but Israel has "prisoners"?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is clearly a rhetorical question, OP just wants people to repeat back to them things they already agree with instead of real answers. I may despise Israel’s cruel treatment of West Bank Palestinians as much as the next guy, but at least the prisoners have (albeit only very slightly) better conditions than hostages whose lives could be immediately ended on a whim without due process if it pleases their captors. And many of the hostages aren’t even Israeli

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would life be like if we had 2 moons? With 2 different lunar cycles, how would we tell which time of the year it is without months?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  True, it takes 28 days for the moon to orbit us and yet only one of our months is actually 28 days long (and even then it’s 29 if the year’s a multiple of 4). Every other month is either 30 or 31 days long.

  If only Rosalind had found it out this way, instead of all that radiation giving her cancer

  Nuclear threats against enemy countries have been overused so much by Ruzzia being a tough-guy and more recently by Iran and Israel that they are now meaningless. Whenever someone fears that WW3 will start, I remind them of that fact.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More like guidelines⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It was invented by some scottish guy long before we had the means to measure things that would need it, and ever since that multibillion-dollar satellite thing fell to pieces even American scientists use metric units, we learn them in every grade level’s science class and our scientific community has this understandable atmosphere of regret that Congress was too lazy to completely kill off imperial units when they had the chance

  Isn’t Rankine the Kelvin of Fahrenheit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨o(╥﹏╥)o⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What if there was once a sentient civilization tens of millions of years before us, but then it either destroyed itself at some point (leaving behind what are now our uranium deposits) or was wiped out by a flood basalt or something? What if the feared “bad ending” for humanity a la a nuclear war is the only civilization apocalypse that has already happened?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baby how cold is it oitside?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Kelvin mostly seems to be used to measure really hot (like ovens, metal forges, stars) or really cold (e.g. planets beyond Mars) things, Fahrenheit still exists only because the US Congress was lazy (though as an American I do find it somewhat useful for comparing weather and Earth’s climate zones in finer detail than just -1 in winter and 28 in summer), and I’ve never heard of that last one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bro pls⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah I see, I should’ve worded that paragraph better

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bro pls⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. I hear NASA and India are planning to send 3d-printer robots to lava caves to seal them off, cover/get rid of all moon dust and build permanent bases there (but as of now the priority seems to be researching the polar water-ice and using moon rocks to study what the early solar system’s geology was like)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bro pls⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The Moon’s daytime is half a month long and can reach 120 C so we’d need some pretty powerful heat shielding. And there’s no ozone layer to protect the electronics from radiation, and I’m pretty sure the Moon orbits outside of Earth’s magnetosphere. And the shielding used for such a project could also be used to fix climate change here (and terraform Venus later) with orbital parasols

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bro pls⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope we can build one that can use hydrogen fusion like the sun; such an energy source would make an excellent power source, even if small

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would life be like if we had 2 moons? With 2 different lunar cycles, how would we tell which time of the year it is without months?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps we’d have entirely solar-based calendars with four month-like divisions for the seasons, based on the angle of shadows cast by the Sun (I hear the Mayans had these huge dial things that just counted from 1 to 365) and leap days added onto one season every few years.

  The second part I knew, but the first part I did not. Rest assured, I never let this happen, my parents always made sure I knew not to look at the sun

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Military Time vs 24hr?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Our country is so big and heavily populated that you’ll rarely encounter someone from a country that uses the 24 hour system. Canada uses the 12-hour clock, and I think Mexico does (but I’m not sure, in all my spanish classes they taught us to say “son las ocho y media en la noche” for 8:30 PM, instead of “veinte y media horas” as I was taught when I studied in Spain for a semester)
