CSB3: Riceburner Excited To Announce His New Prince Albert After Paying $3 To Jay For The Procedure

Earthquakes aren't real

Jay

I don't get it

 

[riceburner]

Earthquakes are 'shopped

 

[JC_451]

Yeah, guess it wasn't real afterall.

I was just being sensitive like @mrmatto

 

[Strange Mud]

did you buy a new car?

 

[Pineapple]

Haven't heard that one being a wi thing but I feel your pain. Dude at my work says "mathatoothetts" and it makes my whole body cringe every time I hear it

How do flat earth people explain eclipses?

 

[Strange Mud]

poorly?

According to NASA, the Earth rotates at roughly 1,670 kilometers per hour at the equator.

And yet, I get in trouble for driving a tenth of that... Fuckin' hypocrites.

Wknd:

Finish electrical job
Date with Mrs Mud (classical concert, cool antique/thrift shop, burger on way home?) with a Comet ride

All are hopefully things

i noticed last year that its a total lucky anomaly that the size of the moon relative to the sun just happens to be perfect, by sheer luck. its doesn't need to be this way. Like, it could be a smaller moon, a closer moon, etc, we could be closer or further from the sun. the moon has continually shifted away from us over the last few billion years, so there haven't always been total eclipses. therefore, its just baffling how for this brief period of time that happens to be during sentient human existence the relative sizes are perfect, and this is underappreciated.

Confirms we're living in a simulation.

Totally agreed! I saw the total eclipse in 2017 and I was SO glad I did. It's such a unique and incredible experience itself, plus all the interesting scientific things you can observe leading up to it. Highly recommended.

I mean, yes and no. Kinda.

The moon is shifting away from the earth, at about 1" per year or so. So even if you go back, say, 2.5 billion years, the moon was only 40 miles closer to the earth. Which when you're talking about a celestial body almost 2,200 miles across, almost 240,000 miles away from earth, that 40 mile difference over 2.5 billion years wouldn't really be perceivable to the naked human eye.

So yeah. There still were total eclipses billions of years ago.

Now, size proportionate to the distance of each, making them appear similar sizes.... Yeah, that's an awe.
