fucks me up that by total coincidence the sun and moon's size difference is exactly matched to their difference in distance from us, thus making our beautiful total solar eclipses where you can see the silver threads of the sun's corona possible because the moon just covers the sun completely

The stars (literally) aligned just right for this experience to be possible. It's likely that aliens don't have this

[uncivilliberties]

The moon is also absolutely gargantuan by moon standards. It isn't the largest moon in the solar system, but it is BY FAR the largest in comparison with its planet. Ganymede is the largest satellite of Jupiter and the largest moon in the solar system. Its diameter is only about 3.8% of Jupiter's. Titan's radius is 4.4% of Saturn's. Callisto and Io are the next largest in the neighborhood, with 3.4% and 2.6% the diameter of Jupiter respectively.

Our moon is number 5. It is smaller in direct comparison to the above moons. The diameter of the moon is 3475 km. That is a full 27% of the diameter of the Earth. More than a quarter. That's ridiculous. It's unheard of. The universe is large enough that the word unique probably doesn't mean a lot, but this might be about as close as you get.

This has had a huge impact on our planet. Other things aliens might not have are significant tides. One of Mars's dumpy little potatoes wouldn't be able to move oceans the way our moon does.

Our moon has also stabilized our axis to a massive degree. Without her up there our axis would wobble all over the place and our climate would be far more chaotic. Aliens might not be quite so lucky.

I guess what I am really trying to say is that the moon is extremely cool. I like the moon.

[willowdove]

Just want to add that the reason we have such a large moon is because a whole planet crashed into proto-Earth. Theia (the planet) and Earth got so superheated by this collision that their component cores fused and the impact jettisoned a lot of material into space. That massive amount of jettisoned material became our moon. So Earth and the moon have very similar composition. This does not seem to be a common method of lunar formation.

what if the answer to the fermi paradox is that life cant exist without a moon like luna

[habbadax]

I got a serious beef with the Fermi paradox. There is no Fermi paradox. There stopped being a Fermi paradox once the first radio telescopes went up, and we began to get a true sense of the sheer scale of the universe.

Space is big, empty, and loud. Sunspots can cause enough interference to affect global communications. We’re not even loud enough to talk over our own sun. On our own planet. We can barely communicate with Voyager, and we know exactly where it is and what its signal sounds like.

The Fermi paradox is like doubting the existence of Belfast, because you stood on a windy New York beach shouting towards it and didn’t get an answer.

i didn't realise we were drowned out by our own sun :(

My favourite little x men thing is when someone is like "Give up, Magneto! You stand no chance against this plastic weapon/gun/suit I have built!"

And Magneto is like "I see. Whatever will I do."

and throws the surrounding infrastructure at them.

I'm thrilled to report that not so long ago, he had his heart ripped straight from his body and kept going for hours by keeping his own blood inside his body and circulating it.

Honestly all the notes on this have been so good, here's a few of my favorites

[creatingblackcharacters]

i started calling out racists and Tumblr immediately started to recommend "Black fatigue" blogs, i CANNOT emphasize enough how much i hate it here

but there's really not a better social media environment nowadays for Black people??? these are the problems

You sent this back in JUST before the cut off time yesterday!

Yeah the co-opting of Black fatigue from "an existence that is exhausting due to the antiblackness one experiences on the daily" to "being tired of Black people" is one of the more sinister things racists ever stole and changed.

Like, the idea that you get to be sick of an entire race of people because you're tired of hearing them talk about how poorly they are treated, as if your annoyance is somehow worse than THE POOR TREATMENT ITSELF... Idk that's one of those things that if you said that to me I'd want to beat you up because what's wrong with you, you know?

And yeah 😅 Tumblr hates Black people just as much as any other app, unfortunately. People think queer and liberal somehow negates racism but uh... Naw! As long as antiblackness is a real thing socially offline, it will be a real thing on social media, because it's not a vacuum. I wish it were different.

The 3rd last part reminded me of this, I had to LOLZZZ

[homunculus-argument]

It's funny how differently people can talk about the same subjects while using the same words. I recall I once told my boyfriend, something along the lines of "if I don't have the time to wake up right before being expected to function, it's going to throw me off for the whole day", which I had learned as a kid by having family with no patience for people who wake up slowly. My sister is the type who snaps awake like flicking on a light switch, eyes flick open and she's 100% operational. And because of the way the household worked it was her job to make sure that I'm awake and up to get to school in time.

Just now my boyfriend asked me if it's enough proper waking time to be allowed to sit quietly with my caffeinated beverage for 30 minutes before getting dressed to go out and about.

My sister used to just toss the dog at me. The dog liked it, she was a terrier who could almost be tossed like a cat. Being semi-literally physically bodyslammed into consciousness by a 10 kg animal who always lands claws first and then immediately having to fight for my life wrestling that thing to keep her tongue out of my eyes, ears, and the inside of my mouth, before I could comprehend who, where, and why I am, was the way of getting woken up that threw me off the course for the whole day.

[the-dragonian]

ok. I'm sorry that terrifying way to wake up was how you were woken up, but I must say, from an outside perspective, having a dog literally thrown at you as an alarm clock is hilarious.

[homunculus-argument]

The dog fucking loved it.

My post about the racist AI got marked mature in literal seconds. Meanwhile the video of the near naked white guy has been up for twenty minutes, no mature marker yet!! Y'all thought I was exaggerating when I said I've seen videos of white men penises out and slanging not get marked on here, but if I put too much Brown on the screen it's Mature Label Time!!

The answer to "How did these Ancient People do this????" is basically always

1. A lot of dudes. Just a ton of fucking people from beginning to end of the process.

2. Ancient people weren't stupid, they just figured shit out the same way we do: fuck around until you find out.

3. We're gonna plan this out and it's gonna take ten fucking years, and you will cope.

4. Sticks and string are surprisingly versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes, like moving stuff and making sure things are even and go in the spot you wanted to put them in!

5. I want to make this easier and more efficient to move. If I put this on the round thing and push, it will move. If I put this in water, it will move. If I get some animals and rope and have a whole bunch of them drag it, it will move. All of these things are a better option than one guy trying to pick the whole fucking thing up.

[mankillercalledbunny]

"I'm not calling the people who believe in this conspiracy theory racist" I am. They're racist. Maybe not out of malice, but the fact that they believe in this is in itself racist. These conspiracies are always about brown people. Machu Pichu, the Pyramids, Göbekli Tepe, Easter Island, it is ALWAYS POC. It's never the Parthenon, it's never the Colliseum, despite the fact that these were built around the same time as some of the other sites these conspiracy chucklefucks like to throw around, it's never something fucking European. It's always "primitive people" with "stone tools" and "no understanding of modern engineering" so "clearly someone must have taught them this or given them the technology because CLEARLY they were just too Primitive and Savage to figure it out themselves." Fuck off with that shit.

that thing about horror movies feeling more real when the characters look like average people but about erotic art instead. sure you can draw a pin-up of a perfectly standard proportioned anime character but my brain is always gonna be like. well that's just a drawing. that's just pixels. but give them body hair and fat rolls and acne scars and stretch marks and and im like. 🫪 woah 🫪 that's a human 🫪 and they're naked 🫪

You listen to music regularly? Why? Have you even tried quitting? Could you quit? You get music stuck in your head? Wow. You're so ruined and music brained. I bet you make your partners listen to music with you when you have sex. Music addiction has really ruined a whole generation. You know it's not realistic to expect reverb in real life, right? You're probably so desensitized that you don't even feel anything anymore when you hear a bird singing that it wants some fuck.

[paradigm-adrift]

I don't have a problem with people listening to music per se, but I do have a problem with the music industry exploiting & mistreating artists.

Personally, I abstain from all music in order to keep my hands clean but really music should just be illegal outright to protect musicians from abuse.
