    man I don't want to go to space. I can barely deal with how big the ocean is

    The ocean scares me much more then space. The ocean just terrifies me.

    The ocean's small enough(!) to be accessible mentally; we're just not built to wrap our heads around things that can be measured in light-seconds or AUs.

    (Also, we know for certain the ocean has carnivores much, much bigger than us. That probably doesn't help.)

    Actually when you think about it, the ocean at its deepest gets deeper than, say, the United States are wide. That is terrifyingly deep.

    Now cube that for three dimensions.

    Trust me, there are very few people on Earth who truly grasp just how much ocean there is.

    How can that possibly be true? The U.S. is like a two thousand miles across? Maybe I am misunderstanding you...

    The Mariana Trench is like 2,550 KM deep bro.

    No, no it's not.

    When it gets about 90 degrees outside my air conditioner stops working.

    We can put a man on the moon but we can't make a better air conditioner.

    I posit that the air conditioner is the greatest invention of humanity

    To be fair it's an old 80s model air conditioner.

    I need a new unit but that shit is expensive.

    there seems to be a fundamental lack of knowledge about the Earth's size going on here

    the fact that someone could read "2000 km deep" and think "yeah that seems reasonable" is like one step removed from thinking the earth is flat

    Porno is just pictures of two (or more) people bumping uglies.

    Air conditioning is vastly superior.

  • -Tal-Tal Registered User regular
    notice how all the best stuff started being invented after the invention of the modern air conditioner

    you think they could have landed on the moon if that base wasn't exquisitely air conditioned

    Earth's size: Really fucking large.

    It's hot get off my back maaaaannnn.

    Also I only know the circumference of the earth not it's diameter.

    did you know lake baikal is more than a mile deep?

    and then below that is like ... 27 000 miles of mud

    see exactly

    Uriel was wrong because it's hot and his air conditioner is shit

    porno is much more enjoyable when the room is nice and cool

    PNk1Ml4.png
  • TallahasseerielTallahasseeriel Registered User regular
    And don't go telling me the formula to figure the diameter using the circumference.

    I can't do maths.

  • KilroyKilroy timaeusTestified Registered User regular
    Divide the circumference by 3

    You now know a rough approximation of its diameter

  • -Tal-Tal Registered User regular
    Earth's diameter is only ~7900 miles

    but I mean, you weren't the only person doing it, SimBen thought the same thing

    thinking that the Earth has effectively infinite depth seems to be a common problem!

    I about cried when I heard this, and I don't usually do that for celebrity deaths. It's just that it feels like, in losing Neil Armstrong, we've lost something more than just an amazing person. He (and everyone else who's gone to space, but especially him) was like a living example of why you shouldn't take the path of least resistance through your life.

    Neil Armstrong only lived about 16 miles away from me. I wonder if there will be anything local for him.

    Being better than Captain Kirk isn't saying much.

    Now if you tried to say you were better than Captain Picard I would choke you until you died.

    It's easy to be better than Picard.

    Just have hair.

    Bam, right there, now you're better than Picard.
