@bhnso probably they think it's immature and childish because that's how kids books often are, and they sometimes give away what's going to happen in a not so subtle way.

@Jaquento @thehorizon2b2t most counter intuitive thing - if you fall from a tall building vs a tree, you're falling slightly faster right out of the tree because you're closer to the center of the earth.
English
@thehorizon2b2t In the one hand, bigger planets usually do have more gravity, but the surface is also further away from the center.
And then we have to ask about the planet's material composition.
What I am saying is, is that there is no straight answer the question.
English
curious would it be like physically impossible for any intelligent species living on kepler to launch a rocket into space? like its already barely possible to launch a rocket from earth so I imagine if gravity was just a little larger you'd be kinda fucked
Jaia@Jaiathalien
Earth 2.0 exists it’s called kepler-452b and it’s 1.5 billion years older than our sun meaning it has been potentially hosting life before our planet existed

@CornIndividual @DrPepperMD @Grey_Athena eh, the rest of the south has a very common theme. south florida just doesn't fit it. you could say that about every regional area. like people from the actual Midwest, and people that really, really want everyone to know they're from the Midwest, but it's really just Minnesota.
English
@KurtEClothier @DrPepperMD @Grey_Athena I think this logic leads to the South Not Actually Existing because every place is different.
English
"Richmond, Virginia is not Southern" and other statements dreamed up by the insane
Chief Revilo@Chiefslangnbeef
They got pretty darn close with this one Imho
English
@CornIndividual @DrPepperMD @Grey_Athena not like south florida. it's a whole different place with it's own vibe - definitely deserving of a unique label. They drained the swamps to build resort cities.
English
@KurtEClothier @DrPepperMD @Grey_Athena As opposed to the rest of the South, famously having no old people, alligators, tourists, and Latinos.
English
@samacoree (not a gym bro, just some guy)
a jumbo egg is about 8g. normal eggs are only 6g. 3 slices of bacon adds 12g. an oz of cheddar cheese is another 9g. a glass of milk is 8g. nickle and dime it.
or have a couple of eggs with a cheeseburger! no shame. be happy and eat what you want!
English
@CornIndividual @DrPepperMD @Grey_Athena weird that it's greyed out, but south Florida is definitely not "the south." ... it's old people, alligators, tourists, and Latinos.
English
@DrPepperMD @Grey_Athena And South Florida doesn't even get "Not the South." It's just greyed out like the Yankee states are.
English
@Grey_Athena as someone living in NOVA, yeah, that sounds about right.

I'd put the border at the Rappahannock as a seasoned I-95 traveler, born in TN and raised in NC but now living in DC

@justme172548 @KurtEClothier @soulightseekX My fingers can do both without pain or strain you two must have absolutely shit hands
English
@soulightseekX U cant lift your ring finger withoit the pinky and it hurts to hold down

@Iamconfuuzed @VoidNothin253 @AcountyM80555 @0nthewr0ngway @EsteemSeeker77 woh, everybody, look out. here comes Matt from the UK. our expert on American culture and etymology
English
English
american english compared to british english is just less specific to me. like a certain type of jumper is a sweater, but not all of them. a certain type of biscuit is a cookie, but not all of them. a certain type of chips are fries, but not all of them, do you get what I mean?
English
@jolteonbeast @justme172548 @soulightseekX which one? at this point I don't even know what anyone is talking about any more.
English
English
@koalakitch @0nthewr0ngway @EsteemSeeker77 the history of that term is so goofy and all over the place.
English
@KurtEClothier @0nthewr0ngway @EsteemSeeker77 What makes all the other types "French fried" anyway? 🤣
English
@Another_Jme @Clownie_Boo @ZixSerro @axiochrono so cool of you to equate an entire nation of people to sewage.
English
@KurtEClothier @Clownie_Boo @ZixSerro @axiochrono Yeah but your states are populated with Seppos, our states are populated with people.
English
There are several Americans in my replies who seem to earnestly believe they are the only country in the world that is both large and made up of individual states.
Axio 🔶@axiochrono
@nocontextmemes This can be seen in the way they talk about themselves too. You ask an American where they're from and they'll always name their city or state. I'll never understand it. I don't tell people I'm from Berkshire when I'm on holiday.
English
@rusyator2 @justme172548 @soulightseekX they share a tendon, so it makes sense. and we don't use those fingers for pinching and grabbing, so the muscles are usually the weakest. I had to do a lot of excess hand exercises for piano when I was younger. when I say it hurts, I mean muscle strain. I can hold them down.
English
@justme172548 @KurtEClothier @soulightseekX I have no problems with my left hand, but on my right hand, these two fingers move together. I don't know why
English
this dude works for X and still calls it tweeting. lol.
it will always be twitter.
Nikita Bier@nikitabier
@NateSilver538 Can you stop quote tweeting without the context? It’s intellectually dishonest.
English
@KurtEClothier @litttiichokha If you knew anything about early Cinema, you would know almost nothing has changed
English
@kunktation maybe he means he stacked them up so he could stand on them to reach his favorite toy on the top shelf. or he stores them all in the basement because they're scary.
so they are literally below him.
English
A literate person would of course say "beneath" not "below"
Andrew Tate@Cobratate
Books are below me.
English
@Eyebbot @Bay_Area_Frank @MerriamWebster easy tiger, "Luna" is just the Latin term for Moon.
the official, accepted IAU name for it (in English) is the Moon.
English
‘Moon’ is capitalized when referring to Earth’s Moon.
It’s lowercase when you’re referring to other moons, or the verb.
<peach emoji>
English
@Bay_Area_Frank @MerriamWebster if it makes you feel better, all other moons were named after ours.
English
@MerriamWebster Pretty sad that we have no real name for our moon. Every dust grain flying around in space has got a name, but our moon is just the Moon. 😑
English
@doxie_gay you have to say that you are disappointed they don't take their jobs seriously enough as to return to the office to work through the night after dinner.
English
@manfromdelaware @crunchyrugger like I told my wife, I'd rather have a decade of democrats doing nothing, whining that they can't get anything done even with their majority then these clowns getting whatever they want done even when it's illegal.
English
midterms midterms midterms. I know that answer is not exciting or immediate enough for many of you, but it is the answer whether you like it or not
Matty@bestestname
This is a serious question: there are more of us than there are of them. How do we make this stop? General strikes?
