I don’t trust the liberal science agenda so I did my own research. Using some back-of-the-napkin math and my telescope, I’m now blind from looking at the sun through a telescope. This is being transcribed by my trad wife. My results:
2 > 1
This one checks out, folks.
You must be a terrorist because that’s MUSLIM MATH! Those are not Christian numbers and feel it necessary to report this comment to the FBI, the Federal Biblical Investigators.
Al-Gebra
What, you don’t believe in the Nemesis hypothesis?
Because that would bring it up to… hang on, let me get my calculator…
Two stars in the solar system.
Fascinating proposal, professor. Thankfully I can adjust my equations quite easily:
2 ≥ 2
Thank you for your service.
You only see the bright white light kind of star?
That’s racist.
As someone who worked in a gas station for 24 years…
sigh
I’d do it. I’d suck it up. I’d make some damn good friends along the way and then I’d never maintain those friendships and feel guilty for the rest of rest of my life. “Just call him dipshit. He’s going through a divorce! Just go fishing! Pleaaassse! Ok, here goes. Tomorrow.”
This is one of the most fascinating comments I’ve ever encountered on Lemmy
Wut?
I have no idea how I ended up here. Swear to god I was on the post about the trolley, saving people, and small talk. No shit. Never even seen this post.
And now I’ve posted it in the correct location.
You got me. Had to whatever the thought equivalent of double take is.
Doubleponder.
In Paris they have the metric
Paris you can buy a beer and McDonald’s, you know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese? They don’t call it a quarter pounder with cheese, and again the metric system, what do they call it they call it a Royale".
The Quarter Pounder is sold under different names in countries that don’t use the pound as a unit of weight. In France, Belgium, Croatia, and Cyprus, it’s called the Royal Cheese. The reasoning behind this is that they use the metric system so they wouldn’t know what a “quarter pounder” is.
If i had fallen for it, i would have had a quarter ponder :)
Had yourself a thinkythink
The term you’re looking for is doublethink.
On an unrelated note: 2+2=5
Not if you count Taylor Swift
Is the joke that there is only one star in our solar system? The sun?
…and only 2 hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water (H2O)
I was sure of the 2 H atoms but wasn’t sure if the sun was the only star. Thanks for the clarification.
Second time i see this, still funny :)
Made me think for a second.
I just saw that series recently. What a wonderful show.
It really is a wonderful show. I watched it again recently because it’s that time of year, so this was on my mind. 😁
Me mum can sing the potato and molasses song
It’s true
Which solar system?
And this prove what exactly…??
That there are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are s’s in your entire comment.
Once again, 2 > 1 holds true.
Thank fuck. I was worried for a second.
that stars don’t have hydrogen atoms
There is more than one hydrogen atom in a glass of water.
Jupiter and Saturn are brown dwarves, and fit many definitions of “star”.
They are both large enough to have developed a hydrogen plasma core furnace that dissolves the rock and ice that was once their core. They are more than just a hydrogen atmosphere, down to the core they’re a big ball of plasma undergoing all of the same physics as stellar tissue, except the pressure at the center isn’t enough to ignite fusion.
Uranus and Neptune, meanwhile, are likely too small for this, and maintain a fluid ice layer and rocky core beneath their hydrogen envelopes. There is not enough hydrogen for it to take over these worlds. Therefore, they are planets, not brown dwarf stars.
Jupiter and Saturn, however, have grown large enough for the hydrogen to have turned to plasma and dissolved and supplanted their cores with a plasma furnace.
The solar system has three stars. We are not too early to explore other star systems. We know of many planets around Jupiter and Saturn. The extraterrestrial planet with most earth-like atmosphere and surface geology that we know of is Titan, and it’s in our neighboring (sub) star system. Huygens and Juice and Europa Clipper and Dragonfly are humanity’s first missions to planets around other stars.
Jupiter and Saturn are not brown dwarves.
dated 1997
Here they are on Wikipedia’s list of Y-class brown dwarves.
Jupiter and Saturn are in fact brown dwarves.
Stellar classes are OBAFGKMLTY, from most to least massive.
i already knew the sun was a star, but know i know the other stars are just a wallpaper.

Oh fuck… It’s so stupid it’s smart.
