Oh fuck... It's so stupid it's smart.

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.

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:

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.”

Always tomorrow.

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.

As God as my witness I thought turkeys could fly. We've all been there.

Turkeys can fly. Unless this is a reference to something, then carry on.

The term you're looking for is doublethink.

On an unrelated note: 2+2=5

Rhaedas@fedia.io · 52 pts · 1y

I love this because even though I read the words, I interpreted it to mean something else for a second. (atoms and galaxy) Be careful when you read things and don't assume you know something.

Is the joke that there is only one star in our solar system? The sun?

partial_accumen@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 1y (2 replies)

yes, ... and only 2 hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water (H2O)

hate2bme@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I was sure of the 2 H atoms but wasn't sure if the sun was the only star. Thanks for the clarification.

I just saw that series recently. What a wonderful show.

SerotoninSwells@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y (3 replies)

It really is a wonderful show. I watched it again recently because it's that time of year, so this was on my mind. 😁

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y (2 replies)

I had never seen it before, but I watched it all in one evening while my wife and daughter were out and then I watched it all again with them the next day because I knew they had to see it too, and it was just as good a day later.

SerotoninSwells@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

That's so nice to hear. Hopefully it becomes a yearly tradition to watch it.

We introduced it to our daughter this year. She was a little scared but enjoyed it nonetheless. I caught myself wishing there were more shows like it, but it's so unique and that's probably why I love it so much.

Did you even read that page you linked to? Right at the top, it says:

They are a mix of brown dwarfs and planetary-mass objects.

"Y dwarf stars" are not even a thing!

Neither brown dwarfs nor planetary-mass objects are stars.

Are you just a troll?

I wandered in here from computer science, and I’m going back to solving parallel cache coherency for a bit of light relief.

quantenzitrone@lemmings.world · 3 pts · 1y

It seems to be the agreed definition in Astrophysics, that in order for a stellar object to be called "Star" it has to have nuclear fusion. While a redefiniton would be possible, there is no need and it would just cause confusion.

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Literally none of those links talk about "Y dwarf stars."

Yep. You're just a troll.
