That's the thing - in space, orbits don't decay. Orbital decay only happens if there's dust or atmosphere that you bump into along your orbit to slow you down. But in interplanetary space, there's no dust or atmosphere, and certainly not enough to decay your orbit fast enough to achieve results (otherwise, the Earth would have already decayed and melted in the Sun)

You need to spend fuel to lower your orbit to hit the Sun, and you need to spend fuel to raise your orbit to escape the solar system. It turns out to be really freaking difficult to hit the sun because it simply requires so much fuel to lower your orbit enough to hit the Sun.

Describing my job? Yeah, sure. I do science.

Explaining my job? Hell no. Nobody is willing to read a 20 page lit review to start to understand the background of what I do

It's implied that in the process of trying to warn people about covid, she inadvertently caused 9/11

Fun fact: someone actually did it

If there was something I give up on, it's gun control. For several reasons:

1. There's basically no gun control anyways so it's not like we're giving up something.
2. Compared to abortion rights (ie bodily autonomy) and climate change (ie existential crisis), not having gun control is the least bad. It's still pretty crucial, to be fair, but comparing to actual existential crises like the other 2, not having gun control doesn't seem that bad in comparison

A meme or post that has no deeper meaning. If you have to analyze it or think about it, you're already past a shitpost. The point of a shitpost is the stupidity of its superficial, useless, low-quality humor

It's possible to have a high-quality, high-effort shitpost, but it's rare, since by nature, high effort posts tend to also be meaningful. In my eyes, this is peak high effort shitpost

Probably inspired by Donkey Kong - Jungle or anything associated with jungles are just jazz now

It's a joke that every spider, no matter what it looks like, will eventually be called a brown recluse (usually by someone who doesn't know how to recognize a brown recluse)

No, you're right. It's mentioned in the Wikipedia article that lack of genetic diversity is a large concern for obligate parthenogenic animals

Technically not legal, but depending on the wording, there's a ton of gray area in what's considered warranty-covered damage and what's not warranty-covered damage. Companies absolutely take advantage of the gray area, even lying in some instances because they know that their users would rarely have the know-how to call them out on it and demand rightful warranty coverage. LTT's argument is that if there is such large legal gray area on the warranty, it is meaningless to provide one to begin with

A lobotomy with a rusty ice pick, at that. I don't know of any situation in which torture could ever be conceived by anyone as an appropriate response, yet here we are

I'm unsure what the game is supposed to be - is it just a collection of different versions of Tetris?
