I worked at a fast food joint for a while and never heard of 86 referring to something being out. We never even used numbers as codes for anything in the first place and I don’t know why we would when everybody is working in such close quarters with one another.

Same, I block communities but have yet to block a person.

6,000 to 12,000 years old is what I heard. I’m guessing that this “Christians Against Science” page is a joke community that is making fun of YECs by saying it’s 4,000.

2,584 silver pennies – from the time of the Norman conquest, which has been valued at £4.3m

Mango juice is legitimately too sweet for me.

What does Nb mean?

Can somebody explain to me why it’s taking so long for Tate to get sentenced?

What’s the teapot a reference to?

Really? It seems like it’s 50/50 if I can even open a link I’ve searched up without it immediately demanding that I log in.

I did some quick maths and assuming a desk-top globe of 12 inches, and guessing that the spokes are a quarter of an inch (which is probably too small), then the diameter of a life-sized spoke would be at least 82 miles (132.5 km) wide.

Is this a copy-pasta I haven’t seen before or did you make this up?

I believe you are looking for hydrostatic equilibrium. There don’t seem to be good answers for this online, but according to Robert Black on this Quora post:

There isn’t a minimium per se but the generally accepted number for a mass to form into a sphere under its own gravity is 1/10,000th the mass of the Earth or 600 quintillion kg. As for size, it really depends on the composition of the body. The numbers are generally accepted to have a diameter of about 600km for a rocky body.

A quintillion is 1 x 10 to the 18th and Phobos has a mass of 1.0659 x 10 to the 16th kilograms and a diameter of 22 kilometers.

I guess I can see that, it is ridiculous. The difference is that this news comes across as completely believable to me instead of as skirting the line of believability like a “proper” post would do.

Too true…

Why is this on Not The Onion?

I assume they choose NYC in particular because its a three letter acronym that could sound like it would fit in with other three letter fighting organizations.

Pull and peel twizzlers are 10x’s better than regular twizzlers. I will not be taking any questions.

And who knows how many dead Russian soldiers don’t have a place in one of those graves.

I would assume he means speed in regards to catching malicious software and not speed of development, do you have a reason to think otherwise?
