This is science related I think

Ammonia smells like Windex. Any piss connoisseur will tell you the importance of dimethyl sulfide, butyric acid, and trimethylamine

Pissmaster from Rick and Morty could have been the hero he always wanted to be on that planet.

That's a piss ~~poor~~ RICH find

I thought you said Piss Rick for a moment, like when Rick Sanchez took on the role of Pissmaster so he wouldn't be as much of a disappointment to his daughter (I think), after he (Pissmaster) killed himself. Christ, that show was fucking dark.

Planet Piss. I’ve heard of that band.

I have a vague recollection from the past that Jupiter is a "failed star" in that it is "close" to the mass required to begin fusion, so I was confused about how an exoplanet could have several times its mass and not be a star.

Turns out, the threshold for deuterium fusion is about 13x the mass of Jupiter, so I guess it's "close" in that it's closer than anything else in the solar system (other than the sun), but less close than I assumed. Still, Epsilon Indi Ab is even closer to becoming a brown star. Or perhaps a golden star? Because of the pee smell?

And lest you think this planet is niche or dorky, according to science:

with a temperature of about 275 K (2 °C; 35 °F), [Epsilon Indi Ab is] the coolest exoplanet to be directly imaged.

So cool 😎

Since brown dwarfs are considered to be failed stars, Jupiter would be a "failed failed star".

God Jupiter, get your shit together.

Actually if Jupiter did get its shit together enough to start fusion I bet that would be a catastrophic event for earth so, sorry for being mean, Jupiter, thanks for tanking most of the asteroids for us, keep doing your thing, I think your red spot is very avant-garde.

God Jupiter

But you repeat yourself

[-] technohacker@programming.dev 6 points 1 day ago

Apparently Jupiter's gravity well can work both ways, either stopping asteroids from reaching us or giving them just enough energy to reach us. It's quite impartial at that. This video from Braintruffle covers the gravitational dynamics: https://youtu.be/1zu41rrc_Ng

Jupiter you tricky minx

Planet Trump.

He likes his name on things, right?

Are we talking asparagus piss or outhouse brewed hot piss?

Yeah, I’ll get worried about Jupiter doing a thing as soon as earth isn’t about to destroy itself
