Why did they have to use "plunge"?💀

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago

They knew what they were doing

[-] jwt@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago

Sometimes journalists just aren't that subtle when it comes to puns.

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

Maybe it happens sometime after 40?

[-] TheColonel@reddthat.com 13 points 11 months ago

It doesn’t.

My dad is retired and still laughs at pull my finger. Makes me laugh as well.

[-] Mr_Fish@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

I honestly don't know which name is better: Uranus or George.

Yes, the guy who discovered the planet wanted to name it after King George, but everyone said that was too political, so it was called Uranus.

[-] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Seeing how Uranus is a Greek in origin named after one of their mythological figures, the proper Greek pronounciation would be more like "Ooranos"

[-] Micromot@feddit.de 5 points 11 months ago

That seems pretty similar to the german prnunciation

[-] kzhe@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

It would probably have been Georgia or some derivative of George.

~~Homer~~ Beer baron in the distance

^^^no ^^^you ^^^won't

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

That beats the current sharpie record!

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 8 points 11 months ago

You're a nuss.

That's the official pronunciation. Practice it, and one day you can partake in astrononical discussions without giggling!

[-] ridethisbike@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Nah I'm good fam

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

The great thing about this is that "a" can be pronounced as either long or short a. At least, that's how it's used where I live, I'm not sure if that's actually "correct."

[-] betahack@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Jesus christ....do they not teach you anything in school anymore??

astronomers changed the name of Uranus to end that stupid joke.

[-] Daxtron2@startrek.website 16 points 11 months ago

It's true, they changed it to urectum

[-] betahack@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago
[-] Daxtron2@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago

Wheres my Futurama sleeper gang at

[-] Mr_Fish@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Did they change it to George? Please tell me it's called George now.

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

For real? What'd they change it to?

[-] spiffynova@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)
[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

What else can you fit in Uranus?

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago
[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

phttt ... give me a good milkshake (I'm lactose intolerant) and I can do that too

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I'll tell you what not to put in there: Christmas decorations. They break easy and it can cause a mess. Don't want to pollute all of Uranus' non-solid core with glass shards.

See it even sounds sexual when I clearly make it about the planet

[-] IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago
[-] Senseless@feddit.de 1 points 11 months ago

Is it good or bad that I know what you're talking about?

[-] IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

It means that you are an erudite person.

[-] bmsok@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Embrace Uranus

[-] redxef@feddit.de 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Important question, do they mean

  1. 63*V_Earth <= V_Uranus, 64*V_Earth > V_Uranus

or

  1. They actually considered sphere packing and thus 64*V_Earth <= V*_Uranus
[-] MightyGalhupo@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I hope I can always be immature enough to laugh at this. Life sucks, enjoy the little things. Or in this case the very big space you can fit things into.

[-] SquishMallow@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

The day that happens, I'd rather die
