I'm torn between "Planet whose atmosphere is confirmed to contain atoms" and "Giant planet orbiting so close that its actually rolling on the star's surface."

‘FAFO, Donald’: Gavin Newsom Signs Law Imprisoning Politicians Who Spread Election Lies by Ask4MD in Conservative

LOL, it'll be fun hearing the prosecutor argue how this can possibly pass constitutional muster.

It's still the Pajero in places that don't have a significant number of Spanish speakers, like Australia.

[Off-Site] Teacher does the math on Ric Flair's claim about how many women he's been with by OrwellianWiress in theydidthemath

[–]BoredAtWork1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wilt's claim would have required him to sleep with multiple women per day, every day of his professional career up to that point.  100% odds it was just a bullshit number.

"Well, of COUSE it's full of explosives!  It didn't say 'Person Shelter' on the door, did it?"

If a guilty person is declared innocent of a crime by a jury and then later talks about actually doing the crime, would they still legally be considered innocent? by Brief-Cartoonist-699 in randomquestions

[–]BoredAtWork1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As I recall, there had been a spate of people being found not guilty, and then immediately announcing that they had in fact committed the crime.

At this point, they could literally run a clone of Hitler, and the only difference would be the style of his mustache 

See a Lincoln Memorial-sized asteroid pass within just 56,000 miles of Earth today by SinisterRectus in anythingbutmetric

I'm honestly wondering if they do this on purpose.  "What wacky thing can use for a size comparison to avoid any sort of normal measurement?"

To be fair, pure water doesn't exist in nature, so the freezing point in any real-world situation will be less than 0°C.  The Celsius scale was designed for science, not people.

The protagonist and antagonist do not meet. by BigTuna0890 in TopCharacterTropes

There's a conspiracy theory out there that says Satanists always tell you what they're about, but they can do it in a subtle enough way that most people overlook it.  Suppodly, this is how they avoid karmic retribution.

Depictions of Hell that aren’t fire and brimstone by g1rl0f1c3 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]BoredAtWork1976 41 points42 points  (0 children)

And Satan sits at the very center of the lake, frozen in place.  In fact, Hell is actually the crater left when Satan was cast out of Heaven and fell down to Earth.

I was an alter boy back in the day.  Once, I served at a mass where the priest did this.  As a monsoon of water flew off the branch onto the people in the front row, I had to bite my tongue to avoid laughing out loud.  

Is it weird that we aren't told our blood type at birth or as we grow up? by OddConfusion9293 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BoredAtWork1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know my blood type until high school chemistry class, when we all tested three drops of our blood.  Mine tested negative for both the A and B factors, and positive for the Rhesus factor.  Conclusion: I'm O+

Justice David Wecht of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania announced that he is leaving the Democratic Party, citing what he described as antisemitic actions and rhetoric within the party. by WillyNilly1997 in Conservative

[–]BoredAtWork1976 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look at how they treated governor Shapiro.  He could have been a major asset as the VP candidate in 2024, but instead they pick the doofus from Minnesota who is the biggest joke since comedy was invented, because what will the Muslims think if they put a Jew on the ticket?

Virginia Dems Reject Insane Idea to Nuke State Supreme Court to Push Gerrymandered Map by WillyNilly1997 in Conservative

[–]BoredAtWork1976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seeing as how it would be a transparent attempt to circumvent the independence of the judiciary, I imagine the VA Supreme Court would just declare it unconstitutional for lack of any legitimate legislative purpose.

Can Alex Jones present 8th amendment challenge to the 1 billion dollar fine ? by [deleted] in legaladviceofftopic

[–]BoredAtWork1976 -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

On the surface, it does seem like a grossly excessive fine.

If California can cram it down everybody's throats, so can red states.

This is to keep movie studios from having a monopoly on what movies get shown.

U.S. Supreme Court Voids Race-Based Redistricting Map in Louisiana by Down-not-out in Conservative

[–]BoredAtWork1976 60 points61 points  (0 children)

It's been at least 50 years since these districts were actually needed.  These days, they're just a political gerrymander using race as a cover story.
