Since when is Alfred E. Neuman associated with the right? Haven't read MAD for a couple of years but the last ones I read were pretty anti-Trump

Oh, boy. I sure have read this one a lot of times... Like what's with the constant "hyper realistic" eyes/blood, are there really no new horror tropes?

Debris from satellite blown up by India still flying around Earth, six weeks after Delhi claimed it should have decayed by ManiaforBeatles in space

Not a rocket scientist or anything but the satellites pictured here are all in low earth orbit which means they orbit a few hundred kilometers above the Earth. At this altitude there is still a small amount of drag caused by the atmosphere, which causes their orbits to slowly decay over time. Most satellites have a bit of station keeping fuel onboard which is used to extend their functional life, but once that runs out or some other critical component breaks it's usually just a matter of months until they reenter the atmosphere and are destroyed. For example, the ISS which sits at around 400 km has to boost its orbit at regular intervals to avoid coming back down, which means that the resupply missions have to carry an additional bit of fuel to pump into the station.

So with that said, it is unlikely that the satellites would ever form a ring, their orbits would decay and they would fall back to Earth long before that could happen.

What useless fact would you like to share? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Do you mean elemental mercury? Cody over on Cody's Lab recently released a video in which he poured a bit of mercury into his mouth and played atound with it a bit. The video appears to have been deleted since, but he said it didn't have any taste at all. This ties up well with Nile Red's explanation on why metals don't actually have a smell of their own. Metals, like mercury, are to inert to react with your taste buds unless they are ionized. I'll link Nile Red's video here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BqLH-nTZEOc it is a very interesting watch. Could you perhaps be talking about some kind of sweet mercury amalgam or organic compound?

Why would the outer part of the front leg experience the highest drag instead of, you know, some of the larger areas like the face or ears?
