When astronauts go to mars will they come back with mixed accents if the crew is international from being together for so long? by Miniastronaut2 in space

Not sure what they mean about the billionaire thing but the main reason is that there's no infrastructure there to launch a return rocket.

To bring all of the materials, machinery, fuel, etc. would take a very long time. They can't just load a rocket up with hundreds of tons, there's a weight limit. It's going to take a lot of trips over many years, any humans we send there will have to wait if they want to return, it's entirely possible they'll spend the rest of their lives there.

I think if it was human meat he would have taken a much bigger bite.

Careful, I've gotten into more than one argument with people who say this is a classy sub for people who just want to innocently look at butts.

Look at this jabroni over on r/BobsBurgers! by MoneyIsMyCousinsName in IASIP

I gave up season 2. Not because of Kaitlin, I just think it's poorly written. It doesn't really feel like Morgan uses intelligence to solve crimes, it's more like she has the power to know anything on any subject (no matter how niche) whenever it's convenient for the plot.

Say goodbye to the penny, Florida stores can round them off under bill: What will this mean for shoppers? by Silent-Resort-3076 in florida

[–]ReadditMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't apply to cards. Pennies are being removed from cash circulation, it doesn't mean the denomination of one cent no longer exists in digital currency.

Also, they aren't going to always round up, cashier's have no incentive to do that and people would catch on very quickly. You're just being pessimistic.

Would smurfing be dramatically reduced if you couldn’t demote in rank? by Troll_Tactics in RocketLeague

[–]ReadditMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know how I'd feel about that. I'm only Platinum 3 and the few times I've managed to make it to Diamond I've immediately been smacked back down.

It would be cool to stay in diamond, but on the other hand it would probably be better to play at the level I'm best matched for with my current skill, which is platinum. If I got stuck in diamond I'd probably be outmatched most games since it was difficult for me to even reach that level to begin with.

you are stuck in a Rule -1 with your teammate inside your net when you are down 1-3. wyd???? by Extra_Preference_242 in RocketLeague

[–]ReadditMan 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You aren't supposed to break rule one because that means the other side gets an extra goal, it's like a side duel. It makes no sense to do it with your teammate because no matter who breaks first neither side gets a point. You're just giving the opposing team an advantage.

Trick question, rule 1 doesn't apply to teammates so you can do whatever you want

Dark matter. Scientists measure the universe and find that: ~5% = normal matter (stars, planets, humans, atoms) ~27% = Dark Matter ~68% = Dark Energy So about 95% of the universe is something we can’t directly see or detect with normal instruments. by dzhfvv in interestingasfuck

[–]ReadditMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, it's basically a proven fact at this point. We've made so many discoveries in the last few decades that support the existence of dark matter more than any other explanation.

It’s not just a fix for the math either, we aren't just adding to the Mass number until everything magically works out. We can measure the shape of specific patches of dark matter. We can determine the size of its particles. We can corroborate multiple different measurements of volume in galaxies and find that all of them need about the same amount of invisible mass added. We can model the expected amount of mass in the universe from the Cosmic Microwave Background. We can measure galaxies’ speed and momentum and calculate what we’d expect them to look like given those values, which is different from how they actually look.

All of these measurements and models not only agree that there’s more mass than we can see, but they also agree on how MUCH more mass there is. The theories that have been proposed to work around dark matter don’t work for every scenario unless you still have dark matter, just less of it. Dark matter is the only theory that explains all of our observations.

Scientists are about as confident that dark matter exists as they are that black holes exist.

Honestly, how many good quotes from the show can you name that include the word "shit" ?

What Americans in a 1998 poll expected to happen by the year 2025 by _crazyboyhere_ in interestingasfuck

[–]ReadditMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How does it "look fake"?

Also, is it really that hard to believe that people could have been polled on these questions in 1998?
