Things That Are Bothering You, Got You All Hibbeldy-Jibbeldy, or just downright pissed, RIGHT NOW!

I love peasant food

This tracks

Absolutely. If there is rabbit on the menu I will order it. When I travel to Europe, if there is ever any offal I will most likely order it because I love peasant food for its taste and history.

You eat history?

There is no way this is even close to accurate.

Why am I not surprised that bear follows a twitter account named "Black Hole"

There is no way this is even close to accurate.

My gut reaction is that Jupiter should appear bigger, but after thinking about it I don't think so.

Jupiter is 10% the size of the sun. The sun is 390x further away from us than the moon. A straight multiplication would make Jupiter look 39x larger than the sun.

as fascinating as "how big would jupiter would appear if it were as close to the moon" is, I think the real action would be at the beach

and that we'd all be dead or have evolved fins or some ****

No different than you eating ass.

Unless we achieved an orbit, we'd be pulled straight into the planet...
Poof.

Jupiter is 88x the size of the moon. Imagine the moon in that picture x 88.

Also I would imagine the moon's light reflexivity (or whatever it is) would mean the sky is darker and ****.

I rather imagine having 88 moons.

88x in radius / diameter ?

...(adjusts spectacles) ...

seems doubtful that we would perceive circumference

jupiter's diameter is 143,000 km

the moon is about 3500 km

so about 40x diff *as flat*

 

[edinatlanta]

Also the moon isn't real so...

You're right, I miscalculated. It's closer to 43x, and the moon is very close to Io in size. Here is a picture of Io and Jupiter. I still don't think that photoshop is anything close to accurate.

And for the record, I could be dead wrong about the photoshop scale thing. The good news is my kids will still hate me regardless.
