A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

the tallest mountain on earth measured from skirt to peak is Mauna Kea, ~10km
Damn, I think the tallest in the solar system is just 11km, on Mars
Here's what wild about that. Olympus Mons is so massive and with a gentle enough slope that, across most of it's topology a person standing on it, might not even know they were on a mountain. At about 22km high and about 600km wide, you could (very roughly on average) expect to walk about 13.6 meters in order to rise or fall 1 meter (~7% slope). Another source puta the slop at %5 (1:20). Those are both on the same order of magnitude of slope as a handicap ramp.
Hot damn that's a big hill
Big enough to escape the dark and become a beloved cultural centerpiece.
