Do not put planets in there. No flared base!!

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 4 hours ago

No, I refuse!

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Eh.

This is how you know the universe wasn’t intelligently designed.

No one would pass up the opportunity to make it 69 earths inside Uranus.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 hours ago

It's 69 when Earth is flaccid

69 if you stretch it a little

[–] degen@midwest.social 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

This could create a singularity (depending on how loose the goose is). Don't do this.

Uranus smoke. Don't breathe this.

That'll be the day all of us die

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

This was a question in a You Don’t Know Jack game, with the added “…64, if you relax.”

[–] SpicyTaint@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

I read that last part in the host's voice, lol.

[–] Newsteinleo@infosec.pub 1 points 4 hours ago

People have an incredible capacity to lie to themselves

[–] troglodytis@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

What a sad sad day that will be

[–] Una@europe.pub 9 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (4 children)

It is actually Ouranus, Soviet Union renamed it 50 years ago. Everyone seems to forget that.

It was originally called George.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

I thought it was Urectum, so named in 2620.

[–] derry@midwest.social 6 points 6 hours ago

Rectum? Damn near killed em

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

At least it will have put that ridiculous joke to rest.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

It's named after the god, whose name is spelled Uranus in English.

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

It's named after the greek sky god though, while all the other planets are named after Roman gods. It should be Caelus.

[–] stephen01king@piefed.zip 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It's just a communism joke, don't worry about it.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, the thought crossed my mind, but it's very similar to the Greek spelling (Ouranos), so I thought it might be serious.

[–] stephen01king@piefed.zip 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Now that's interesting. Didn't know the Greek had a different spelling.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

The Greeks were making communist jokes long before it was even a thing!

Closest emoji that I could find to the hammer and sickle

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 10 points 8 hours ago

Not today though

[–] MistressRemilia@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 hours ago

But not today 😌

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 6 points 8 hours ago

What a huge asshole

[–] cramola@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 hours ago

No you won’t

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Yur a nus. Not “your anus”

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

He said your anus

[–] Noite_Etion@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Slaps roof

You can fit over 63 of them inside King George.

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I'm pretty sure I want it to be the last thing I read when I'm a hundred twenty.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago

32 Uranuses would fit inside Yomomanus

[–] thenextguy@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Am 62. Laughed.
