One of those infinitely long, perfectly rigid, incompressible, conductive rods I read so much about while I was trying to learn the stuff you need to know before you can start studying black holes

That goddamned orbiting teapot.

Oh, please, you know exactly who my answers are.

The republican party. Aka modern day fascists.

Maybe the DNC and establishment neoliberals too, who ushered in fascism.

[–] Dippy@beehaw.org -1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Ah yes, the ones who ushered in fascism were the checks notes people to the left of the fascists.

[–] godsammitdam@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

If you work across the aisle with fascists to exclude people based on skin color, gender identity, support the bombing of other civilizations for profit, instituting policy to drive people into poverty and criminalize it, that uh checks notes sounds like it aligns with fascism.

Capitalism and fascism/authoritarianism are bedfellows. Neoliberals believe capitalism is correct, we just didn't do it right.

Those of us to the left recognize the system is working as intended.

Look at how far left these guys are 🙃

The fascists have agency. They are the ones responsible for their own fascism.

[–] godsammitdam@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

Damn right.

And so do the establishment centrists who choose to support their donors and the fascists over protecting your rights and representing you.

Not much, as I understand it it's as difficult, if not more difficult to actually enter a black hole, as it is to throw something into the sun. Literally easier to just fling it out into the cosmos.

You have to shed the inertia you already have to fall into the sun. The difference is about 30km/s or 108,000 km/h to slow down enough. The rotational plane of the solar system can be used to speed you up to escape velocity, especially with a slingshot off one of the giants, so it requires a lot less fuel.

[–] BurnedDonutHole@ani.social 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Myself to see what's all the fuss is about.

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The Sarlac pit might be a blessing since the Mandalorian suggests you could escape, but a blackhole… that’d suck.

[–] BurnedDonutHole@ani.social 1 points 4 hours ago

I didn't think about the escape part. Who knows, maybe there is a wormhole at the end. Also, I'm pretty sure it will be a much peaceful way to go then the sarlac pit, considering the speeds involved.

[–] onnekas@sopuli.xyz 15 points 21 hours ago

I'd throw in the post below

Just toss in a rock, it’d have the same result.

Jokes on you, the universe only has one extremely busy electron.

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Was gonna say billionaires, but then I thought: why not go myself? See you on the other side, losers.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

IIRC, and understand the theory correctly, I believe your best chance for survival is a spinning supermassive black hole. I think that's the one that might not spaghettify you. I know you want supermassive, just can't remember if you want it spinning or stationary.

If you can survive it, you'll end up at the end of the universe within your own lifetime, due to time dilation. Possibly almost instantly from your perspective. Not sure what you'd do at that point though.

[–] CatAssTrophy@safest.space 2 points 5 hours ago

Pretty sure even if you don't spaghettify, you still get crushed to death by the pressure.

The human compulsion to invent religions.
