I like "and you definitely don't need to worry about it"
like bro there could be a perfect octagon in saturn's atmosphere. there could be three octagons and i still wouldn't worry about it. tf do you think I'm going to do? what is anyone going to do about shapes in saturn's atmosphere
Honestly, I hope he's just doing a bit, because imploring people to "Be Worried!" about a shape literally multiple times the size of earth is hilarious
lmao this ain't 40k or SCP brother, if some vast force comes out of the dark at us then our little ape asses are cooked
I don't know looks like warp sign to me, I'm ordering Exterminatus on Saturn.
Someone should tell him about Giant's Causeway in Ireland and make him shit his pants.
You can do this with rotating fluid and the proper conditions, its not always a hexagon you can get anywhere from a 3-8 sided shape, Saturn rolled 6 humans respond with mythology-inspired flipout. Ur move gas giant.
Seriously though, what is he going to do, fly to Saturn and issue a formal complaint about its fluid geometry? You can't complain in the vacuum of space. When will these silly sorts realize material reality cares not for your idle judgements of it.
It's a giant portal to hell and this guy thinks he's the DOOM Marine.
Space terrifies me. The gas giants are especially fucking terrifying. Like if I woke up in the far future, on a ship/artificial satellite (space station, whatever) orbiting close to Jupiter or Saturn I would freak the fuck out—just thinking about this completely imaginary scenario I have no frame of reference for is freaking me out.
I think Uranus—shut up shut up shut the fuck up—is kinda cool though. I had a dream once that I was in orbit around it—in a far future where there was some colonization/industrial shit going on (because there were some points of light scattered across the dark side). I still ain’t going up there though. I’m dying on this mote of dust.
The Sun doesn’t freak me out as much. Sunshine was a cool movie.
There is a great book called The Algebraist that takes place in a gas giant. The scale is unfathomable. Highly recommend it, or the audiobook.
The author Iain M Banks was a cool dude. Sadly we lost him in 2014.
He'd have preferred that to the pancreatic cancer that got him.
I'll send you a copy of the book if you fancy it.
Honestly it doesn’t sound like my cup of tea. I’m more into hard sci-fi, and also I don’t know how to read.
It is hard sci-fi. No FTL here. Granted it is grand in scale, but I don't think that should count against it.
IDK I can't see how he replied to anything but that's a good post despite the
I wouldn't call that freaking outIt would be a good post, but the
makes me think he's being serious
Pretty sure it's just a bit, I've seen people talk about Saturns hexagon in a pseudo-conspiratorial way before
