(telegra.ph)
Why did they have to use "plunge"?💀
They knew what they were doing
😳
64 if you relax
Holy shit, you made my day
But
Butt, lol
Narrator: He will never be mature enough for that.
Maybe it happens sometime after 40?
It doesn’t.
Nooooope
My dad is retired and still laughs at pull my finger. Makes me laugh as well.
I honestly don't know which name is better: Uranus or George.
Yes, the guy who discovered the planet wanted to name it after King George, but everyone said that was too political, so it was called Uranus.
Seeing how Uranus is a Greek in origin named after one of their mythological figures, the proper Greek pronounciation would be more like "Ooranos"
That seems pretty similar to the german prnunciation
It would probably have been Georgia or some derivative of George.
Let me locate it for you

In mythology, Uranus (or Ouranos) is the son AND husband of Gaia (Earth). They had 18 kids together, but he hated having kids, so he hid the kids inside Gaia… in a cave I guess, presumably not the same cave he was having sex with. In response, she gave the youngest, Cronus, a magic sickle and he castrated Ouranos. So somehow, despite 63 Earths being able to fit inside Uranus, Uranus managed to fit himself inside of Earth at least 18 times.
It’s also crazy that astronomers didn’t go with the objectively cooler ‘Ouranos’ spelling of the name, and instead went with the ‘Your Anus’ spelling.
presumably not the same cave he was having sex with
It was exactly the same cave he was having sex with. He refused to remove his penis to prevent their children from leaving the womb cave, so Kronos had to castrate Ouranos so they could emerge.
That's the actual myth.
Every time you think it can't get weirder.

That beats the current sharpie record!
You're a nuss.
That's the official pronunciation. Practice it, and one day you can partake in astrononical discussions without giggling!
Nah I'm good fam
The great thing about this is that "a" can be pronounced as either long or short a. At least, that's how it's used where I live, I'm not sure if that's actually "correct."
Jesus christ....do they not teach you anything in school anymore??
astronomers changed the name of Uranus to end that stupid joke.
It's true, they changed it to urectum
🤣
this guy gets it

Siswet: “Only 63?”
Is it good or bad that I know what you're talking about?
It means that you are an erudite person.
Embrace Uranus
What else can you fit in Uranus?
Massive amounts of gas
phttt ... give me a good milkshake (I'm lactose intolerant) and I can do that too
I'll tell you what not to put in there: Christmas decorations. They break easy and it can cause a mess. Don't want to pollute all of Uranus' non-solid core with glass shards.
See it even sounds sexual when I clearly make it about the planet
.. in the back seat of a stellar Volkswagen.
Important question, do they mean
- 63*V_Earth <= V_Uranus, 64*V_Earth > V_Uranus
or
- They actually considered sphere packing and thus 64*V_Earth <= V*_Uranus
The day that happens, I'd rather die
I hope I can always be immature enough to laugh at this. Life sucks, enjoy the little things. Or in this case the very big space you can fit things into.
