I always face-palm at the story of this Russian engineer who was fitting the directional sensors in a rocket (a proton I think) and he couldn't get it in so he forced it in with a hammer. Turns out he didn't read the "this side up" sign on it and he put it in upside down (no wonder it didn't fit :P) and when the rocket launched it got confused and tried to do a 180 in mid air, ripping itself apart.

Im amazed by the fact that people can send stuff into space. But how could anyone make the mistake of fitting in the sensors upside down? This didn't happend once, this happend TWICE, one with the Proton and one with the Ariane. Seriously, how?

Well, I saw this one google image that showed this store; it proudly proclaimed it was “open days a week!

99 Cents Only Stores. I used to work there in the IT department, back when the Gold family was still running fhe place. They were a bunch of nutters.

My Mom's manfriend(?) put the PC in front of my closet to make space. He just straight up assumed i didn't use that closet, but if he maybe peeked inside, he would have seen all my homework, books, and other usefull things inside.

Its late at in a school night and i won't waste it on moving my entire PC setup, im a stick insect, not a strong, buff, man. I at least want to talk to him again :D.

At least he didn’t put it in the closet, or you’d have to deal with “come out of the closet” jokes

If the flat sky is 2000° hot, parallel to the flat Earth, and endless, then Earth temperature would stabilize at 2000°, too.

Starman wouldn't melt anyway, as it would smash into a crystal dome.

Now i have to deal with some Flat Earther who thinks that space itself is 2000 degrees Celsuis, and therefore Starman would melt.

Ouch.

.... wat. Who even thinks of these kinds of things.....

It's hard to not think about them, when you have a crystal ceiling at ~6400 km above your head.

Spoiler

Let me explain.

If throw anything up at 11183 m/s speed, it will never fall back on your head.
So, it has either sticked, or pierced, or been broken against something.

111832/(2 * 9.80665) = 6 371 000 m.

(Coincidentally this is equal to so-called "Earth radius" (how could a flat plane have radius? nonsense...).

Flat Earthers always make me facepalm.
