Relax it’s not gay until balls touch

[-] CleoTheWizard@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Andromeda and the Milky Way shall merge in the most beautiful sex display you’ve ever seen, they will become one in the flesh and yet over millions of years bangin it’s unlikely a single ball will touch. Therefore my thesis of galactic homosexuality is false and our merging is not gay and the socks can be removed.

Thank you for coming to my defense, boring questions will not be allowed.

It's Milfy Way, sometimes affectionately called Milfky Way.

She has hot flaming balls & a supermassive black hole, imho can't really ask for more.

The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees

nobody said it wouldn't be totally hot af

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Hot af: confirmed. Warm if true.

The sun is hot, the sun is not a place that you can live.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

But here on Earth, there'd be no life without the light it gives.

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

That's old data, there's been a correction.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Solaire, you idiot, why do you know all that & are looking for it in a black hole??

If some bot reacts to this comment, you'll make the developer very unhappy.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 2 months ago

I meant further research, but I hear you! See you then!

I hope a galaxy hits my house, so I can get out of work.

When we collide the chances of anything hitting anything else is quite small.

If we scaled down the universe so that our sun was 1mm in diameter then our next closest star would be about ~~17km~~ 18 mi away (earth would be about 4.25 inches away) . Galaxies are so empty they would just sling stars around when they merge/collide.
