Is there another star coming soon?

[–] null@lemmy.nullspace.lol 16 points 6 days ago (5 children)

No, but they're changing water so it only has one hydrogen atom

I've been living in the solar system for awhile, and lemme tell you, that rating's pretty accurate. Now if only I could find the manager to make a complaint...

Big if true :3

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)
