Do not put planets in there. No flared base!!
Eh.
This is how you know the universe wasn’t intelligently designed.
No one would pass up the opportunity to make it 69 earths inside Uranus.
It's 69 when Earth is flaccid
69 if you stretch it a little
Nice.
Nice.
This could create a singularity (depending on how loose the goose is). Don't do this.
Uranus smoke. Don't breathe this.
No, I refuse!
This was a question in a You Don’t Know Jack game, with the added “…64, if you relax.”
I read that last part in the host's voice, lol.
It is actually Ouranus,vSoviet Union renamed it 50 years ago. Everyone seems to forget that.
It was originally called George.
I thought it was Urectum, so named in 2620.
At least it will have put that ridiculous joke to rest.
Rectum? Damn near killed em
It's named after the god, whose name is spelled Uranus in English.
It's named after the greek god though, while all the other planets are named after Roman gods. It should be Caelus.
You're right, it's inconsistent. As far as I can tell, it's because the person who named it fucked up and used a Greek god name rather than Roman. To the delight of immature people (like me) everywhere.
It's just a communism joke, don't worry about it.
Oh, the thought crossed my mind, but it's very similar to the Greek spelling (Ouranos), so I thought it might be serious.
Now that's interesting. Didn't know the Greek had a different spelling.
The Greeks were making communist jokes long before it was even a thing!
That'll be the day I die.
I'll spill my heart for you!
Singing bye, bye, Miss American Pie
Shoved some planets in my anus and so now I must die
That'll be the day all of us die
Not today though
People have an incredible capacity to lie to themselves
But not today 😌
What a huge asshole
Slaps roof
You can fit over 63 of them inside King George.
No you won’t
32 Uranuses would fit inside Yomomanus
What a sad sad day that will be
r/unnecessaryreplies
Am 62. Laughed.
Yur a nus. Not “your anus”
Urine-us?
He said your anus
