This could create a singularity (depending on how loose the goose is). Don't do this.

Uranus smoke. Don't breathe this.

This was a question in a You Don’t Know Jack game, with the added “…64, if you relax.”

[–] SpicyTaint@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I read that last part in the host's voice, lol.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 months ago

It's 69 when Earth is flaccid

[–] Una@europe.pub 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

It is actually Ouranus, Soviet Union renamed it 50 years ago. Everyone seems to forget that.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I thought it was Urectum, so named in 2620.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

At least it will have put that ridiculous joke to rest.

[–] derry@midwest.social 7 points 2 months ago

Rectum? Damn near killed em

Closest emoji that I could find to the hammer and sickle

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's named after the god, whose name is spelled Uranus in English.

[–] stephen01king@piefed.zip 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's just a communism joke, don't worry about it.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh, the thought crossed my mind, but it's very similar to the Greek spelling (Ouranos), so I thought it might be serious.

[–] stephen01king@piefed.zip 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Now that's interesting. Didn't know the Greek had a different spelling.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

The Greeks were making communist jokes long before it was even a thing!

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

It's named after the greek sky god though, while all the other planets are named after Roman gods. It should be Caelus.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

It was originally called George.

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 10 points 2 months ago

Not today though

Shoved some planets in my anus and so now I must die

[–] lessthanluigi@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 months ago

I'll spill my heart for you!

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

That'll be the day all of us die

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 months ago

Do not put planets in there. No flared base!!

But not today

[–] cramola@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

No you won’t

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 6 points 2 months ago

What a huge asshole

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

No, I refuse!

[–] Noite_Etion@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Slaps roof

You can fit over 63 of them inside King George.

[–] MistressRemilia@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 months ago

But not today 😌

[–] thenextguy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Am 62. Laughed.

People have an incredible capacity to lie to themselves

What a sad sad day that will be

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I'm pretty sure I want it to be the last thing I read when I'm a hundred twenty.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago

32 Uranuses would fit inside Yomomanus

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yur a nus. Not “your anus”

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

He said your anus
