Billionaires and Right wingers around the world.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

By now just the entire planet.

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

There's precious life on the planet. It's beautiful. It would be a shame if such a rare thing disappeared.

Just send humanity, they (we) earned it a long time ago.

The republican party. Aka modern day fascists.

Maybe the DNC and establishment neoliberals too, who ushered in fascism.

Every person in the world with a net worth over $1B USD. Then I'd equally reallocate their money across every human on earth.

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 53 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Rather than re-allocating their money across every human on earth, why not allocate it inversely proportional to the net worth of the recipient (and maybe also local currency conversion rate), to uplift the poorest folks?

Could probably choose a lower number, too - say, $100M. Nobody needs anywhere remotely close to that.

The economics of unlucky Mario Party spaces

[–] bratwurstest@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 4 days ago

Yeah 100M feels right. Also, wealth is usually tied up in non liquid assets, and it makes no sense to either force liquidation even if it crashes the value, or divide ownership equally among 9 billion people. Each asset needs to be re-allocated on a case by case basis. Like, the private international bridge in Detroit, it's much more valuable as a single asset than the steel scrap it could be sold for.

One of those infinitely long, perfectly rigid, incompressible, conductive rods I read so much about while I was trying to learn the stuff you need to know before you can start studying black holes

Another black hole. I just wanna see what happens you know?

[–] MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They just merge. They're just really really dense concentrations of mass-energy, not extradimensional portals.

[–] bdot@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago
  • really dense. ✅
  • concentrations of mass ✅

The human compulsion to invent religions.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Trick question. Time dilation means nothing ever actually enters a black hole. It just keeps getting infinitesimally close.

That goddamned orbiting teapot.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Not much, as I understand it it's as difficult, if not more difficult to actually enter a black hole, as it is to throw something into the sun. Literally easier to just fling it out into the cosmos.
