I heard Mars has no atmosphere. Could we create an atmosphere by dimming the lights and playing smooth jazz?

DocsMildlyDislikeMe:

Astronomist here !
Unfortunately, Mars has a very rocky and irregular surface, which is not compatible with the smoothness of jazz. The only way to match that rockiness would obviously be to play rock instead, but the resulting atmosphere would then be too hostile for humans. It's an issue that scientists around the world are still trying to overcome.

Isn't Mars red because of the iron? Wouldn't metal be better?

ProcastinatingAgain:

NASA has actually tried this by using one of their rovers, the transmission didn't work to well so the music sounded terrible, this only ended up angering the native Martians whom then started a huge storm and stranded Matt Damon on Mars.

Are all the subreddits going private to hide Victoria's Secret?

dunkybones:

They've gone dark because Victoria has a dark secret.

sevelev711:

Well this whole event just peaked right here. No where but downhill from here.

crustymailmanguydude:

If you cross multiply the ayy you can see that the dividend derivative function is exactly equal to lmao and thus we find how this post is very much science related.

Why are all of these vinyl records in the desert? What do you think is on them?

MyMudEye:

Someone setting a world record?

Funkybeatzzz:

Mostly hard rock since it’s too dry for blue grass.

anonymous:

Well, that's where they are grown. So it really depends on what seeds the artists want to grow there.

What kind of supercomputer can read this?

flamedragon822:
Oh that's not for supercomputers it's for macro computers made by Macrosoft before Microsoft drive them out of business back in the 90s. Turns out no one wanted larger computers

MovingClocks:
Actually, it's not for supercomputers (at least by today's standards), it's just fairly old! Moore's law states you can double the number of transistors per square inch on your circuitboard every 12 months or so, which is why new computers are smaller each year. If you look at the size of this vs a modern USB drive, you can see that it's probably around 50-100x larger, meaning that this can be approximately dated back to around 1900-1950!

ELI5: Britain is officially leaving Europe. Where are they going to go/how hard is it to move an island?

iron_dinges:

They've already started the first step: making the pound lighter so that the country can float on the sea.

EDIT: I was not talking about the pound sterling, kind gilding stranger!

JustADudeOfSomeSort:

Well first they need to have someone go down and pull the release level in the chunnel. That detaches them from the mainland and allows them to float free. Then the dutch wind farms will turn their windmills on and blow the country out into the ocean, where it can catch trade currents wherever it would like to go.

Is this almost perfectly circular island man-made?

dogninja8:

No, it's a fake island put there by the map maker to see if anyone is copying his map.

anonymous:

That's Antaracataca you dumb potatoe.

RamsesThePigeon:

That's not an island... but I suspect you knew as much.
No, that's a flying saucer. It's been hovering over the Earth for centuries, but it moves from place to place, which is why different maps show it in different locations.
