  • Nope, I’ve pretty much heard it verbatim from some church colleagues (I don’t go any more). I love asking, “well did you choose to be straight?”, because the ones who stammer and sputter and shoot back a, “did you?!”. The looks on their face when I say, “Nope! I wish I was, because I have so many gay friends I wouldn’t be wanting for options!” or similar, priceless.

    Even the few who get pissed off never have a good retort to that. It’s like watching an old computer struggle to stay responsive. It’s either straight to ad hominems and name calling pretty much ignoring the whole conversation happened like the entire “Question the Gays” app crashed, or they struggle to reconcile their shitty world views for damn minutes on end.





  • Nope, it’d me much easier from Mercury. A higher orbit has more energy. A space ship has to speed up to increase it’s orbit.

    Think of it like the old expression about what an orbit even is: You’re still falling same as always, you’re just moving to the side fast enough to always miss. Earth is ‘missing’ the Sun by a whole lot more than Mercury is ‘missing’ the Sun.


  • Not sure what you mean by the question, but it’s because we’re in orbit around the sun. We’re already going way too fast, so you’d have to slow down, and slow down a lot.

    It’s actually a kinda’ fun challenge in Kerbal Space Program to hit the sun, and KSP’s solar system is much smaller than ours (meaning everything is much closer and easier to hit).
