But the moon is slowly drifting away from the Earth so it will not be true in the relatively near future.

Okay, not as near as I thought, although I did mean "relatively" compared to the age of the Earth.

Good save there

[–] FlyingSquid 17 points 5 months ago

Or, you know, me admitting I was wrong but still clarifying.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I mean, and I'm saying this just to mess with you a little more, you could have said that you meant "relatively" compared to anything as a follow up depending on how your replies went XD

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They said "relatively". So it's okay.

I don't know if this is sarcastic, but pedantic and edifying are a venn diagram

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah it was a sarcastic joke. LoL

Earth will be a desert planet by then (not because of humans).

And the sun is expanding, too.

May take a while but if you look closely you will notice. Just wait.

I was concerned about my eyes so I asked google before.

Gemini said it is ok to stare at it

I followed it's instructions and glued my eyes open!

What if the earth and moon hung out a bit more and developed some better shared hobbies or something? Can we heal this relationship and stop this drifting-apart problem?
