Mercury has an average surface temperature of around 167°C, Venus is much hotter with an average of 464°C

Ah, 2nd world problems.

Yeah but Venus is a dry heat...

An acidic heat

This just adds to the joke, right? 1st world problems being problems which would be wildly undermined if compared to other's problems.

The year was 2174 - Humans decide they want to Make Venus habitable by converting the atmosphere into one suitable to humans.

The year was 2182 - oops, 7 planets in the solar system you say? How the fuck did we do that bad

the inaccurate scale of the planets tho...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think I could live with the scale error, and even forgive the lack of asteroid belt, if only Venus wasn't smaller than Mercury.

... Maybe I'm taking this a little too seriously.

Right? Venus, Earth, and Mars should all be pretty similar. Mercury should be about the size of the moon or a little bigger. Jupiter doesn't need to be fuck off huge, but at least a bit bigger than Saturn.

Sounds like my wife.

She moans about being to hot in bed but when I snuggle up her arse is always freezing...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Well at least you keep her warm:-)

When this happens to me I just kick the cat out of bed.

Pshah! That hemisphere would be cold.

Is a planet a world ? Is the world the universe ? I've heard the earth being called "the world" but never other planets.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

It depends. If the planet is sentient, as in the context of a joke, then probably okay to call it a world. But other times? Hell no.
