To be fair, that's an issue in almost every imperative language and even some functional languages. Rust, C, and C++ are the only imperative languages I know of that make a serious effort to restrict mutability.

My brother in Christ, the average person doesn't even know Lemmy exists.

People don't know about the weird chunk sizes representing inequality.

They do know about Chocolonely being marketed as a more ethical product.

Me personally? Probably not. But I've read that safrole is a good starting point, and it comes from sassafras.

Cool professors just give you a formula sheet.

What matters is the total mass of the black hole, not its density. If you replaced Earth's core with a black hole of the same mass, the gravity you'd feel at the surface (or beneath the surface) would be the same. You'd only notice a difference if you were in the hollow region formed by removing the core.

The way I see it, the real problem with a planet like Earth is that because the inside is so hot, the inner parts are too soft to support their own weight, and the crust is probably too fragile to support its own weight. That's not a problem, though, in an asteroid or a planet that's solid all the way through.

This is the sort of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put.

A more timely example is the people who think they can always tell when someone is trans.
