This is what gets me confused. If we’re at the top, I see the banister mount turning horizontal, not up. Up from that POV would be towards the viewer, but it’s angled away which would be horizontal. We have to be looking from the bottom for it to be turning up in this photo. I have no idea how hundreds of people look at that and say it’s turning up.

E: nevermind, the question asked where the mattress is, not where I am looking from. 🤣

I don’t think this headline belongs to this article.

The article is talking about how the study referenced a non-existent source

The earth is rotating bro. It is not static. that’s literally why there are jets streams and prevailing wind patterns. If you could actually use a rotating body as a static reference frame, the stars in the sky would be spinning around your reference frame every 24 hours. Any star doesn’t have to be very far away before it needs to move faster than the speed of light to complete it’s rotation (which is not possible). Go spin a basketball. I promise you the 2 sides are moving in opposite directions from any reference frame that is not spinning (bc reference frames by definition are not spinning)

I see how you don’t understand reference frames. From any reference point, the 2 sides of the globe are moving differently. If you consider 1 side stationary, the other side of the earth is moving 3200 km/hr relative to you. If you’re at the core both sides are moving in opposite directions. I think you could teleport from one pole to the other and be ok. Reference frames by definition cannot be rotating.

The surface of the earth at the equator is moving at ~1600 km/hr in order to rotate fully in a day. If you teleport to the opposite side of the planet, you’ll still be moving at that speed but the surface there is moving in the opposite direction. You will now be having a very bad day.

Really really good at cutting things in half though. I think it still counts as a super power

Hey, the second one is Lake Illinois now!

This is a very interesting concept. They would have to be born in order to be a (natural born) citizen I think. But, it should still work because the census is required to count residents not citizens

I went to one in a small Illinois city today. We had about 1000 people which is crazy for our area. I bet the nola gathering was nuts.

ABC agreed to settle a defamation lawsuit that they could have easily won. Apparently, they thought it would be better to just give Trump money than it would be to piss him off by fighting it.

Porque no los dos?

Only the ones that get fired and are no longer fbi-cops will actually learn that though

If an executive order can nullify the 14th amendment, why not the 2nd?

Most likely true

He’ll be charged with terrorism…right?

A lot of people are asking this question

January 6th has entered the chat…and quietly left unnoticed.

Surprising, isn’t it?

Unfortunately, the justice system works very hard to make nullification seem like a non-option and to only select jurors that agree that it isn’t viable.
