Cake day: June 10th, 2023

help-circle






  • huh, so i’m one of the first lemm.ee users (my cake day seems to be tomorrow, might be wrong because timezone stuff)

    i remember back then wanting to join an instance but hearing lemmy.ml was overloaded and i should join lemmy.world instead. then over in the comments i saw you say that you made an instance and i decided to just join it. in hindsight i don’t know why i expected some instance hosted by some random guy who made a short comment to last longer than 2 weeks but i’m super glad it did (it was extra stable too). well done hosting your instance and helping us all out.

    sorry, did middle schoolers get taught the earth spins twice a day? 3 times? 17 times? or maybe they get taught that the time taken for it to spin once is actually called the sidereal day and not the synodic day?

    if you want to measure how fast things spin, use angular velocity. your car engine goes at several thousand rpm, not several thousand kilometers per hour. if you were standing at the poles, you would have zero linear velocity. does this mean the earth doesn’t spin?

    ok maybe you were talking about the time the earth takes to go around the sun. yes that takes a year.
