    The Earth is constantly accelerating up at a rate of 32 feet per second squared (or 9.8 meters per second squared). This constant acceleration causes what you think of as gravity.

    HOOO BOY,
    that is so stupid, Hexbear might actually try to convince itself that it is true.

      I almost left Lemmy because of the crap I always had in my feed.

      Then I realized all the bottom of the barrel content and takes were all from the hexbear instance. I started blocking any community from that server. It’s like a whole new world

      I sure hope a hydrogen atom doesn’t get in our way and destroy the multiverse with the collision.

      After reading that, I’ve felt like I lost many wrinkles from my brain.

      I like how they take into account special relativity by saying, that earth will never reach the speed of light because of it. But then they forget, that this will lead to less acceleration as earth gets faster and faster (and heavier and heavier).
