Damnit, you’re right

He probably has one

Shake would be ok, but he’d laser eye the Russians and that would be bad since it would lead to ww3. Meatwad is the best answer.

That would be a weird empire, though, right? Like your borders change minute-by-minute, right now you rule over Thailand but later tonight you rule over Rwanda.

I mean, I understand what they meant in the movie, but the logistics are weird.

That’s who we have now

I do, but my partner does a lot and when they do they do so humorously. I’ve thought about starting a Tumblr just to record our conversations.

I don’t know for sure, but GIMP may be able to convert an image to emoji/utf-x.

There’s a couple options on the Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse

Edit: not sure if the page exists in Catalan or not, though. Força Barça.

If we’re including movies: “That was neither honorable nor courageous!”

If not: “One is my name, the other is not.”

It’s ok when someone performs a task differently than you would have.

Democrat and Republican voters would probably agree on the president having to be a white male.

Not at all! I couldn’t tell you aren’t a native speaker. Regarding a “moon elevator”, or more realistically a space elevator, these kinds of Herculean physics problems are exactly what people are trying to iron out. The forces involved are astronomical.

So I found a dowel rod online that’s 1 meter long by 25 mm in diameter made of beech, which is pretty typical for this kind of rod. Each rod weighs 420 g. 300,000 km is 300,000,000 m. So for a dowel rod to be 300,000,000 m long, it would weigh 126,000,000,000 g, or 126,000,000 kg. You would never be able to push this rod. If you had a magical hydraulic ram that could, it would just compress the soil under it. This is on the scale of the foce released from an atomic bomb.

But let’s throw that out and pretend the whole thing weighs 420 grams instead. Maybe it’s made of a novel, space-age material instead of beech. And since you’ve said it can’t bend or break, the portion at the surface of the earth would be spinning at roughly 1,000 kph (due to the rotation of the earth), and the portion at the end of the rod would be spinning at about 28 km/s. Most of the mass of the rod would be spinning faster than escape velocity, so you wouldn’t be able to hold onto it. It would be gone almost instantly.

Let’s pretend you could hold onto it. Then the person on the moon couldn’t hold it, because the earth rotates on its axis about 28 times faster than the moon travels around its orbit. So you can see how this problem devolves into ever more layers of magic and hand-waiving.

The final problem is the fundamental difference between classroom physics and material engineering. If you could fix the moon to the end of the rod, and you used a space-age material that weighs 420 g for the whole thing, and it could be so rigid as to not bend, then it would have to break instead. If, instead, it’s designed to not break, then it must be able to bend. This is just how real materials work. But even if it does neither, or at most only bends a little, it is still true that as you push on the rod it would compress. So the tip wouldn’t move at first. The pressure would move through the rod like a wave. You can’t send information faster than light.
