Gravity

Okay, grab something heavy and lend me an ear.

No.

We will not be losing gravity for seven seconds within just over 30 minutes as of the time of this post.

I almost wish we were.

But we’re not.

Stop it. You’re making damned fools of yourself. It makes me sad.

    I don’t know, maybe there was a slight lightness.

    Welp. That was just a touch of gas.

    I’m at a loss of words. This was really a rumor??

      A full on conspiracy even. Link is to a Google News feed on the matter. Pick your favorite flavor of reporting.

        I’m shaking my head. And I think this may bring a depression on for me.

          I agree. Flat earth was bad enough. This… Wow

    Question: why do you think it is these days that, when somebody puts something online which is quite clearly nonsense, swathes of the general populace seem to treat it is gospel? Have we lost the final vestiges of common sense?

      I’ve increasingly wondered if “sense” is all that “common”.

      I think the internet has largely just amplified the nonsense, but there have always been people who are willing to embrace such things.

      We’re just discovering that there are more willing marks than previously thought.

        I agree – and what it has done is enable like minded individuals to form pockets which support one another. I’m assuming you saw the painting over of the sun the other day 🤣

          Actually I didn’t. I think it was too far off to be effective for North America. Or seems we never get a full eclipse in Minnesota so it’s hardly worth fussing about when one happens.

            Not as impressive as the one we had in ’99, sadly!

    If Mother Earth (or Mother Universe) decided to shut that off and jettison us all from the surface there isn’t an entity around that would blame her.

    1. michael raven Avatar

      I reckon that you’re right.

      But it is an odd sort of thing to conspiracy about. She’s had other opportunities and she’s not taken advantage of in the past…

        Sooner or later she’ll stop giving us chances.

        1. michael raven Avatar

          I surely hope she stops handing out chances before it gets too far along.

    Oh, if only we could have something as interesting as that happening. Just kidding. Kind of.

      It might be fun flying for a few seconds. I always joke with the kiddos that flying is easy: You just throw yourself at the ground and miss.

      They don’t laugh.

      They are also no fun at all at times.

        It made me laugh!

          Some did at least! 🙂
