Can somebody explain to me why it's taking so long for Tate to get sentenced?

What's the teapot a reference to?

Really? It seems like it's 50/50 if I can even open a link I've searched up without it immediately demanding that I log in.

I did some quick maths and assuming a desk-top globe of 12 inches, and guessing that the spokes are a quarter of an inch (which is probably too small), then the diameter of a life-sized spoke would be at least 82 miles (132.5 km) wide.

Is this a copy-pasta I haven't seen before or did you make this up?

I believe you are looking for hydrostatic equilibrium. There don't seem to be good answers for this online, but according to Robert Black on this Quora post:

There isn't a minimium per se but the generally accepted number for a mass to form into a sphere under its own gravity is 1/10,000th the mass of the Earth or 600 quintillion kg. As for size, it really depends on the composition of the body. The numbers are generally accepted to have a diameter of about 600km for a rocky body.

A quintillion is 1 x 10 to the 18th and Phobos has a mass of 1.0659 x 10 to the 16th kilograms and a diameter of 22 kilometers.

I guess I can see that, it is ridiculous. The difference is that this news comes across as completely believable to me instead of as skirting the line of believability like a "proper" post would do.

Too true...

Why is this on Not The Onion?

I assume they choose NYC in particular because its a three letter acronym that could sound like it would fit in with other three letter fighting organizations.

"In the first few days of the invasion of the Soviet Union, the Luftwaffe destroyed some 2,000 Soviet aircraft, most on the ground, at a loss of only 35 (of which 15 were non-combat-related)." Wiki. How did this happen if they weren't caught off guard?

Pull and peel twizzlers are 10x's better than regular twizzlers. I will not be taking any questions.
