We're already in the sun's gravity well. The hard part is getting any point in your orbit to be close enough to the sun to use it's atmosphere to slow down (or just hit it and disappear, that's the easy part). Our orbital velocity around the sun is 29.8km/s, a low earth orbit would be in the range of 6.9-7.7 km/s depending on altitude and you can't really get anywhere in space without getting off the planet. So even if we ignore everything else you'd still need enough fuel to change your velocity by nearly 40km/s. To carry the extra fuel into orbit you'd need a much bigger rocket and that means more fuel and expenses. In fact I'm pretty sure it takes more fuel to get into a circular low solar orbit than it would take to get to any other planet.

What would you rather do then?

I'm surprised turkey is the first one to do this but... good.

A bullet that is not at rest relative to the point where an external force has acted upon it.

Yeah I'd suggest looking at frames of reference and how time dilation keeps the speed of light constant or in other words special relativity.

What's with the simoleon symbols?

Lemmy's mostly alright, it's nice that it is more politically open, though I've seen a lot I don't agree with from some groups, namely hexbear, but also a bit from other places. ml is a mixed bag for me but at least you can just straight up block things easily.

Well that's fucked, but nobody said anything about Christians or any kind of rituals, I think it was in reference to the ongoing genocide.
