Then moon controls the tides

@OffensiveTaco It's a " thing "... not good or bad.

Fair enough

oh, you mean the helium-3 made from nuclear testing?

The moon actually controls the ocean tides

It's just a thing 😛

@Rat King Most of it, but so does the Sun 😛

the moon is a dried up ovary

every year the moon moves 2 inches away from the earth

@Rat King Sooo... you're saying I've got time? 😄

I said 2 inches

Could be 2 miles

Can't remember

Yeah, you keep saying 2 inches a lot. What are you really thinking about? 🤔

Haha

🤔

Jk, it is about 2 inches per year 😛

If the earth is 500 billion years old

How close was the moon then?

There's actually a few dedicated telescopes that make the measurement every few weeks. The most well known is the Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico. They use a huge 6megawat laser and bounce it off the Moon... A glorified radar gun 🤣

You can also do it low tech style with a HAM radio but it won't be superbly accurate.

@Rat King The moon didnt exist 500 billion years ago

I've seen people bounce their own voices in an audio steam off the Moon for a distance ping 🤣

with HAM radios

the moon was created out of the debris of a planetary collision after earth was born

@Deleted User neither did earth

Yeah@Deleted User

@Deleted User Universe isn't that old.

Welcome, <@!345869573440012288>.

hol up

Why do I feel the sudden need to watch the movie Idiocracy? 🤣

you just said earth is 500 billion years @Rat King

oh wait

universe is 13 billion right?

@Deleted User Rat's a troll 😛

dammit

don't feed it

i troll people daily

how do i miss these things

Earth just landed in a green zone with moon created by debris from a planetary collision that maintains the earths ocean eb and flows

My favorite thing to do back in " the day " was the ancient art of Alt+F4 trolling 😄
