[Pain] HUGE, self-inflicted Recession incoming due to Trump/Musk

Screw the moon and stuff...I like that it's the dude on top of Mount Olympus

tide goes in, tide goes out...whenever that guy wants it

 

It goes on a high shelf with the magnets like from Insane Clown Posse or whatever. But at least magnets are pretty difficult, at a deep level. Tides... LOL... not as difficult.

 

lol ICP magnets was my first thought too.

 

I don't know how either of those things work...I'm still trying to figure out daylight savings time

[BONUS COVERAGE]
Tides: Gravity pulls more strongly on things that are closer and pulls more weakly on things that are farther away. The moon's gravity pulls on the Earth, just as muhc as the Earth's gravity pulls on it. They pull on each other. But, in the finer details, they pull more strongly on the parts of one another that are closest to one another.

Moar:

Spoiler

What that means for the Moon: having the strongest pull always on the part facing earth meant, long ago, the Moon "phase locked" to us. That's why we always see the same face.

What that means for the Earth: we are bigger and harder to affect, but we too are slowly phase locking. Many millions of years from now, only one side of the Earth will face the Moon, and a "day" will be a whole lunar cycle long. (Just think of the sleep we will get!) In the meantime, the Moon also pulls on the squishy parts of Earth -- the oceans. The oceans bulge out toward the Moon when facing it (one high tide), and bulge away from the Earth on the side facing away from the Moon, where the pull is weaker (the other high tide).

That's it in a nutshell. Don't tell Bill O'Reilly, or Zeus.
