I fully agree that subreddits supporting violence, such as physical_removal, are banned. The other one is a place full of racist jokes and I don't care much about it, but it should not be removed without a clear rule about it.

In the same spirit, a maximum number of posts from the same user on the front page.

New York to Ban Hot Dogs Because Climate Change by useless_aether in NotTheOnion

[–]roc 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

New Yorkers will be able to keep their precious hot dog street carts, and tourists will still be able to fill up on dirty water dogs in Times Square — at least for now. The Green New Deal only prohibits city facilities from buying and serving hot dogs and other processed meats in bulk to serve in city-run cafeterias, mostly located in city office buildings, jails, and schools.

It's not a ban, it's not spending government money on them anymore.

Resources come in from the north: copper, iron/steel, circuits, stone/brick, coal and solid fuel/plastic.

In the south trains leave with the resources that every subfactory needs: RGB, gray, purple, yellow and white. And finally a science train collects all science packs at the laboratory to the right. All trains run on nuclear fuel created by the centrifuge in the northwest.

The only exception is lubricant for electric engines (yellow), which comes in by pipe.

The other elements are the circuit factory, the refinery, the nuclear plant and the mining/smelting outposts.

<EX5> Why doesn't the moon fall down? Why doesn't it fall apart like meteors? by wizzwizz4 in AskScience

[–]roc 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Because molecules in a gas all move with some speed. This speed can be high enough to a body's gravity. Rocks on the other hand do not move around but lie in one place.

[–]roc 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The moon doesn't fall apart because it has enough mass to create significant gravity. At the surface of the moon the gravitational acceleration is 1/6 of Earth, which means that pieces of the Moon cannot just drift away into space. Gases however can easily escape with 1/6 gravity, which is why the Moon has no atmosphere.
