My first thought when I read that title was "but have you checked to see if any are potentially habitable?" Then I realized this was fph not amateur astronomers and I don't think I want to know the answer to that. o.o

Do you follow (real) exoplanet news? We're just short of 2000 known ones currently. I'm looking forward to the Webb telescope, which should be able to find earth-sized planets.
I anticipate that our solar system is roughly average, and most probably have a few smaller rocky planets. It would be unlikely for us to live in an extremely unusual solar system, so my data based on a sample size of 1 is based on that presumption.
How about you? We live in interesting times.

I'm not the comment OP, but I do love following this stuff.
I would say our planetary system is far from average, mainly due to the fact that we have a comparatively large main sequence star. An average planetary system would most certainly contain a much smaller red dwarf star at the center. I imagine this would decrease the chances of having gas giants (though you might have some ice giants like Neptune and Uranus), since the accretion disk would have much less material for planets to form from.
Overall, it might also decrease the possibility of a stable system, since there would, most likely, be no Jupiter sized planet to shepherd in stray comets and other bits of primordial leftovers. The habitable zone would also be much closer to the star. I'm not sure if this would decrease or increase the chances of impacts to rocky planets. I'm assuming it'd be an increase, since the overall amount of space for these planets to orbit in would be much smaller, but I don't know. Do we have any astronomers in here that can shed some light on this?

I'm right there with you, honey. Southern girl here! And it's ridiculous how fat everyone is. Two of my professors are obese (and every day is a struggle to not fly out of my desk and beat them until they STOP FUCKING MOUTHBREATHING LIKE WTF DOES YOUR NOSE NO LONGER WORK?!) A good handful of my coworkers are obese. And then, you know. Hambeasts spotted in the wild.
All day. Erryday.

I can run a mile at an 8 minute pace without opening my mouth.
[–] vegansdoitbetter ago
This is why they're so big, of course! By gulping in air through their mouths, they're taking in more, you see, which makes them bloat. It's not fat, but air retention! /s
(Also, I love your name <3 I'm channeling my own inner sith lord today: Black (fake) leather pants, black (fake) leather boots, Vader shirt, Star Wars "letterman" style jacket.)

I have heard fatties before I've seen them - multiple times. Were they in the middle of a run (lol)? Lifting big weights (lol)? NO. They were standing in line. How horrible is your life if you're wheezing just to exist? Just end it already. Ugh.
Edit: I've heard that vegans do it with veggies.
[–] vegansdoitbetter 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
We do all sorts of things with veggies (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But, yeah, my brother-in-law is a super fat (ughhhh) and we all went to the movies once and I had to sit beside him (ughhhhhhhhhhhh). CUE HEAVY BREATHING THE WHOLE FUCKING FILM. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. YOU'RE FUCKING SITTING. DOWN. STATIONARY. LIKE GODDAMN.

I'd say it's actually pretty convenient, there's LOTS of local fresh produce (at least in Alabama) since we have a lot of farms, and there's a big farmer's market mentality that we should 'buy local' (which just means get it from the local farmers around the area at farmer's markets). I'm from a wealthy suburb and I was still never more than a 15 minute drive from a good farmers market on any given day especially during the summer

I don't eat out often, so I normally fly under the radar ;)

Just give it time. Fats are like the Energizer Bunny (or Duracell bunny for you Brits). They keep growing and growing and growing.

It makes me so sad, but their pathetic health condishuns are job security for me. I wish there was a shitlord hospital where I could go and work and never, ever have to help another fucking crisco cunt.
[–] Itsforhismum ago (edited ago)

I was just in SF a couple of months ago.It was refreshingly low on the lard. Most of the sightings were FAF tourists. I particularly liked the crossing signals, set to full shitlord mode. You actually had to walk at a good pace to beat the light.

Move to Japan?
[–] FatSlingingSlasher 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Or Colorado

Fucking fatties are moving here by the truckload. In the past year or so I've noticed quite a few more tubbies. It sucks
[–] BloodFox 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
There are tons of other states that are more health conscious. No need to move so far.
[–] MathunBeag ago
But moving away won't fix the problem at home.
