and the world would be a much better place if EU morons spent more time actually studying rather than sitting around getting high by zapping their parietal lobe with a cattle prod or something else which would explain the stupidity that emerges from those beliefs.

After looking up what the parietal lobe does and functions I am extremely angry(not at anyone here). Who in gods Quintilianth dimension thought that could possibly be a good idea?

Friendly, Helpful Advice: Start thinking critically about what you're reading.

"Fucking magnets, how do they work?"

[Starver]

Magnetism doesn't make stars shine, but electric discharges do, of course...  (Also carves out craters on the Moon, rather than asteroid impacts. And electricity powers our laptops, so of course it powers our universe.)

Oh Armok no, not EU. Please tell me...

...just to make sure, is this electrical or magnetic? The former is utterly nonsensical (neutral charges for all known macroscopic naturally-occuring celestial bodies), the latter is at least hypothetically possible.

Also, the Earth formed in about 10-100 million years. It's been roughly 4.4 billion years since, and that has nothing to do with the ETA of Andromeda. (Also, no stars will actually collide; there'll just be a bunch of stars strewn about, and then life goes on and the galaxies go their own way, somewhat slower than before.)

Yes, I mean magnetic.

...what?

Starver is engaging in troll logic there to joke, ipsil

I'm aware, though wouldn't be surprised if that's some of their actual viewpoints.

It is. It actually is. For certain subsets, depending on which rabbitholes their various Alices favour.

Getting the bigger stuff out of orbit is great and all, but what about the tiny stuff, especially the too-small-to-track stuff?

[Max™]

We're whalers on the moon, we carry a harpoon, and we wait what?

Small stuff makes me wonder if anybody has ever uttered the term "laser sieve" before?

[Eric Blank]

No, but now that you mention it...

I like this idea. I wonder how long it will take before a bit of debris coincidentally severs the tether though. Murphys law and all that :v

[Starver]

If something severs the tether it would be a bother but then another clever reliever endeavor will cover with a duumvir (waiting aquiver and uncleavered as it properly outmanoevers the river of blether without error) to deliver the favour as saviour to force come-hither the fractured slivers, no longer together, of the brother striver and driver through the outer aether beyond our more airy set o' weather.
