    Not shown: Jupiter occasionally tearing one apart and strewing its innards all around or abducting random passerbys and eating them.

        If I’m not mistaken, Luna is the only moon of same stone and lava as it’s parent planet. Charon, too, maybe?

          The verdict is still out on the formation of Earth’s only natural satellite, the Moon. But yes, it may be mostly composed of ejecta from Earth after it collided and merged with another protoplanet.

          Ever heard of black humor? Their comment is intentionally heavy to create a clash in the reader’s expectations.

      I was going to say, just like the god it’s named after, but I guess it was Saturn who ate babies.

        Who amongst us haven’t snacked on some infant from time to time? Amirite, fellow atheists?

          I’d expect that more from Catholics. They do the whole “body of Christ,” thing

            I had a good reply to this comment, but an anonymous mod deleted it for being “adult content/inappropriate”.

            Apparently it’s fine to joke about literally consuming the flesh of infants, but alluding in a lighthearted and completely SFW way to the fact that the catholic church is amongst other things a factory that produces pedophiles is verboten 🤦

              I managed to read that before it was removed. No sense of humor

                  Of course. Lol.

                  They’re not actually violating "free speech,’ it just feels like it, cause we’re used to having to deal with massive corporations, doing a fairly effective job at trying to control everything, especially the free flow of information.

                  Bit of a shame really. I’m pretty certain that most of our users would support the right to free speech, but I also suspect that most, like me, don’t want to have to host their own instance so that rogue mods can’t run roughshod over our ability to communicate
