gollark: The weather should be under the control of a UN committee, not the moon. The moon is inscrutable, uncontrollable and may decide to damage the weather at *any moment*.
gollark: > 1. lets us see in the nightThis can easily be replaced with "torch" or "streetlight" technology. Alternatively, replace the moon with a giant mirror or directional light system.> 2. Keeps the earth spinning moreIt does not.> 3. Makes tides, which can create free energyNuclear is cooler anyway.> 4. Where the fuck would we put all the moon parts when we blow it upEither convert them to a nice ring, which will look really cool, or just move them to Jupiter or something. Or possibly use them to build tastefully decorated affordable housing.> 5. It costs money to buy explosivesWe could crowdfund the lunar destruction project.
gollark: I hope transistors are restored soon.
gollark: <@462202902031761418> Don't play background music on your website. It is annoying and probably half the reason *why* autoplay is blocked. You probably can't bypass it in modern browsers because a lot of effort has been put in place to make it that way.
