The Pitters' Place

but you have to buy it yourself.

The text is too small/blurry to read, but it seems to say something is "not to scale" at the bottom... isn't the whole point for it to be to scale?

NO!

Jupiter's Great Red Spot is shown in the northern hemisphere when it should be in the southern hemisphere.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!

Liszt and Whitey think there's an error but when they tell everybody what the error is it will turn out that the only error is they don't understand the chart.

Don't see a flaw. There might be a flaw in the text but most of it is too small to read.

It says it shows a list of planets and dwarf planets, yet it shows the Earth's moon which is neither.

The sun shouldn't have a shadow under it. It's the fucking sun, for fuck's sakes.

LOL

If showing the moon is the answer then these two need to be banned from this site.

Only after I get my cookie, though.

It's missing one known dwarf planet, Makemake, but the chart was probably made before Makemake was discovered. The relative size of the objects in the middle is correct, the relative size of the objects on the left is correct, the relative size of the objects on the right is correct. Liszt and Whitey missed the fact that the left side is increased 24x while the right size is only increased 4x so the two sides aren't supposed to be compared.

It seems to me that the ones on the right are quite a bit bigger than 4x the ones in the middle, though. Like, that Jupiter is not four times bigger than that other Jupiter.

It looks correct to me, it should be 4x both horizontally and vertically and it looks right.

Nevermind, I have no idea what I'm talking about. I was thinking, like, volume and stuff. The shadows are throwing me off.

Yeah, I'm still going with somebody missed the 24x for the left and 4x for the right. Then I'm going to make fun of them for a year or two.

Although actually since the actual planets are three-dimensional the ratios should be measured in volume and not length/width. It used the wrong scales. There, I just found another flaw. I think.

I mean diameter, not length/width.

I think I'm being dumb. I don't remember geometry crap.

Bruce already got it

Um, Gendo, we need some rules for banning people.

You're right. I think we should ban the pig farmer. What use is a pig farmer on the board if we aren't getting any free bacon?

I have to concur.

This thread reminded me why Bruce is one of my favorites. That pottymouth bastard!

A shadow on a picture? They might have well said all the shadows are errors because there's no explanation for a planet to be casting a shadow into the open space directly at its geographic south pole. They would have been better off if I had been right and they missed the 24x and 4x and then said "Um guys, earth isn't bigger than Neptune and Uranus." This is what we get for having too many foreigners on this board.

I still want to know what it says at the bottom about something being not to scale.

Dude, that's why this "riddle" or whatever is funny. Because it's dumb. So you look at it and look at it and waste your time with it until someone says "shadow man". It's good trolling.

Ok, but both of my flaws are actual flaws. You can say whatever you want. I won this thread. Twice.

Guatemalans with opinions, who allowed that shit?

Uranus is too small
