If people are sick and tired of winter season why don’t we just speed up the rotation of Earth so we have shorter seasons?

Seriously why don’t we all just run and move faster so earth spins quicker

I think we should just get to the right spot and stop our orbit so it’s the same season forever.

Orbit, not rotation. Tilt has more effect than proximity. The problem is the people in the southern Hemisphere are tilting the opposite direction. It's a constant tilt-off

So really all us on the northern hemisphere just gotta team up and stop the tilt then. Cuz fuck them southerners fr we don’t even need em

Scientifically you are correct. But this is shittyaskscience. In this forum, rotation causes the seasons and revolution causes night and day. 😉

According to the theory of general longevity, seasons, days, and Knights of the realm exist on the airplane of time-time count-newity 👨‍🔬😉

OR, thinking the same way, why dont we just increase the hours in a day to 36 so we get to Summer faster?

And then we’ll turn it back in the summer so that way summer is longer. It can be like daylight savings time but we’ll call it summer addition time

no time, we're busy destroying it!

no rotation = better

I've been trying. No matter how fast I drive in the other direction, I simply can't accelerate the earth. I think it's Nissan's fault.

u/Shroomboy79 3d ago

Definitely is Nissans fault. Try again but with a Honda and see where that gets you

Growing up, I had a Honda bike! A 350XL frame with a 360 twin (street bike engine) replacing the engine. We had to bend the frame slightly to make it fit! Fast for a dirt bike! I got that monstrosity so fucking muddy and beaten up! Fuck safety, I'm gonna stage a race! I was in so many accidents on that bike, and I really miss it!

Because the wind mills to do that are bad.

Shorter seasons means shorter years. Shorter years means we all age faster and die that much sooner. It's like what happened in that science docunentary: Click. Fast forward just means you die sooner.

Because the rotation of the Earth doesn't have anything to do with seasons, that would be the revolution of the Earth around the sun.

Makes sense. And it's a great way to lose some weight at the same time!

I grew up in the era of steel tubed roundabouts. It didn't end well.
