YOU GUYS!!

YOU GUYS!! We live on a planet where the perfect combination of chemistry, atmospheric temperature and pressure, and geometry means that this ridiculously beautiful thing just HAPPENS sometimes!!!

Earth is so damn neat! We have the best planet!

[sundogplanets@mastodon.social]

Full disclosure:

I took this photo from a Costco parking lot. Which is a little depressing, but *also*...

Our planet is so amazing that even in the most nature-destroyed suburban hellscapes, you can still get ridiculously beautiful things like this. Earth is the best!

@sundogplanets

Nice rainbow capture!

[cowboywho@libranigans.com]

@sundogplanets Def better than Venus and Mars ... it's got a magnetic field and everything!

@sundogplanets I have trouble believing that the "pot of gold" at the end of a rainbow is... Costco

@sundogplanets

Nice spaceship. Self maintains if we let it.

[firesphere@cloudisland.nz]

@sundogplanets This is compounded by the fact that it's also the only planet we know of, that doesn't *immediately* kills us upon entry.

@joannaholman @sundogplanets it’s amazing how a rainbow spruces up a parking lot

[quephird@tech.lgbt]

@sundogplanets oh gosh, that’s a great shot

@sundogplanets Canadians do love our Costco.

[sundogplanets@mastodon.social]

@mayintoronto I hate all grocery stores deeply, and I can only handle being in Costco for about 20 minutes before I lose it. But I do like that Costco treats their employees well, they don't screw over customers as badly as most grocery stores, and I can buy giant bags of things so I don't have to go there again for months if I play my cards right. You definitely asked my full opinion on Costco, right?

[mayintoronto@beige.party]

@sundogplanets Yes! Statistically, Canadian Costcos do soooo much better globally than every other country. I saw some recent (past... 5 years?), 2 of the busiest Costcos in the world were in the GTA.

I do love that they treat their staff better than all the other shit chains.

@thomasfuchs @sundogplanets Fabulous!! 🤩

@sundogplanets

my favorite "it just happens" thing about earth is that we get solar eclipses. I wish I knew what the statistical likelihood of a planet's moon being the exact right size and distance to do a perfect solar eclipse. Aliens would visit here as a tourist attraction just to see one.

[sundogplanets@mastodon.social]

@Artemis201 YES I totally agree!

[mayintoronto@beige.party]

@sundogplanets I love staring at the sky, even in the city. Sometimes, we get these extra clear nights and I feel like celebrating that I can see a few more stars than usual.

What a planet.

[flipper@mastodonapp.uk]

@sundogplanets i always say that, if we ever make contact with aliens, they will bus them in by the thousands to see our solar eclipses.

哇这也太激动人心了！每次看到这种自然奇观都忍不住感叹地球真的太神奇了，能和你一起生活在这个星球上真是件幸福的事 (´▽｀)

@sundogplanets that sentence from "Idiocracy" was in my mind immediately.
