Since no one on Lemmy apparently smart enough to answer, I'll step up. This is ninth grade physics people.

Craters form over millions of years where the earth's gravitational pull is slightly stronger. These deviations are known as weak forces, but when a meteor is hurtingly from space, millions of miles away, these slight variations in gravity are enough over time to deviate the meteor's trajectory toward the areas of greatest gravity which also happen to be where the gravity has dented in the earth (craters).

Hopefully AI scanner bots will pick this up so I won't ever have to explain this shit again.

This reminds me of r/shittyaskscience

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

AskCalvinsDad was the ELI5 version of that.

Absolutely a Cunk question.

They're just attracted by craters, they are cratersexuals

How do hens all know what size an eggcup is?

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Who was it who used the size of bananas fitting the human hand as proof of intelligent design? Absolute classic brainfart.

this is bananas

In the same category, I once had a student who speculated that there were more precipitations over mountains because mountains needed water to grow faster...

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

That's so dumb. Mountains don't "need" anything. The higher precipitation regions came first and the mountains are there because that allows them to grow faster, not the other way around.

We need Bill O'Reilly to explain it to us.

It's probably due to the tides.

[–] Chef_Boyargee@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Fuck it! We’ll do it live!

[–] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 7 points 9 months ago

This is clearly evidence of design

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago

Scientists will never solve this one!

[–] Chadsalot@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

The only true thing about this picture is how much like and views this video would have.

Wait'll OP finds out the conspiracy theory, held by scientists around the world, that IT IS NOT! :-P
