That’s sun minus moon. Moon plus sun is a wildly more massive, nuclear furnace of a moon that also engulfs the earth.

- dcrazy 9mo agoThis thread reminds me of Scribblenauts, the game where you conjure objects to solve puzzles by describing them. I suspect it was an inspiration for Baba Is You.
- Der_Einzige 9mo agoScribblenauts was also an early precursor to modern GenAI/word embeddings. I constantly bring it up in discussions of the history of AI for this reason.
- veqq 9mo agoCould you explain? :3
- mcny 9mo agoWait so moon plus sun != sun plus moon? :Thinking:
- chii 9mo agocelestial objects don't need to obey algebraic commutativity!
- direwolf20 9mo agoI wonder if SCP-1313 does
- Auracle 9mo agoOr potentially a sun that lasts slightly longer?
- lkjdsklf 9mo agoHere i was, like an idiot, thinking it was moon light
- fsckboy 9mo ago>Moon plus sun is a wildly more massive, nuclear furnace of a moon that also engulfs the earth. i just looked up mass of sun vs mass of moon (they differ by 10^30 vs 10^20), and the elemental composition of the sun: the moon would entirely disappear into the insignificant digits of trace elements which are in the range of .01 % of the sun. I could be off by orders of magnitude all over the place and it would still disappear.
- SauntSolaire 9mo agoReminds me of this AI word combination game recently shared on HN, with almost exactly these mechanics: https://neal.fun/infinite-craft/ https://neal.fun/infinite-craft/ For the record, Sun+Moon is indeed eclipse.
- tessierashpool9 9mo agobut then eclipse + moon = sun, which doesn't make much sense either :/
- spacedcowboy 9mo agoNot sure about that. You can't have an eclipse without both the moon and the sun. Ergo, the eclipse is the totality (sorry!) of the sun and moon, or sun+moon (+very specific boundary conditions). Still think it was a good response :)
