  • I’m not a physicist by any means, but I would hypothesize that the slowest way would be to somehow get the object into a slowly decaying, nearly-geostationary orbit around Earth, closer than the Lagrange point between Earth and the Moon. Eventually its orbit will decay enough that it will just fall into our atmosphere somewhat “straight down”, making it a matter of calculating the object’s terminal velocity.

    I’ll probably be wrong about many things here, but it’ll be interesting to learn when someone corrects me.





  • At my first job I worked at a local grocery store as a cashier. Normally the store owner would have a playlist of modern pop that would loop at least once per 8hr shift, and he’d change up the playlist every few months. This sucked a lot, but at the time I didn’t know how much worse it would get.

    On the closing shift on Halloween night, he started playing his Christmas CD. It was 80 minutes long. On repeat. Nonstop. Until halfway into January. To this day I refuse to listen to any Christmas music at all because fuck that.
