Reddit is not a complex interface, by any means. Reddit is a content curation website that is organised into a variable number of finite and discreet subforums on the basis of topics.

These subforums are called subreddits, and each one contains a set of rules and moderators. The rules for each subreddit can be found on the posting tray and within the subreddit sidebars (which can be found in the "about" section, which can be accessed by interfacing with the name or image attributed to a given subreddit).

If you follow the rules of whichever subreddit you are active in then it is unlikely that users will attribute your behaviour to that of an automated robot.

>It’s not very intuitive that the world is flat.

I guess history isn’t a strong point either.

>Some physics I don’t know enough about to have intuition on it.

Seems like you dint know enough about physics fullstop if you think evidence is unimportant and gut instinct is enough.

>I know what I know.

You believe what you believe. Knowledge entails a quality of justification. ‘Feels’ is neither evidence nor justification.

It’s not very intuitive that the world is flat. Some physics I don’t know enough about to have intuition on it. I know what I know.

Yeah, but I'll be concerned for the colonists. That low gravity there is really bugging me.

Numerous military commanders throughout history have landed a force with ships, and then destroyed the ships to eliminate any option of retreat. You might not prevent people centuries down the line from rebuilding communications equipment or spacecraft to go back to Earth, but you could make it so there's nothing there to go back to...

A-a, am... are you interested :D

Well lets say it's OK if the colony is outside the SS, it's a generational ship traveling to Proxima or Sirius. Wouldn't they be able to communicate just like we are in contact with the Voyager probes?

You can perceive it however you want I’m just telling you what it is.

Have a climate change on Earth, so mankind dies out.

Deep space orbit. Something like Halleys Comet. Though "not contacting Earth" would be very difficult out to the nearest star as radiowaves can always phone home.

Your need it powered by fission or fusion.

Are you going to create a master race out there?

Place the colony on the outward facing side of the Moon.

A base on Europa or Enceladus built under the ice. There are some mission concepts that use nuclear reactors to gradually melt ice underneath the spacecraft (which freezes above the craft) and the craft will gradually descend closer to the hypothesized subsurface ocean. I think it would be really hard to send a signal through several miles of ice, but as far as a colony goes, there aren't really any other power sources than what you bring with you, so the colony would kind of be screwed when their uranium ran out.

Right. If we took this picture the sky would have an orange haze and only one star-- whoops that was just an airplane.

Wouldn't work. There are tons of probes and satellites around the solar system that could be used to relay a message.

Most direct solution is to yeet them out of the solar system on a path that continually increases the distance between them and Earth. I think?

Edit: I can't read I guess so if they have to stay in the SS, you'd have to put them in a shadow somehow to minimize line of sight with Earth I guess.

well theoretically you could shoot them to Pluto because of the distance and the real lack of ability to slow down once you get there. meaning any ships from earth would just fly past it too quickly for any meaningful convosation. And make sure you don't send anyone with any type of rocket building skills and you'll probably have an independent colony for a fair while.

Oh, we missed the most obvious solution, destroy Earth.

That’s a really interesting concept but that’s too close and an alternate space ship or telescope could communicate with it - no?

Kessler syndrome the Lagrange 4 and 5?
