Why would it need to approach the Sun?

That's a good one.

I don’t know how to react.

This makes me sad 😢

Siiiiigh

Is that with Eric Clapton?

Black hole sun,
Won't you run?

I imagine it’s like a gogurt but just has bacon grease in it

It's a parody of a once very popular song but, owing to the way I slapped it together and the age of the song in question, I'm not surprised you didn't know.

I also feel terribly terribly old...

Ever heard of Wings?

Is this a song ?

Breaking: Gov Abbot blames meteor strike in Texas for letting in more illegal immigrants AND shutting down the power grid. Demands Biden personally come and clean up the mess.

Well, the singularity exploded with a mighty crash as a sun fell into it

And the event horizon said to the second one there, "I hope you're having fun."

Black hole on the run.

Black hole on the run.

And the gravity from everything fell into every one.

For the black hole on the run.

Black hole on the run.

Absolutely true but I'll take the uninformed existential anxiety for more space missions.

But it wasn't 1000 pounds at that point.

The title makes it seem like a 1000 pound asteroid hit the ground but it didn't.

No, that was the super saiyans returning from namak with the dragons’ balls… hehe

How is an entirely passive instrument a flashlight?

The star sphere is the name for the ancients’ earth-centric concept of the “realm of the stars,” a sphere with the earth at its midpoint, the night sky, the cosmos.

Personally, I think it would be a pretty cool name for a spaceship.

Okay, I was taking "context matters" for granted, but apparently I shouldn't have.

"Falcon". Obviously that word already has a definition and a different one, so that fits my previous complaint. But the difference is that in that case there's no ambiguity. It's a perfectly fine name, I personally think it sounds great and goes well with the object. I love it. Now, if a new species of bat was discovered and it was named "Black Falcon" or something like that, I would say that's fucking stupid, because in that context the name becomes confusing.

Meanwhile Starship has connotations related to space travel that make it evoke false notions in that context, in the same way that calling something that is not spherical a "star sphere" would evoke a false notion because yeah, you call something a sphere, people will expect to see a sphere in pretty much any context.

Wombat. Weird ass name for it. Not very good, in my opinion. But no one will expect a wombat. It would create no ambiguity. But finding a new bear species and calling it "great wombat" would be weird. This kinda thing happens sometimes, and it's always pointed out that this or that name is actually a misnomer that sparks misconceptions. Usually, though, they happen by accident, because of lack of knowledge, people assume two animals are more closely related than they actually are, or that an animal behaves a certain way when it doesn't.

You say "starship" and people will think something very different to what this is, because context matters. This is either stupid and short-sighted or malicious and deceptive. Either way I don't like it.
