That’s a lot of fucking honey!
Thank you! I thought I was taking crazy pills.
There is no such thing
No, honey definitely exists
But ‘fucking honey’?
I have terrible news

Honey is a lie told to us by the bees in order to trick us into building beehives for them
Bee movie was a documentary
You don’t enjoy a light snack of one slice of bread + a quarter cup of honey?
Given how filthy the ISS is, I don’t know if I’d want to eat anything not nuked into oblivion.
Why would it be filthy? It’s not like they get a lot of dirt out there
Imagine trying to clean it. You can’t whip out a mop. Showers, wash cycles etc are all no go. Not too mention experiments from plants, chemicals, drugs etc which create their own issues. In some ways it’s clean, but others not so much.
Dust comes from human skin flakes.
Part of it yes, but I’d assume they also clean there sometimes.
Part of it is I don’t know how skin particles will act inside a space station. Are there static electricity forces that would make it stick to surfaces, or does it remain suspended in air until the filtration gets to it?
Static electricity would definitely be a factor, but there’s probably pretty good air circulation and filtering. That combined with regular wipe downs of surfaces probably keeps dust under control.
I know the moon missions in the past had a hell of a time dealing with lunar dust. It’s super fine and static was sticking it to everything.
There a giant vacuum though.
Just open two opposite windows.
Well that didn’t work (windows outlook debacle).
Swallowing is a mechanical action done with your muscles; that’s how astronauts can eat and how you can eat or drink upside down if you were really wanting to.
Saw someone drinking a whole beer from a funnel while being being held upside down. People do this and I basically die when drinking a sip of water while lying in bed.
Maybe the issue is that you’re too horizontal? Try doing a handstand first.
And don’t forget the funnel.
Ever heard of a kegstand?
i think it’s about getting used to it.

Here you go, OP. Have fun. (open-access)
Gulping in.
Obviously they’ve never seen the Mr. Wizard’s World episode where they ate upside down.
Oh that’s interesting, I wonder if it’s easier to get heartburn in space? It’s common to need to sit upright to keep the acid down.
“bread”
I’m too lazy to find it now, but one of the tests they tried long before NASA started sending people into space was eating a banana upside down where they figured out the digestive tract can function against gravity.
There was also an encyclopedia brown story about this in which I remember Geese and Ducks rely on gravity to swallow, therefore they wouldn’t be able to eat in space.
They let that smarmy know it all shit into space? Bugs Meaney should have just kicked his ass.
I’ve just realised that because of my esophageal dysmotility I wouldn’t be able to eat in space.
you could set the spaceship in rotating motion, sothat the centripetal forces push you outwards and create the impression of artificial gravity for you.
besides, why does no spaceship seem to be doing this today, like, at all?
The centripetal force is provided by your legs (and the spokes of the centrifuge)
You’re looking for inertia or the fictitious force (which makes the calculations easier): centrifugal acceleration
Cause we have lots of places to do science with gravity, its nice to have a place to do science without it.
And hard to maintain the force without damaging the ship. We have small space stations and shuttles and they would need to rotate really fast to generate gravity similar to earth and that is taxing on the structure and you since your feet would have a lot more gravity than your head closer to the center of the circle.If you have seen project hail Mary that is why there is an extendable counter weight actually. It helps move the central point of the rotation further away from the astronaut and let’s it rotate slower and have more consistent force.
Is this a writing prompt about being left behind on a dying earth because you’d starve on your voyage to Mars?
Ehh. He could be “fed” via intravenous injections or a stomach bag
Do you jump up and down after each bite?
Also, no breakfast in bed?
What would a bee do in zero gravity?
A video of a bee in microgravity. https://youtu.be/SF-IuZwVWMU
That was underwhelming. Thank you anyway.
Probably bee things
Beelieve or not, fly.
Ask your mom!
sorry, I’ll see myself out.
This is the kind of question that fuels science.
