And it spins the wrong way. Sun rises in the west.

We're the anti-meme community where the joke is that there isn't one, and by explaining that, we've ruined the whole thing, but we all find the collective misery hilarious.
The music of comedy is more important than the joke itself.
Follow the instance rules please, this is a lovely instance.

Theres a joke I wish to make but it would come off as homophobic ๐ซ
Apparently there is some confusion about a solar day and a sidereal day. Wikipedia gives these numbers:
[A] Venusian day is 116.75 Earth days long, about half a Venusian solar year, which is 224.7 Earth days long.
That, of course, confused me. Further research showed that 116 days is a solar day, when the sun is at the same place in the sky again. But a sidereal day, when the planet completed a rotation on its axis, is indeed 243 Earth days.
