MODERATORS
By now just the entire planet.
Billionaires and Right wingers around the world.
The republican party. Aka modern day fascists.
Maybe the DNC and establishment neoliberals too, who ushered in fascism.

Oh, please, you know exactly who my answers are.
the worlds top 40 wealthiest people.
Another blackhole
Pasta dough.
One of those infinitely long, perfectly rigid, incompressible, conductive rods I read so much about while I was trying to learn the stuff you need to know before you can start studying black holes
I'd throw in the post below
Every person in the world with a net worth over $1B USD. Then I'd equally reallocate their money across every human on earth.
Rather than re-allocating their money across every human on earth, why not allocate it inversely proportional to the net worth of the recipient (and maybe also local currency conversion rate), to uplift the poorest folks?
Could probably choose a lower number, too - say, $100M. Nobody needs anywhere remotely close to that.
The economics of unlucky Mario Party spaces
I just realized that the realty market always runs a drought to up its sale price. Also, since homeless also don’t have housing, there’s an even greater housing shortage than just those seeking to move into a “forever home.”

The snail
Head of the Italian Senate Ignazio Benito La Russa

Not exhaustive but a good start

Greed
The Unsellable Elephant that thw other guy just got on his weird application survey question.
$1 for good luck
Another black hole. I just wanna see what happens you know?
They just merge. They're just really really dense concentrations of mass-energy, not extradimensional portals.
- really dense. ✅
- concentrations of mass ✅
- not extra dimensional portal ✅
you just described my ex
Myself to see what's all the fuss is about.
The Sarlac pit might be a blessing since the Mandalorian suggests you could escape, but a blackhole… that’d suck.
The human compulsion to invent religions.
Not much, as I understand it it's as difficult, if not more difficult to actually enter a black hole, as it is to throw something into the sun. Literally easier to just fling it out into the cosmos.
Why?
You have to shed the inertia you already have to fall into the sun. The difference is about 30km/s or 108,000 km/h to slow down enough. The rotational plane of the solar system can be used to speed you up to escape velocity, especially with a slingshot off one of the giants, so it requires a lot less fuel.
Oh right
10^52 electrons
Jokes on you, the universe only has one extremely busy electron.
Republicans.
A probe.
Just toss in a rock, it’d have the same result.
