  • You get to be one of todays lucky 10 thousand!

    It’s one of those holdover things a good number internet old webcomics do, including the linked XKCD. It’s one of those things that’s effortless with your traditional mouse-keyboard desktop setup, because you hover your mouse and magically the alt-text appears without having to really find it. But for new users in the touch screen era? As you say, yeah, definitely obtuse. :)













  • There would likely be some extreme vortexes especially in the accretion disk. The pressure differences would absolutely create a suction effect.

    It’s all probably as negligible as legs on a cow to astrophysicists but I would reckon on its own (without the umpteen solar masses of gravity distorting your results), at human scale I would estimate that it “fucking sucks”.

    Pure speculation on my part.
