batkaren (a/k/a kt roth)Oh? We’re NOT the center of the universe, but our planetary gravitational pull is somehow conveniently 1G and our sun is 1 solar mass? Pretty big coincidence.
TheZorseAlso, what about all my first-world problems, huh? Huh?!
Philemon Vanderbeck@batkaren Not to mention that the average distance from Earth to the Sun is 1 astronomical unit.

And a pendulum a meter long swings exactly once a second, and a cubic centimeter of water weighs precisely one gram? I mean, come on!

All these things cannot be sheer coincidence. Clearly, there is an Intelligent Designer who designed the Universe just for us meatbags.
Phogna Bologna@philemonv @batkaren came here to say this! No matter where you are in the universe, one AU is still one AU
Rafael Pérez 🌱What's quite wonderful is that every Time Machine ever, has a built-in astronomical computer that computes the trajectory of this planet, around the local star, orbiting the center of the local galaxy, which is orbiting a galactic cluster, and adjusts spacetime travel coordinates, so we always end up on the same planet with its drama. Without it, we'd end up in the cold vacuum of space, gasp for breath for a few Earth moments, then explode from decompression. Thank FSM for computers!

It must be more than that. All these time machines must also be probing the future landscape before actually making the journey since no-one ever arrives inside a recently constructed wall or six feet underground or six feet in the air.

That's the spatial fine-tuning, using a known model of Earth, once you get a lock on Earth's position, at your intended time coordinates.

You’d think the Vogons would have a problem with this, but no space aliens have ever tried to correct us. This is the space equivalent of “The Gulf of America”.
Jeff GriggI still say that the Klingon war with the Federation was caused by our claim of "Universally Unique IDs" and standards when we had not even involved the other intelligences in this spiral arm of this galaxy.
Pretty tone deaf to call it the "Milky Way" galaxy when many aliens don't even know what milk is. And the 7-11s on their planet don't even stock that candy bar.
And almost none of the "alien" races are even "mammals" (or analogs).
"YUCK!" is generally their response, when our term "Milky Way Galaxy" is translated accurately.
Flaming Cheeto@batkaren and my legs are somehow *just* long enough to reach the ground? There are no coincidences.

Codey McCodeface@batkaren And our planet’s satellite is THE Moon? And our planet’s Ohio State University is THE Ohio State University??
Pianosaurus 🕴@batkaren This is like Douglas Adams' puddle, thinking how convenient it is that the hole fits it perfectly. The hole must have been made for it.

Not to mention we're the definition of both "habitable zone" AND "earth-like".
