I find that fascinating and am amazed how it's stayed lit so long.

Quoted from Phat_Jay:Yes, there is a molten core. Bugs bunny confirmed this decades ago....
Bugs could also dig through the Earth from the U.S. and end up in China in a matter of seconds.

Lol so true

On a more serious/related note, did you guys ever notice that hydrogen is in the same class of elements as all the alkali metals, even though hydrogen is a nonmetal? It’s because it has the same electron orbital configuration as alkali metals do, and in the core of giant planets like Saturn or Jupiter, it’s compressed so tightly, that the hydrogen becomes metallic.

Every time I have that conversation with my girlfriend's cat she tells me I don't know how to play with the cat. I try and tell her this is why I am a dog person.
So what do we post next? Dog or cat pictures?

I remember when I was a kid, the phrase about digging a hole all the way to China. It turns out, if I could dig the hole, I'd come up at the bottom of the Indian Ocean! https://www.antipodesmap.com/

Quoted from branlon8:See here’s what I just don’t get. Say I start digging a hole like Bugs. I’m digging dowwards, below my feet. So when I get to China am I arriving feet first or head first ?
Head first cuz when you get the the center you will have to start digging up.
Quoted from FatPanda:What? The earth is flat, so therefore, there is no core

I was considering starting a spin off of this topic, was gonna call it: "The exterior of the earth is a crispy crust"
I do prefer crispier things over molten ones. . . unless its the center of a lava cake.

How bout "What's the proper etiquette when trying to quietly dig to the Earth's molten core?"
Quoted from RCA1:The question is "Does Uranus have a molten core?
I understand Uranus is very gaseous.
Quoted from whthrs166:Maybe cause we all hang out at the Rear End Lounge...
And I thought it was a matter of probing the universe for answers to life's questions. . .
Apparently Uranus's core may contain Methane.
Hey people that like the butt thing are usually super clean about everything. Enemas and Super clean stuff, "amateurs are messy" said someone. Not to get personal but my first college girlfriend would only use the back door because she didn't want to worry about pregnancy and really liked it, so I WAS SPOILED and have been denied over the last 15 years (from the proper channels).

So like Alkali Lake, where Wolverine got his upgrade? 
Quoted from TractorDoc:How is it so many of these threads always come back to Uranus?
I'm still trying to figure out how the real deal ended up in the basement instead of the serious section.

I'm guessing it was around the time you decided to add a pole.
