Yeah, but do they have hookers with three breasts? Otherwise, I'm not going.
Colonizing Mars exposed the colonists to mutagenic radiation, causing people born on Mars to have birth defects (and psychic abilities). They weren't native Martians, so the three booby lady won't exist until we send people there.
Fun fact, the Earth has a magnetosphere that protects us from radiation, and Mars does not. So it is very likely that Martian colonists would experience higher rates of cancer, birth defects, and sterility even with physical shielding.
But also, even if a human were to grow a third booby, it would probably be above or below one of the normal boobies, along a vertical line called the "milk line." A third medial booby is, medically speaking, unlikely.

If anyone's curious, this is called "polythelia" or "supernumerary nipple" (SFW - seriously). Per the wiki, it's WAY more common than you'd probably expect, but they tend to go underreported bc people think they're just a mole.
Runs in my family, from my father's side.
Genetics are weird af.
Why a third boob when you could have a full Kuato?
Better yet, do they make me wish I had three hands?
You're doing fine with two.
"blah blah blah it's paper mache, I don't care!"
To me personally, settling mars has nothing to do with colonialism, or capitalism, or hookers and blackjack. It's about the fact that humanity is like a steam engine, and somebody threw too much coal into that thing. Now it's cooking hot, and one way to keep it from exploding is to "release steam" (in a metaphorical sense). That means, settling off to some other planet.
Is it really world news if it didn't happen on this world?
You're right. This belongs in Solar System News.
It happened on a world. 🤷🏻♂️
Mars is a world, it was never specified which world this community is about.
It is this world, just not this planet
That's generally what "world" means
I was in the impression that it's a much wider category
It's possible to use it to refer to a non-planet region (bigger or smaller) in a more general sense, but I wouldn't say that's the most common usage.
I guess it's like german "Realität"/"Wirklichkeit" (both meaning reality).
I understand "Realität" (reality) to mean something "real", like something touchable. Language, and literature are not "real" to me. They're "wirklich", but not "real".
The analysis revealed reservoirs of water at depths of about six to 12 miles (10 to 20km) in the Martian crust.
The deepest man-made hole on earth is 8 miles deep.
Would a deeper hole be easier to create on Mars due to the lower planetary mass? I would assume so.
Yeah, but the drill bit would need to be 140 million miles long just to reach Mars.
Nah just a 10 mile long pole, strong enough to break through planetary geological plates in a straight on blow, thrown really really really fast from earth.
If you don't care how long it takes to get there and can effectively use the ITN you don't even need to leave going that fast.
Side thought, all I can think of now is developing the technology to accelerate the rotation of some of these ITN "slingshot" planets to speeds where they become giant versions of those hotwheels motorized launcher tracks.
IIRC the problem was the ambient temp that deep being too hot causing mechanical failures. It's hard to dispose of waste heat when you have to pump it miles away.
You could probably drill much deeper into Mars before encountering that issue, though, since its molten rock is significantly deeper than Earth’s.
As soon as I saw the thumbnail, my mind immediately said "LAONG LAONG MAAAAN"
What about the Well to Hell? How else would we have 100% concrete iron-clad proof that Satan exists?

ROCK AND STONE, YEEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!
For Karl!
Dropped me bloody keys in there!
We're rich!
This time it's aliens for sure guys
Huffs copium
The ACK intensifies.
I wouldn't drink the waters of Mars.

Oh great. Now the big corps can remove all the water and sell it to the people, at a massive profit ofc.
Capitalism wins again. \O/
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
