Why do we view the earth as 1692764417027.png ? Why don't we view the earth as 1692764443996.png ? Who says the arctic has to be at the top, while the antarctic is at the bottom ? We sometimes refer to those in the southern hemisphere as "down-under", but why aren't we in the northern hemisphere the ones down-under ? If aliens approached our planet from space, would they cruise in viewing the earth as in image #1 ? Or, would we tell them, "Hey, you're coming in upside-down ! " And while we're at it, why are heads always at the top of the body ? Maybe those aliens would have heads right above their legs, and their stomach, heart, and all the other guts would be at the top of their body.

I am FAR from a marijuana connoisseur. I took ONE hit in the 7th grade and never cared to do it again.
I could sell my piss on ebay....

6th & 7th grade I was living in Turkey.... Didn't see any weed, but I saw bricks of hash & raw opium.... Never touched any of it but it was readily available...
 
But why hasn't anyone wondered which brand of sneaker lasts the longest?
Skechers?
Nike?
New Balance?

And how would you measure?
Miles?
Steps?
Hourmeter?

Asking for a friend.

Easy, you use what every toolbox should have in it: a Sneakometer. And, by the way the winner would be one of two brands: P F Flyers, or Keds. 1692790452498.png1692790556759.png
 
There is no "up" or "down" in space.

Only towards or away from a gravitational mass.
