Yes. Therefore Earth would not "fall towards the ball" and therefore it isn't falling faster

It does change the vector, yes, but to such a small amount that it does not become pointed at a ball.

You can substitute static friction with a gravitational pull of the sun, and the result is going to be the same as in fridge example

If not himself then he has naught

No, it isn't. Because earth wouldn't fall towards the ball. Why?

Go to your frige right now and try to push it with one finger. It doesn't move does it? You may say "That's because of static friction!" And you would be correct. The force of static friction. Because the object moves in the direction of vector sum of all forces.

Tap for spoiler(In the example with fridge the static friction force cancels all other forces up to certain value and after that - motion)

And adding microscopic attraction force towards the ball absolutely doesn't change the full vector sum of forces, that are applied to Earth constantly (which is probably pointed towards the sun).

I don't want to say that it is easy, because it is actuall effort you have to put in, but moderating a community, especally if it is very niche and small is not that hard.

I can understand people not wanting to do some stuff, but I much more respect "I don't want to modding so I make a community and ask someone to be with me on a mod team when stuff is going to get overwhelming, and focus on other stuff within community" than "I dont want to do modding so I'm going to just sit there and wait while other people do it for me"

That's so cool! Thank you for sharing!

"I'm in this picture and I don't like it"

Yes! It is worth a try!

As @[email protected] said in a comment here, we can use general communities to find "biomass needed" to populate small communities

Although I can see the point you are making, and I agree to some extent. I still think it is better to try

 
 

there's no communities for my niche interests!!!

more like "i want a ready-made community where other people already putting effort into posting cool and intersting stuff, and all I want to do is sit on my ass and shower posts generously with """muh upvotes™""""

 
 
 
 
 
 

There are 1.65 trillion barrels of proven oil reserves in the world as of 2016.

The world has proven reserves equivalent to 46.6 times its annual consumption levels. This means it has about 47 years of oil left (at current consumption levels and excluding unproven reserves).

This means that the oil is going to run out in our lifetime

Source/more reading: https://www.worldometers.info/oil/

Update: It is infact not true (or just partially true), because it only considers already known oil reserves that can be pumped out with current technology.

There is more oil that can potentially be used as technology and infrastructure advances, so the estimate of 50 years is wrong.

For the correction thanks to [email protected] (their original comment)
