FUTURAMA Season 6 Episode 8 REACTION! | That Darn Katz!

[@spaceshiplewis]

It's nice to see when the writers remember that Amy's actually pretty smart.

[@gurvmlk]

Going through the series, it does kind of feel like they completely dropped Amy being Farnsworth's intern, as mentioned in the second episode, until this one. Almost like they were in the board room trying to come up with new episode ideas, when suddenly one of the writers was like, "What was the reason for Amy working at Planet Express, again?" And then they just kind of remembered what they'd spent years neglecting.

Soon the world will come to a stop, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. The stopping of the world, that is. It's unstoppable. Excuse me.

I hate you. Take my like.

Fweeble it’s fwooby pwow!

According to the old Superman movie, time should be going backwards now :p

I hope we see more episodes in the upcoming second Hulu Season with unlikely characters teaming up. I enjoyed the Bender and Hermes team up and this one with Amy and Nibbler.

[@maxdon2001]

Great reaction!

4:09 You'll never look at cat anuses the same way again!

[@kodyneal9643]

This is by far the weirdest episode but man was it funny

[@Alan_Hero]

Nibbler! You can talk! 😮

[@Sharkman25]

Correct me if I wrong, but if the earth rotated the wrong way, wouldn’t it very bad for the planet?

[@leok7193]

No, why would it? As long as rotation speed is the same, there's no real difference, except sunrise and sunset are in opposite directions

[@radekc5325]

In the long run it would slowly push the Moon inwards rather than away, but I don't think it would matter in the time scales before the Sun dies.

[@leok7193]

@@radekc5325 according to what concept? If relative speed doesn't change, neither should mass and gravitational force

[@radekc5325]

@@leok7193 Earth and Moon try to get each other tidally locked. Right now, their spins are in the same direction but the Moon goes slower (28 days vs 1 day) so what happens is that the Moon's tidal forces slow Earth's rotation down (to the target of 28 day period). However, total angular momentum needs to remain the same, so as Earth slows its spin, Moon receives that angular momentum and moves faster (in terms of orbital speed, not period). Faster orbit is higher orbit, so Moon's orbit is being raised by that process. Now, if Earth was rotating in the opposite direction, they would still try to get each other tidally locked - but starting from the other end: the Earth's spin would still be slowing down (with the same target: reverse it and then get it to 28 days forward), and the Moon would still capture any angular momentum taken from Earth. But this time, the extra angular momentum captured this way would be the opposite of before, and therefore would slow the Moon down in its orbit. Slower orbit is lower orbit, so the Moon would be dragged closer by that process. tl;dr: the process that is currently raising the orbit of the Moon would be reversed.

[@leok7193]

@@radekc5325 Fun. so then in theory this would also affect the orbit around the sun, although it seems like the effect of the rotational momentum is small enough that the larger the bodies involved, the more negligible it becomes

[@Maswartz226]

I do hate that they retconned the pyramids. In the original series aliens said ancient egypt inspired them as a subversion of the whole "aliens built monuments" thing and now it's playing that straight.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

Shame.

[@leok7193]

Cats could've visited that world too

[@spencergreen9415]

The cats came up with the pyramids but those other aliens copied it.
