We were on the other side of the Milky Way 300 million years ago (well partly).

Also the Milky Way was in a different part of the universe.

And spacetime, the entire universe, was somewhat smaller.
I always read the earth is spinning slower on its axis now than it was before. And the Moon is moving away at 1 inch per year. That changes things.

That explains why workdays seem so long these days.

Yeah also the continents are drifting all over. So you're on a different part of the actual globe of the earth.

Yeah, that is one of the cooler bits of tectonic lore... when they automate it and you can see the Indian sub-continent smash into Asia above and push up the Himalayas.

Fairly recently too. I want to say the Himalayas continue to be pushed up at some small rate each year.

IIRC, it's a prettt significant amount.

When does it stop?

I am confused I thought the earth was only 10,000 years old :)

Until the masses are equally moving forces. Maybe never

The problem is everyone who keeps dragging the same ****ing joke into the ground over and over and over.
I mean, is it a joke if the other person is that disconnected from reality? I feel like it's an ongoing attempt at education.

It's about 2.4" per year.

It stops when the Indian plate runs out of gas maybe in 100 million years.

The Appalachians used to be higher than the Himalayas. Now they're worn-down nubs of their former selves. They're one of the oldest mountain rangers on earth. The oldest rocks found in them are some 480 million years old.
