Interesting phenomenon. Earth's rotation has been slowing down measurably for at least 100 years. UTC is an atomic timescale adjusted by adding or removing whole seconds to keep it in sync with the (fictitious mean) sun. Interesting times.

No wonder why I’m always running out of time. The days are getting shorter.

So the increased spin is causing an increase in friction between the atmosphere and the land increasing the air temperature. No wonder it’s hot out there. We are all going to die.

At least with the earths spin slowing, there will be less accidents like this...

Earth is rotating faster than it has in the last half-century, resulting in our days being ever-so-slightly shorter than we’re used to.OMG!!!! That's what I thought? This is worse than global warming and/or climate change or even monkeypox! As the spin increases people are going to spin off into outer space! It's time to eat more chocolate chocolate chip ice cream to help tether yo fat ass to the earth. I know. Joe told me so. No joke!!!!!

I went to the doctor.
I said, “Doc, I’m dizzy!”
He said, “Not to worry. It’s just faster earth spin.”

Ever feel like there’s just not enough time in the day? Turns out, you might be onto something.

The Democrats suck so much it is equalizing the extra spin.

Well, if Luna does slow the rotation of the Earth and if the orbital distance is increasing 1.5 inches / 3.81cm per year, then Luna is 6+ feet over 50 years! Obviously it is Trump’s fault!

It’s caused by Jerrold Nadler sliming back-and-forth in the Capitol building.

Fake title by the author.
No, it is not, and the article elaborates.
Good science, bad reporting.

I don’t even know where we are.
They tell me we’re circling a star.
I’ll take their word, I don’t know.
I’m dizzy so it may be so.
