Hi there!
Welcome to our daily scheduled post, the **Daily Slow Chat.**
If you want to just chat about your day, if you have questions for the moderators *(please mark these \[Mod\] so we can find them)*, or if you just want talk about oatmeal then this is the thread for you!
Enjoying the small talk? We have a Discord server too! We’d love to have more of you over there. Do both of us a favour [and use this link to join the fun](https://discord.gg/BTX7cK3R4k).
The mod-team wishes you a nice day!

You know that moment when you can spot American tourists by their voice. In other words, you hear them before you see them. But to be fair, any group of tourists, whether they’re Spanish, Italian, or English, can just be as loud as we are.
Got some police numbers for noise now…
The eccentricity of a planet is a way of making seasons, but Earth’s orbit isn’t particularly eccentric. [This article](https://worldbuildingpasta.blogspot.com/2023/12/climate-explorations-eccentricity.html) says that at extremely high eccentricities, rain stops during summer because of the extreme heat. It also leads to a global monsoon season of winds going into the sea in winter and into continents in summer rather than a hemispheric wind pattern.
