If moons were cats, most planets would be the typical cat dad/mum, and Jupiter would be that crazy old neighbour with too many of them.

…wait a minute considering how our Moon developed, even moon adoption is cat-like! You don’t say “I want a moon”, the moon just hits you and say “you know what, I’m living here now!”

Not shown: Jupiter occasionally tearing one apart and strewing its innards all around or abducting random passerbys and eating them.

If I’m not mistaken, Luna is the only moon of same stone and lava as it’s parent planet. Charon, too, maybe?

The verdict is still out on the formation of Earth’s only natural satellite, the Moon. But yes, it may be mostly composed of ejecta from Earth after it collided and merged with another protoplanet.

Ever heard of black humor? Their comment is intentionally heavy to create a clash in the reader’s expectations.

I was going to say, just like the god it’s named after, but I guess it was Saturn who ate babies.

Who amongst us haven’t snacked on some infant from time to time? Amirite, fellow atheists?

I’d expect that more from Catholics. They do the whole “body of Christ,” thing

The corporate memphis version is somehow more disturbing than the original.

Mars’s kids are named Fear and Terror. Not the best parent material there.

Well, he is the god of war. He wishes his kids to grow up strong and respected like him. Don’t be so harsh on the guy, he’s doing his best you know.

You know. This could be hilarious as a premise. I’m thinking a monte python style comedy.

It’s called Life of Brian, they just weren’t aware that Yahweh was originally a God of War

“The moons of Fear and Terror” sounds like an amazing crossover between DOOM, Fear & Hunger and Darkest Dungeon

Appropriately enough Fear (Phobos) is slowly getting closer to Mars and will eventually crash into it.

Other planets have moons. Mars has a pair of hamsters. So hamsters named Fear and Terror.

Jupiter has rings as well, they’re just puny compared to Saturn’s

A bitch, I don’t think so, but a cow, a bear, a goat (maybe) and probably a lot more are.
