I see the term ham planet used rather sparingly around these parts, and it got me to thinking what if there was an entire planet made of ham? If it was far away enough from the sun could it be kept preserved and also kept in orbit and serve as a food source? Could one day humanity make an actual planet of ham for harvesting?
Also have any of you ever tried making fried ham cubes before?

My favorite is Crste after I ringe with orange juice. If you haven't done that then you're a fag that posts. Fucking fag bait cunt!~

Would ham spoil in an environment with no atmosphere?

I'm more concerned about what would happen if a planet made entirely of ham collided with a planet made of spam. Would they cancel each other out or...?
>>7205142
what if it entered a whole wheat and mayo nebula
>>7205140
Mostly not. Spoilage is due to bacteria/fungus digesting your food as well as general oxidation reactions leading to breakdown of your foodstuff.
Assuming the ham planet just materialized out in the vacuum in deep space where it is nearly 0 degrees K and there are no bacteria/fungus to eat it, it would be essentially perfectly freeze dried for eternity after the water boiled off.
The only thing I would worry about is since said ham planet would have no magnetic field it would be constantly bombarded by high energy particles which would probably decay the surface of the ham planet into an inedible layer of amorphous carbon (think charcoal).

I laughed everytime you said planet.

You know how a petition was started for the white house to build a death star? There should be a petition made to build a small planet made out of ham to launch into space.
>>7205230
So, you're saying it wouldn't just be a ham planet, it'd be a barbecued pork planet?
It would be like the Dogscape world but with ham instead.

this isn't Worldbuilding on StackExchange, mate, no need to take it so seriously.

I'm glad someone enjoyed it, I enjoyed writing it and thinking about it.

You'd probably have to dig through a few inch layer of soot to get to the real meat if you landed on said planet to get some ham for your space ship, so sorta.

Why do you hate fun, friend?

>not using Kelvin
>>7206453
I'm not even into science, and I've always felt the Kelvin scale makes the most sense.
>coldest possible temp is zero, go up from there
VERSUS
>zero is somewhere at the halfway mark, coldest possibly temp is something around negative 300 (I'm graciously rounding, no need to correct my number)

>special cornflake
You my friend made me laugh heartily.
Well done.
what if the milkey way were actually made of milk

You know Rover found traces of ham on Mars?

Mars the bar?
Would ham even work in a mars bar?
I heard moon is cheese

The moon is really cheese though right?
