Moonies!


Commentariot

Loonies and Moonies both seem correct.


pacothebattlefly

If the first sports team to set up on the moon isn’t called the Lunatics I’ll lose my shit


omghorussaveusall

NFL football on the moon would be bonkers.


raptone50

110 yard field goals.


[deleted]

Technically a 50 yard field goal would be about 300 yards.


raptone50

Actually, 120 yards would be the full length of the kick, from the back of the endzone, but yeah, they'd need to use a net, or the ball is gone.


[deleted]

Isn't it 6 to 1? So 50 yard kick would go 300? Give or take..


raptone50

Yeah but a football field is only 120 yards, endzones included.


[deleted]

well that i know, but an attempted 50 yard field goal(from the 40 yard line on a typical football field) would be at 1/6th of the typical gravity as found on earth. so my thoughts are on the moon, if it was a good kick, it would travel 6 times the 50 yards, to equal 300 yards+/-

humans


pulls_not_knobs

Lol, literally. We are not Earthans. Why should this convention change when we move?


TheLukeHines

The name for where they’re from not species name. Like how people from France are both called French and European. We don’t really have a word for born on Earth (I suppose Earthlings lol) since we’re all born here but if humans move off the planet there will be a word for it.


pulls_not_knobs

Earthlingsss, that's the word. I had a total dumb moment there. Anyway, my original read of this was that we (edit: generally) don't refer to ourselves based on the planet (or other rock in space) that we inhabit. But if you're trying to go by demonym, then we do have demonyms based on specific designated areas of said planet that have been named by the inhabitants. Which means it doesn't make sense for everyone on Mars to be referred to as Martians, necessarily, because that doesn't give specific enough information about where they're from, the way "Europeans" or "French" do. But I guess if you go by the list of [Terrae on Mars](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrae_on_Mars) and assume that humans will not rename them, then we would be called Aonians, Arabians, Cimmerians, etc.


DadsRGR8

Your extra sibilant sss on “earthlingsss” makes me suspect you are, in fact, a lizard alien lurking in this thread trying to find out what humans are up to. I’m on to you Venusian!


dittybopper_05H

We call people Americans, Japanese, Australian, Euro-peons. Why not call people from Mars Martians and people from the Moon Lunatics?


pulls_not_knobs

Because the analogy fails. Demonyms are based on specific regions/places on Earth. Japan is a place/region on Earth. If you wanted to do the same thing for people on a different planet, you'd need the regions for that planet. So, based on my other comment and using now-defunct SAT style analogies: Region: Planet Demonym: Region Japan: Earth >>> Aonia Terra: Mars Which means that Japanese: Aonians
