I mean, sure, but you can reasonably glean that I’m just talking about the fact that any 2 objects with mass exert gravity on each other. The OP is facebook-tier
You’re being pedantic to levels most redditors could only dream of. A barycenter isn’t even necessarily outside the 2 objects, if you took the OP to mean that, it’s incorrect information anyways.
The OP does not claim that all barycenters are outside of the sun. OP correctly claims that Jupiter & Sun orbit a certain point, and that point is known as the “barycenter,” and that point is outside the sun. I’ll admit they could have gone further to convey the additional curiosity that for other planets the sun-planet barycenter is within the sun, but then it might not be facebook-tier anymore.
I literally do not understand why you think I’m being pedantic here. The OP text is short and contains no obvious errors that I can see. Perhaps to someone who has made a mistake and doesn’t want to admit it, attempts by others to point out this mistake must resemble pedanticism.
No, it is not true in general that the barycenter lies outside both objects.

I can’t reasonably glean that, because the OP clearly says this:
I agree that OP is facebook-tier but your reply is reddit-tier :P
