For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

    Pluto is a MOTHER FUCKING PLANET

    It has enough mass to deform into a spheroid, it orbits on the major plane of every other planet.

    “Clearing their orbit” is utter bullshit, Earth hasn’t even cleared its orbit that’s why we get the Perseid and The Leonid meteor showers.

    Fuck you NDT, I know you didn’t start it but you SURE as FUCK popularized it.

    And I will literally fistfight any of you who disagree idgaf where or when.

      The main issue is that if Pluto is a planet, there’s like 30 or so others that have to be also, for consistency.

        Do they orbit on the general plane of the other planets in the system? COOL! Add them to the list!

        IDGAF if we have hundreds of planets, it’s always been an arbitrary number and the only reason to keep it small is so kids can memorize the list and that isn’t good enough to DISRESPECT motherfucking PLUTO

            DNA gives us insight into ancestry that has no parallel in astronomy. When we finally sequence a creature, we pretty much know right on the tree where it goes and stupid fucking crabs and everything that look like them can all get placed in their proper relations when previously purely dissection and observation misled those taxonomy pioneers.

            you can’t have that kind of bait and switch on celestial objects because what we see is what we see.

            The reason that Pluto was smaller than predicted was the fact that the mass calculations assumed a single central object when the perturbations were made by the PLANET/moon system. That doesn’t change the fact that it has enough mass to deform into a spheroid and orbits within 20% of the orbital plane.

        Nah… Just take the current definition of planet and append “and also Pluto because we’re emotionally attached to it” and you’re good.
