I'll forget Pluto together with the 200+ other dwarf planets in our solar system, thank you very much.

I understand the rationale for demoting Pluto, and I don't disagree at all

[-] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 30 points 3 months ago

It’s not even a demotion, it’s just reclassification. There’s no hierarchy of importance of solar system objects. People against a more accurate understanding of reality are dumb.

They took away Pluto's superior status! We're supposed to just sit back and let Pluto be relegated to the realms of the peasantry of satellites? I will fight to my dying breath to protect Pluto's honor!

What's more fun, demoting pluto or announcing the discovery of a new planet every week for a couple years?

[-] Graphy@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

I’ve always said those third graders have it too easy having to learn just 8 planets. Time to really put them in their place!

What if we demoted pluto every few weeks as a compromise

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
