    It’s only a problem when you reach a certain level of astronomical knowledge. 99% of us don’t and won’t give a shit and think the people who decided Pluto’s no longer a planet are simply assholes.

    All adults know what a “grandfather clause” is and are capable of applying that to Pluto.

    Pluto is and will always be Hot Shit.

        Technically, you don’t know Fonzie’s temperature. And before you go and say “human temperature,” the Fonz is a fictional character, so all bets are off.

      the people who decided Pluto’s no longer a planet

      Yes. Fuck Mike Brown. I don’t know why many people still let him dictate what to think of as a planet. The concept of “planet” is entirely man-made and doesn’t follow any god given or universal criteria. While some astronomers argue that our moon is a planet too, the current criteria would even de-classify earth as a planet, should it get knocked out of our solar system.

      I see Pluto as a Planet, and have yet to see a good argument against it.
