Pluto (ex-planet)
A -
What a crock of shit. For 76 years Pluto was a full-fledged planet, and then the loons over at IAU strip it of its classification and call it just another object in the outer rim. The “planet” went from sharing its name with a Disney Charater and the Roman god of the underworld, to simply “object 134340”. 24601 might have been a little more appropriate.
Where did the days go when having a funky orbit meant something? When switching positions with another planet was refreshing? When not knowing if your moon is orbiting you or if you’re orbiting it was funny? All the other planets are boring. I’m not sending my kids to any school where Pluto isn’t mentioned as a planet. Fucking hippies.
