Second thing I noticed: Ooh, is that so? That's interesting.

First thing: its not it's

Temporary planet designation for its birthday!!!! Time for Christmas spirit, y'all!

On that note, Santa and all his elves will have drowned from North pole melting long before then.

It was the runt of the litter and didn't survive full planet hood.

You mean to tell me it hasn't even been a year (on Pluto) since we discovered Pluto?!

[–] einlander 69 points 1 day ago (4 children)

It was discovered, made a planet, and then kicked out the club in that time.

If you think 2020 was bad, wait until you hear about Pluto's year... the American civil war, ww1, ww2, the great depression, the moon landing... the American civil war...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

But none of those things happened on the planet

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

It's been a really rough year for Pluto. Let's all wish it good luck next year (when humans are probably dead).

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago

Since it is discovery

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 day ago

Alright, setting a reminder

[–] Anticorp 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Will it or won't it be a planet by then?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We will call it a planet if we plan it.

[–] roguetrick 6 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

So please don't tell me to can it

I've got one thing to say and that's

[–] AngryCommieKender 8 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Dammit! Janet!

^I^ ^want^ ^to^ ^screw^!

[–] glitchdx 7 points 1 day ago

depends on how you define "planet".

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

its ಠ_ಠ

[–] someguy3 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Fine I'll look it up. Discovered 1930, so that makes a Pluto year 248 Earth years.

How can we even know it's a planet when we haven't observed a single orbit, yet?
Maybe it's just a really big comet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago

It's not really big. There are multiple Pluto like planetoids. Also there is a hunk of rock in the asteroid belt youcould name a planet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

By measuring how fast it's moving and where it is you can find the orbit

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We've observed enough of its orbit to know what shape it is.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How can you be so sure it doesn't just decide to leave

[–] MintyFresh 11 points 1 day ago

And who could blame it?

[–] niktemadur 6 points 1 day ago

Pluto Party Time!
How much longer? I"ve got my costume ready and everything...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Hopefully the AI Contruct that we will create will be able to witness it.

Because I don't think humans are surviving that long.

[–] PunnyName 3 points 1 day ago

I might end up missing that, too‽ Goddammit!
