/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.

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

[–] negativenull 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

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

[–] Graphy 19 points 1 week 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!

The real problem here is the nostalgia factor. A lot of people grew up having the planets ingrained into their brains with various mnemonics. Hard to say goodbye to “pizza”.

Kinda silly when 'dwarf planet' has planet still in the name.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just change the name. Can't be Pluto, but maybe Gimli will work.

[–] VindictiveJudge 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Do we name asteroids after hobbits, then?

Even sillier to get pissed on behalf of a giant space rock that doesn't care what you call it.

Now I'm curious: How publicised was Pluto's discovery in 1930? Did the public care? Would Earhart likely have learnt about it before she vanished in 1937?

[–] FlyingSquid 9 points 1 week ago

They were basically calling it the great American scientific discovery at the time. Which is probably why some people were so loath to accept the "demotion."
