    I cannot respect people who call Pluto a planet on internet forums whenever this topic comes up. Not because I agree with NASA, think their definition is perfect, or think those people just cling to nostalgia and hate change, no.

    I cannot respect them because Pluto does not care and trying to white knight perceived attacks against it will not impress it, those people are just being pathetic.

          Since they are both dogs, even though Goofy is anthropomorphic, Pluto and Goofy could technically procreate.

          Do with this knowledge as you seem fit…

            While I’m jaded and cynical enough to not be moved by anything anymore and I have already heard that information, I’m somehow still disgusted that you invoked rule 34 here of all places.

        Wrong. Pluto is actually one of the coldest bodies in the solar system at an average of -232c

          but relative to the majority of matter in the universe isn’t that blazing fucking hot?

          (I’m likely wrong, my major was biochem lol)

      It’s not white knighting a planet. I’m literally from where it was discovered. I went on field trips to Lowell Observatory as a kid. Fuck all y’all who won’t accept my planet.

      All dwarf planets are planets. Don’t discriminate.
