Pluto was demoted in 2006, Harambe was killed in 2016. We are not ready for 2026.
2026 better be the zombie apocalypse, if we keep getting the other catastrophes first there won’t be enough people to become zombies
This is a good hypothesis. Mine has been that the Mayan calendar was right, but the end of the world is a slower process than we all assumed.
Maybe Pluto and Cizin are tag teaming. Science!
and charon, which is in mutual orbit with pluto and not that much smaller
which really shows how much the average “pluto is a planet” person actually knows about space, lol
And my mates Ceres and Sedna! And Orcus, Makemake, Haumea, Eris (which started this whole deal), Gonggong, Quaoar, Salacia, Leleākūhonua, and at least 40 undiscovered Sednoids. Vesta, Pallas, Hygeia, and Interamnia probably counted at one point too!
At some point it stops being gatekeeping and is just another kingdom entirely.
The way I look at it, we didn’t lose a planet. We gained several others as dwarf planets. Dwarf planets are still planets after all. Pluto is their king. And if there’s one thing we should have all learned by now it’s that you don’t mess with dwarf kings.
That would explain our current predicament pretty well.
