  You mean to tell me it hasn’t even been a year since we discovered Pluto?!

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

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

  Fine I’ll do look it up. Discovered 1930, so that makes a Pluto year 278 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.

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

    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.

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

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

  • SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  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.

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

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

    If humans start digging now some of them might make it in sealed self-contained bunkers.
