Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

It's possibly as simple as it being part of recitation when kids learned the solar system's planets and now it's just not. Some folks have a real hard time wrapping their head around the idea that a 'fact' they learned and knew their whole life has been decided changed. Or maybe that isn't it. I dunno. My concern for Pluto is mostly just for shitpost value. I don't really give a rip whether it can clear its own orbit or not.
