[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Okay, look. I'm tired of living a lie. I caused autism. And I'm glad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

I blame Percival Lowell for this. And his minion, Clyde Tombaugh.

Then they yanked Pluto from planetary existence, to cover their tracks!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Straw men have only ever existed on planets. There are no straw men on Pluto. Therefore, Pluto is not a planet.

What caused the existence of trans people?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 days ago

Loneliness and a high lack of self-understanding.

Genetics, mostly. But socialization, culture, etc possibly. There have been trans people as long as there have been people. Some cultures were more accepting than others. I'd encourage you to check out Native American Two Spirit people for an ancient way cultures of the area perceived some kinds of trans people, often in a quite positive way.

A lot of Autistic people are trans

Why do party balloons sometimes drift north?

  1. The string, they let go of it.

  2. The wind was blowing that way.

I think it's a good parallel.

Not sure why you're asking me instead of OOP...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You made the banner version, but it doesn't really matter who makes it, though.

Why not just randomly assign someone like it's jury duty?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

True, wanting a community and creating it doesn't have to correlate or cause one another

Pluto is a dwarf planet located in the Kuiper Belt, a region of the solar system beyond the orbit of Neptune. It was discovered in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh and was originally classified as the ninth planet in our solar system. However, in 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) redefined the definition of a planet, and Pluto did not meet all of the criteria. As a result, Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet.

Pluto has a diameter of about 1,473 miles (2,370 kilometers), making it smaller than the United States. It has a highly eccentric orbit, which means that its distance from the sun varies greatly over the course of its 248-year-long orbit. At its closest approach to the sun, Pluto is about 2.7 billion miles (4.3 billion kilometers) away, while at its farthest point, it is about 4.6 billion miles (7.4 billion kilometers) away.

Pluto has five known moons: Charon, Styx, Nix, Kerberos, and Hydra. Charon is the largest of these moons, with a diameter of about 750 miles (1,200 kilometers). It is so large that Pluto and Charon are often referred to as a binary system, with Pluto and Charon orbiting a common center of mass.

Pluto's surface is composed of a mixture of water ice, methane ice, and nitrogen ice. It has a very thin atmosphere, which is composed mainly of nitrogen, with some methane and carbon monoxide. The atmosphere collapses when Pluto is far from the sun and reforms when it is closer.

Pluto's temperature varies greatly depending on its distance from the sun. When it is at its closest approach to the sun, the temperature on Pluto can reach as high as -387 degrees Fahrenheit (-233 degrees Celsius). When it is at its farthest point from the sun, the temperature can drop as low as -396 degrees Fahrenheit (-238 degrees Celsius).

Despite being a dwarf planet, Pluto is still a fascinating and mysterious object in our solar system. Scientists are still learning new things about Pluto, and there is much more to be discovered about this icy world and its moons.

God bless copy-pasta and Moronic-o-Pedia.

Planet = 76 years - Dwarf = 19 years

Planet wins. Dwarf can't even drink yet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Dwarf can't even drink yet.

In the US. Most countries have 18 as the limit; in most of Europe that's only a limit on buying alcohol, not drinking it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Its still effectively a buying limit here in the US as well. I had my first drink at 4 because I was convinced whiskey was apple juice and stole a swing, the end result was a drunk 4 year old.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I think he means their cops won't arrest you for drinking younger.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Yes, I know about our backward ass country. The United States of America: where you may fight and die in a war at 18 but can't have a drink.

Kinda rude tbh.

Plenty of neurodivergent people to find one compatible. I love hearing other autists ramble, makes me feel safe and comfortable.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

It's just jokes.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

I don't think they were implying that OP can't find someone to love, but rather that they want to be with OP if op isn't already with someone

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 days ago (2 children)

No. For I am in love with Pluto.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

Proserpina may want to have words with you.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

I'll cut a bitch

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

Or did those with autism cause Pluto? Correlation does not prove causation. They weren't able to fully connect the dots in the case of vaccines. They only saw a mere common "trend" among the research and ran with it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

They (the anti-vaxxers) didn't know about autism before they were born, therefore, antivax causes autism?
