You mean to tell me it hasn’t even been a year (on Pluto) since we discovered Pluto?!
It was discovered, made a planet, and then kicked out the club in that time.
If you think 2020 was bad, wait until you hear about Pluto’s year… the American civil war, ww1, ww2, the great depression, the moon landing… the American civil war…
But none of those things happened on the planet
It’s been a really rough year for Pluto. Let’s all wish it good luck next year (when humans are probably dead).

Alright, setting a reminder
Lazy fake planet
Have you considered that angering the god of the Underworld like this is why we’re in our current mess?
It was the runt of the litter and didn’t survive full planet hood.
Since it is discovery
Second thing I noticed: Ooh, is that so? That’s interesting.
First thing: its not it’s
Marked on my calendar, see you all there!
its ಠ_ಠ

Fine I’ll look it up. Discovered 1930, so that makes a Pluto year 248 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.
How can you be so sure it doesn’t just decide to leave
And who could blame it?
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.
Ceres is more than a third of the mass of the asteroid belt. It’s at least an order of magnitude bigger than anything else in its orbit. It’s hardly a hunk of rock
There’s also not that much rock, only 73% of the mass. The rest is ice and mud, with half it’s volume being water in some form.
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?
We will call it a planet if we plan it.
So please don’t tell me to can it
I’ve got one thing to say and that’s
Dammit! Janet!
I want to screw!
depends on how you define “planet”.
Dwarf planet is a planet!
IAU names aren’t the best, “planet” should be major planet.
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.
Pluto Party Time!
How much longer? I"ve got my costume ready and everything…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.
I might end up missing that, too‽ Goddammit!
