A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I mean Pluto IS a planet i guess what people mean when they say pluto is not a planet is that it is no longer part of our solar system
No, that's just you. I'm genuinely curious why you'd think anyone would ever make the argument Pluto isn't part of our solar system.
No, they don't.
The solar system is larger than you think and extends quite a bit beyond pluto
