    The real problem here is the nostalgia factor. A lot of people grew up having the planets ingrained into their brains with various mnemonics. Hard to say goodbye to “pizza”.

      There was no scenario where your precious mnemonics got preserved. If Pluto was still a planet, then Ceres would be too and it would fuck them all up.

          That’s not where Ceres goes, and you missed Eris and a few others.

        Yes, but your language is even weirder than English.

        At least English doesn’t have any words like rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz.

          No, we have “thin blue line” and somehow a long running controversy about which lives matter and which lives still matter but we shouldn’t say it because it implies you think the others don’t matter because of the thin blue lines. Humans are fucking weird, no matter the language.

            What are you even talking about? Are you in the right thread? This is about Pluto and Star Trek and also at this point the German language.

              Yes, I was pointing out that making fun of one language is odd when all languages are bizarre. English especially so. I don’t this is unclear.

                Oh I see, this is more about being very, very serious rather than having fun and joking around in a meme community.

                Maybe you need to find somewhere else for that.

          Compound words make words rather descriptive and precise though, and we German love being precise.

            Although to be fair, you have nothing on the Māori of New Zealand. They named a hill Taumata­whakatangihanga­koauau­o­tamatea­turi­pukaka­piki­maunga­horo­nuku­pokai­whenua­ki­tana­tahu. That’s even longer than the town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in Wales.

            Edit: None of them, though, come close to Ancient Greek’s lopado­temacho­selacho­galeo­kranio­leipsano­drim­hypo­trimmato­silphio­karabo­melito­katakechy­meno­kichl­epi­kossypho­phatto­perister­alektryon­opte­kephallio­kigklo­peleio­lagoio­siraio­baphe­tragano­pterygon, “a fictional dish originating from Aristophanes’ 391 B.C. comedy Assemblywomen.”

        I don’t think mnemonic translates correctly into German ;p

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally “othering” of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community’s expectations.

Fun will now commence.
