with emails from employees to devs as evidence

One email from 10+ years ago, and from it’s wording the author likely misspoke

This epicenter is just outside of the Son

*Sometimes. The other planets can counterbalance Jupiter’s effect on the barycenter to pull it back into the surface of the Sun.

Also, it’s Sun, not Son

On the plus side, we live at a time where we can still observe the cosmic microwave background radiation and total solar eclipses.

Since the moon’s orbit grows by 3" every year, after a few million years it’ll be far enough away that it won’t completely eclipse the sun anymore.

And in a billion year’s time, the CMB will be redshifted so far into deep radio wavelengths that it’ll be impossible to observe

Goddamnit, you reminded me of the sentient cumsock filled with nickles in Dungeon Crawler Carl

Specifically Walmart customers

You seriously can’t really be this fucking stupid. Am I getting punked?

Assuming you live in a developed country. If you make your own mud hut in the wilderness, you own the house but you’re definitely not one of the world’s richest

Isn’t that half the plan of Helion Energy?

Except Jupiter is very clearly not a star. It’s an order of magnitude off of the mass required for fusion.

No. Assuming they’re smart isn’t necessary, nor is it realistic.

All you need to assume is that they’re malicious. They are rewarded for fucking people over. That’s all that matters

Now grow up and quit insisting on having the last word in the argument as if that makes you right

Notice the exception is written very specifically just to keep pluto from “clearing” is orbit.

There are tons of other Kuiper Belt objects in Pluto’s orbit. This wasn’t an exception written to spite Pluto. If you can attribute any malice to the definition, it comes from not wanting to include Eris, Sedna, Makemake, Quorua, and 200+ other Kuiper Belt objects as planets. Pluto was just caught in the crossfire because it fits with the other Kuiper Belt objects because it is one.

“orbit the Sun”. Not a star but very specifically the Sun.

This is a level of knitpicking that is completely childish. Grow up.

Aka the Charon-Pluto binary dwarf planet system

Tbf, if you were going to keep Pluto in the definition you’d have to include 200+ other orbits

Size is a factor. But not everything.

What’s important though is that it’s large enough to hold an atmosphere (at least if it had one).

Define an atmosphere. Because there’s multiple asteroids that technically have one, albeit extremely thin ones. And be careful about being too nitpicky, as Mercury’s atmosphere is just it’s rock being vaporized due to its proximity to the sun

*Lagrange points

there’s also a dwarf planet in the inner solar system

It’s arguable about whether it’s in the “Inner Solar System”. Ceres is inside the asteroid belt, and the asteroid belt is the separator between the inner and outer system. It’s like floating in the middle of The Rhine and debating whether you’re in Germany or France

Failed stars

but don’t try to justify ignoring the other few dozen planetoids poorly.

There’s 200+ kuiper belt objects that are large enough to be spherical, and most don’t have names
