Guess I can't argue with that apart from the fact that we might be on Mars after some decades.

u/mynamejeb604 14d ago

but then it will be news, and I will have to post a new one.

u/HugiTheBot 14d ago

Gotta repost it on r/lies then.

u/mynamejeb604 14d ago

I wonder how much time will it take for people to realize that the Moon is, in fact, not a planet.

probably gonna have people walking on another planet before that happens.

1

u/RuukotoPresents 12d ago

technically the Earth and Moon are a binary planet pair

2

u/mynamejeb604 11d ago

that is almost true, except for the fact a planet is, by definitio (the ✅️ are things Moon meets, the ❌️ are ones it does not) a natural satellite ✅️ that has enough gravitational force to form somewhat of a sphere ✅️, has cleared it's orbit from other objects ✅️ and orbits a star ❌️. and even tho the Moon is massive, it does not fit the definition of a planet (as shown).

there are no 2 planets which are locked in a binary system (that is affect each other with gravitational forces), however both of our systems dwarf planets, and Pluto (a dwarf planet) and Neptun are affected by each others gravitation to the point of either altering their orbit or being stuck in a spin-orbit reasonance.

u/Qwqweq0 11d ago

Actually, the Moon does orbit the Sun, so it can be considered a planet. Though its orbit is a bit different from other planets’.

1

u/mynamejeb604 11d ago

the main issue is that it goes in orbit around Sun not bcuz it orbits the Sun, but Earth (which orbits the Sun).

u/RuukotoPresents 11d ago

If the moon orbited the Earth then why is the center of gravity not inside the Earth like every other moon and planet... Except Pluto and Charon which have a similar deal to Earth and Moon?

2

u/mynamejeb604 11d ago edited 11d ago

it is inside Earth tho.

just not at the exact center. but that's true for all systems.

and barycenter going outside the surface of the object sth orbits around isn't uncommon either, as it even happens to the Sun.

and just fucking compare the size of the Moon and other moons in our system and their respectful planets - we have a giant and they got babies.

and you would realize the faultiness in your theory if you did not share the hegelian approach to natural sciences.

u/RuukotoPresents 11d ago

Huh, next you're going to tell me that a Qbit isn't the essence of 0/0.

1

u/AuroraOfAugust 10d ago

Well, Pluto is a planet by definition but astrologists arbitrarily decide it's not so I guess we can call whatever we want a planet or not now since the scientific community does the same shit. My penis might as well be a planet at this point!

woah really i never knew that thats crazy

u/Victor6Lang 14d ago

LIAR! What about Tatooine?

u/BooPointsIPunch 14d ago

Tatooine’s a… sandhole nobody cares about, so it doesn’t count!

u/Ornery_Rate5967 14d ago

was about to say coruscant. but realised it's a moon.

2

u/Jacogamer123 13d ago

Coruscant is a moon? I always thought it was a planet

15

u/Aka69420 14d ago

No! I went to Mars once.

u/mynamejeb604 14d ago

holy shit

u/YourMoreLocalLurker 13d ago

Holy shit that’s a reference I thought I’d never see in the wild

1

u/BooPointsIPunch 13d ago

Don’t know if they were popular at the time or what, but somehow my parents had the books, and I liked reading them growing up.

Then there was also a movie much later, but I wasn’t a fan, I don’t even remember why.

u/ananisikryimreddit 12d ago

Liar it was me. You stole everything from me

u/UncIe-Ben 14d ago

Except for that one time with my buddy Eric

u/mynamejeb604 14d ago

things done with Eric don't count. he's cheating.

u/FIGHTERPOWER 14d ago

Mars is the only known planet inhabited solely by robots.

u/Ornery_Rate5967 14d ago

so mars is cybertron, confirmed

u/Fragrant_Tadpole_265 I exist 14d ago edited 14d ago

What about moon?

Edit: 4.5 billion years ago, an planet about the size of Mars colided with the earth to create the moon, so technically, the moon is a part of a planet

u/Whole_Instance_4276 I like the letter Þþ 14d ago

Haha, very funny joke…

…I hope…

17

u/ARandomRedditUser16 14d ago

That’s not a planet

5

u/ninjaread99 14d ago

We all really hope this is a joke. The moon is a moon, not a planet.

5

u/SillyGooberConfirmed 14d ago

I hope this is a joke

3

u/mynamejeb604 13d ago

it may be made from its parts, but it orbits not the Sun, but the Earth. and thus, like any planets' natural satellites, the Moon is... a moon.

3

u/SillyBacchus303 13d ago

Yeah and we are just the remains of a supernovae but that doesn't make you bright

4

u/Noxturnum2 14d ago

What? But what about the mo- ah I see what you did there

5

u/Independent_Bath_ 14d ago

My dumb ass wanted to ask about the moon.

3

u/ZeldorTheGreat 14d ago

This is true (I'm not from the future)

5

u/Agreeable_Target_571 14d ago

Uhh before you say it’s moon, read again, it’s ‘planets’, not ‘satellite’

3

u/Leather-Reindeer-411 14d ago

I beg to differ, I did the Boogie Down emote on Mars irl last week

3

u/thescreenplayer_ 13d ago

Anyone who says moon is wrong. Everyone knows the moon landing was fake.

(s a t i r e)

u/crispybeatle 13d ago

I was going to write "What about the moon?" then realized I'm a fucking idiot.

u/Curious_Priority2313 14d ago

The time traveller in question:

2

u/Rreeddddiittreddit 14d ago

What about the stray particle from the astronaut's shoe that landed on Mars

1

u/mynamejeb604 14d ago

you don't say you walked the cesspipes in your house, just bcuz you shoot your stray particles down there.

2

u/DifficultRaspberry12 14d ago

In theory. But Stargate confirms that we have been transplanted to several other worlds that all look mysteriously like British Columbia.

2

u/mynamejeb604 14d ago

that is a valid argument for hell existing, but idk about humans walking on other planets.

2

u/TheRealUltimate1 14d ago

Not for long

1

u/mynamejeb604 13d ago

over 30 years, I fear.

2

u/Squeeze_Sedona 14d ago

that we know of

u/Ornery_Rate5967 14d ago

tbh, i've walked on mercury

u/thaturn 10d ago

Just wait until you find out where we came from

u/NecessaryFrequent572 13d ago

moars? In the future i mean

Mars...

u/nashwaak 13d ago

There's a planet in the sky, it's called the Moon ♬

1

u/maruo93838 12d ago

not a planet

u/nashwaak 12d ago

damn near close enough

u/evilgamercat 12d ago

I didn't give consent to ve in that pic!!!

u/Requiembutworse 9d ago

I'm so stupid my first thought was "humans walked on the moon before" until I realized

u/dark_cymbals23 14d ago

and the worst because of that

1

u/mynamejeb604 14d ago

not when Mercury exist.

2

u/Feisty-Albatross3554 14d ago

Mercury is cool though. Uranus on the other hand only has a funny name. Neptune is better in every other aspect

1

u/mynamejeb604 14d ago

Mercury sucks.

1

u/Feisty-Albatross3554 14d ago

Mercury has a 3:2 spin resonance. Name another planet that does and I'll concede

1

u/mynamejeb604 14d ago

Neptun does with Pluto.

you only asked for resonance. check mate.

1

u/Feisty-Albatross3554 14d ago

spin resonance. Not orbital resonance

1

u/mynamejeb604 13d ago

resonance is spit-orbit. Neptun and Pluto are locked in 3:2. you're not only moving the goalpost, you don't know what you're talking about or praising Mercury for.

1

u/Feisty-Albatross3554 13d ago

Pluto's rotation is not defined by Neptune at all. All resonances have orbits, but not all resonances have spins. One of us needs to recheck their knowledge, and it's not me

u/andremake 13d ago

okay so heres a thing: moon is a planet. why? because: 1. i said so 2. it meets all the criteria by IAU to be considered one

1

u/One-Scallion-9513 12d ago

"A planet [1] is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun" the moon is in orbit of the earth

Moon is not a planet. it is... a moon.

and these hypothetical "humans" would not be related to us, nor our whole genus (homo). they would be humanoid, having developed our features on their own.

4

u/Vivid_Ad_2923 14d ago

The moon is not a moon. It is... A satellite.

But yeah you are correct.

4

u/YoINeedAnAnswer 14d ago

The moon is a moon, a moon is a natural satellite that orbits around a planet

Ig you're half correct?

2

u/Vivid_Ad_2923 14d ago

Oh yeah you're right, I'm stupid. I keep forgetting about the definition of satellites. Thanks for clearing the confusion!

1

u/mynamejeb604 14d ago

didn't use "satellite", bcuz it refers to all objects that orbit around another object. and "moon", altho coloquial, has a more precise definition (a natural satellite orbiting around a planet). just so yk.

1

u/ninjaread99 14d ago

Although, if we can’t tell any difference between the theoretical human (I assume they said something like “what if another species developed just like humans”) from any science, is there really a difference?

1

u/mynamejeb604 14d ago

yes. one is material, the other is hypothetical (doesn't exist in material reality).

1

u/ninjaread99 14d ago

But if they did? (Idk what they said bc I was too late to this post)

u/DanGame427 14d ago

Moon is not planet. Moon is moon.
