the thing is that theres like,,, a gazillion different kinds of floating rocks and if we called them all planets it doesn’t end and its very hard to sort, define, and understand them.. for example say i was studying animals, and i decided to make the two classifications reptile and mammal, its like ppl r getting mad i put a snake as a reptile and not a mammal,, anyway pluto isn't a planet and im tired and gay and i love space (this isnt @ u im just talkin cause i have no nerd friends)

That actually happened when we first discovered the asteroid belt. At one point the solar system had like 42 planets before someone was like ‘now wait a minute’

Where are the stans for the other 33 not-planets huh? Where are the teenagers shitting their pants over asteroid 1932-1d-2006 huh? VIVA LA 1932-1D-2006 HUH??

When I see actual, real Native Americans complain about Magic in North America and say it’s racism from their mouths then I will believe it. 

Hearing it from a non-Native American, I’m not going to believe it.

thefadinggreatperhaps

I am a Native American, and Magic In North America is extremely disrespectful.

This is what a few other Natives have said about it:

But yeah, no natives are upset about this… none at all…

Comparing The Latitude Of North America And Europe

by @neilrkaye

More same latitude maps >>

what-even-is-thiss

I think a lot of people assume in their heads that Europe is further south than it is because it’s so warm there in comparison to say, Siberia or northern Canada.

Well why is Europe so warm then? I’m glad you asked. They get all the hot wind.

what-even-is-thiss

And you may reasonably ask, is this hot air coming from the central Atlantic or from the mouths of European politicians? Like most things it’s a combination of different… but no yeah it’s just warm air currents from down south in the tropics

im-a-goat-in-disguise

This also shows why a relatively mild heat in California or Texas might cause drought and heat-stroke in places like England or Denmark, because those areas are used to Northern-Canada levels of heat

I think the thing that affected me most when moving across the ocean is the strange high light in Northern Europe. The sky is a different color, and the winters are just slightly darker and drawn-in.

White people with dreadlocks who scream “the Celts had locks” every time you get called out. Stop. Just stop.

I’m mixed race and a Celt so here I am to tell you that Celtic people do not traditionally wear locks. Any Celt in the Isles today could tell you that. Most Celts living in North America could tell you that. Most Creole people who are Celtic could tell you that. 

Observe.

See this? This is called plaiting. It’s a type of braiding. THIS is the Celtic and Nordic style that ancient Romans mistook for dreadlocks because they were Colonial Imperialists who didn’t see or care about the differences between the cultures they were “conquering.”

If you are Celtic, Nordic or trying to emulate Celtic culture (which is a discussion for another day) and you have dreadlocks all that says to me is that you don’t care about or respect those differences either.

I apologize on behalf of Celts with locks and random white people with locks who try to make this excuse. I can only hope correcting them might make a bit of a difference.

???? We use the metric system in Britain and Europe. Imperial system isn't even taught here. Literally only three countries in the world still use the imperial system and those are Liberia, Myanmar, and north America. What on earth was the British guy doing??

I don’t know but it pissed me off so much
