And in 2006, Pluto was declared not a planet. Also in 2006, Facebook went public. Coincidence? I think not!

plutocracy confirmed

So, you're saying for thousands of years nobody knows about Pluto. Then a handful of people suddenly start obsessively monitoring the night sky and enumerating every object they can see in a big journal. More and more of them start building bigger and bigger telescopes, blowing enormous sums of money on this seemingly pointless hobby. They're spending the most productive years of their lives sleeping through day so they can wake up in the middle of the night and count celestial objects. And then you're telling me Pluto caused Autism?

I think you've placed the cart before the horse.

So you’re saying autism caused Pluto? 😳

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

It's the only conclusion that makes sense.

[-] NeatoBuilds@mander.xyz 9 points 10 months ago

I don't know, I read a post on the internet that says the opposite

[-] stinky@redlemmy.com 4 points 10 months ago

I'm withholding opinion until I hear from Jenny McCarthy on this.

[-] amon@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

[-] mayhair@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

Not sure why you're asking me instead of OOP...

[-] amon@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

You made the banner version, but it doesn't really matter who makes it, though.

Why not just randomly assign someone like it's jury duty?

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

True, wanting a community and creating it doesn't have to correlate or cause one another

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Correct, just like nic cage movies cause kids to drown

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 10 months ago

As an autist, I agree. I wouldn't be like this if it wasn't for that damn ~~planet~~ space rock!

Or did those with autism cause Pluto? Correlation does not prove causation. They weren't able to fully connect the dots in the case of vaccines. They only saw a mere common "trend" among the research and ran with it.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 7 points 10 months ago

You at it again Andrew Wakefield?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Okay, look. I'm tired of living a lie. I caused autism. And I'm glad.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Straw men have only ever existed on planets. There are no straw men on Pluto. Therefore, Pluto is not a planet.

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago

Checkmate atheist

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I blame Percival Lowell for this. And his minion, Clyde Tombaugh.

Then they yanked Pluto from planetary existence, to cover their tracks!

You don't really trust this leftist liberal biased wikipedia, do you?

(/s to be sure)

What caused the existence of trans people?

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Genetics, mostly. But socialization, culture, etc possibly. There have been trans people as long as there have been people. Some cultures were more accepting than others. I'd encourage you to check out Native American Two Spirit people for an ancient way cultures of the area perceived some kinds of trans people, often in a quite positive way.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

A lot of Autistic people are trans
