Same as a french teacher saying "neck" in french in front of brazilian students. "Cou" sounds like "cu" in pt (asshole, the anatomical part)

#5 I really hate the original picture, because it depicts millitary as heroes that protect the innocent, but what isn't depicted is the 1/2
MrBassoonBro
Military and political leaders taunting the attackers which means the innocent shouldn't need protection in the first place 2/2

I love these little structurally meaningless but sentimentally rich actions that humans take when they love what they're doing.

I wouldn't be mad if they changed the name of Uranus to Ouranos
Tsamane
It gets changed in 2620, to Urectum.

The fluid interior structure of Uranus means that it has no solid surface. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranus#Physical_characteristics

Didn't they change it to ur-ectum?

Oo-ran-os is how they would say it. Just saying. But then you sound like a douche

A bit like the people who say Octopodes instead of Octopuses or Octopi. You are technically correct but no one will want to talk to you

Until the klingons find it and blow it up during target practice....

And it has since been joined by four others: Pioneer 11, Voyagers 1 and 2 and New Horzions. They will endure long past our Sun and Earth.

it isn't just asteroids. it's also comets. jupiter isn't called an asteroid catcher, it's a comet catcher.

Also it isn’t just a comet catcher it’s also known as your mom ;)

Jupiter’s gravity tore apart another planet early in the solar system’s history and created the asteroid belt
DrSparken
Jupiter didn't tear a planet apart, it prevented one from forming in the first place by jostling the asteroids so they can never gather.
SimSimSimsalabim
Jupiter is not the hero we deserve, but the hero we need.
rbudrick
Comets are just icy asteroids, pbbbllt.
DVSBSTrD
If Jupiter is the catcher, who's the pitcher?
Bystandr
We were hit by a string of impacts from Canada to Greenland (and possibly beyond) a bit over 12,000 years ago that resulted in the flooding

Almost like there's great flood stories all over the world.

event that made a lot of the landscape in the middle USA when the ice sheets melted suddenly, and this was likely from a comet.

Nah, he's just a salty bitch. Tried to devour us and the other inner planets but Saturn pulled him back out. So now he just throws rocks.

Uranus applied for Greek citizenship. Sounds similar now, but a little less awkard.
ObliqueRay
It's always been Ουρανός, we're all just burdened with English speakers and their endlessly hilarious "joke".
Abominablesloth
Why don't we just call it Caelus so it is named after it's Roman equivalent like every other planet
Ulthirm
Because there already was a thing named after Caelus at the time, not a planet tbf
Abominablesloth
I feel if we can decide that Pluto is not a planet at least we can decide to be consistent
