I'm not a 12 yo boy, I'm not a 12 yo boy, I'm not a 12 yo boy

Don't worry, the scientific community is working on getting it renamed to solve exactly this problem.

It's going to be called "urectum".

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 20 points 1 month ago

I'm a genuine proponent of renaming Uranus to "Caelus." It's the only planet (save earth) not named for a Roman god. It's named for a Greek god, and completely breaks the naming convention. Funny word play aside, I'd like to see it renamed Caelus.

[-] colderr@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Caelus would fit perfectly in our solar system.

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

Right? Such a cool name! I also would not mind if they renamed earth to Terra, though, to keep the trend. But if we keep Uranus, we should make earth Gaia, so Uranus won't be so lonely as the only Greek in the solar system.

I may, may, be anthropomorphizing our planets a bit

I mean since it's 71% covered in water, how about Poseidia?

How does one select the ending of the word, like how would one know to choose Poseidia instead of Poseidus?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The best formula for solutions haha. Here I thought you knew some magic space nomenclature guidelines.

Hey don't talk about Uranus like that.

Uranus is good enough, smart enough, and goshdarnit, people like Uranus.

Rectum? Damn near killed em!

Relax friend. You are safe. That was a long time ago and Father McCoy is not around anymore.

None of us are (hopefully). Doesn't make the joke any less funny to our 12 year old senses of humour.

eh. As no mer s: H-eh. As-stro-no-me-r-s.

Am I doing it right?

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago

Maybe it just got a kiss from Neptune

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

Is that the Roman version of Poseidon’s kiss?

[-] AmidFuror@fedia.io 19 points 1 month ago

Wet, I can understand. But cold?

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 month ago

Ever driven 45 minutes home after bottoming? It get pretty cold before you get to a shower

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Things I never realized being a straight man

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

Let me help every woman you'll sleep with going forward, then. Don't just jizz on the bed when you pull out. It also gets cold, but now it's where you need to sleep. Lol.

Also don't get it in their hair, it's a bitch to get out if it dries. Invest in a daily glass of pineapple juice, though, and you probably won't have to worry about it where to end. They won't mind swallowing so much

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Lmao. I'm an old man with a kid and a committed GF. We always have something to take care of it. But thanks for the PSA.

[-] 01011@monero.town 2 points 1 month ago

Why would you not just shower afterwards?

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

Not always an option. What if you've just been fucked in a field? There's no shower. Or more likely, the handicap stall at a Walmart halfway between your houses because neither of you can host, and you live 2 hours apart

It is pretty close to where the sun doesn't shine.

[-] kusivittula@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago

maybe it's a windy day

[-] Biggles@lemmy.myserv.one 13 points 1 month ago

Shouldn't they be looking at the night sky, though?

[-] ben_dover@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 month ago

not my anus

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago

And that’s to say nothing of Uranus’ moons, of which there are nearly 30.

Damn. Surprised that many can last that long and not destroy each other.

[-] MumboJumbo@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

The gas Giants are huge, like really really huge. Jupiter and Saturn have more than that. The rings from Saturn are probably from moons, but not necessarily colliding, but getting close enough to the planet to reach the Roche Limit.

[-] bamfic@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

These moons will destroy uranus

[-] portuga@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Nah that’s my wife, carry on

[-] UnspokenIdiot@lemmy.wtf 10 points 1 month ago

thats very poor choice of words

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

thats very ~~poor~~ excellent choice of words

They knew what they were doing

!theyknew@lemmy.world

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

there was a poll among astronomers whether they should rename uranus, and they almost unanimously decided to keep it that way because it got funding just due to giggles.

[-] fluxx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

In Futurama, they renamed it to Urectum :)

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I felt it

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

get it? because it sounds like your anus pfhdtfht
