Anyone know how to get rid of the Gemini icons?
Scientists didn’t become pickier - they just later found that Pluto was in a belt of thousands of massive object (called the Kuiper belt), like the asteroid belt but much bigger.
When Ceres was discovered in 1801, it was thought to be a comet, later a planet, but after discovering it was one of many asteroids in the asteroid belt (which it wasn’t big enough to clear), they realized it wasn’t a planet.
When Pluto was first discovered in 1930, it was in a similar situation as Ceres and thought of as a planet, but when other Kuiper belt objects started to be discovered by 1992, they realized Pluto also wasn’t a planet.

Jack@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•Calls for boycotting US products spread in northern EuropeEnglish8·5 months agoIn South Africa, the law determines that if something’s labeled “Product of South Africa” it can’t have any imported ingredients (tho the packaging can be imported).
“Produced in South Africa” can have imported ingredients - and I’ve been boycotting almost all of that because of the omnicidal carbon footprint of importing things. It’s easier in this country to live ethically tho because we can grow almost everything we need: from food to textiles; tho our energy production is some of the most unethical in the world.

The biggest and root cause of catastrophic anthropogenic climate change is human overpopulation:

Jack@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•South Africa suspends American businesses and mineral exportsEnglish18·6 months agoI haven’t seen any reliable sources say this yet.
An article from February 3 https://www.sabcnews.com/sabcnews/minerals/?hilite=minerals by the country’s public broadcaster, quotes the Minister of Minerals and Petroleum Resources, Gwede Mantashe, saying South Africa’s minerals should be withheld from US, but I’ve seen no reports that it actually will be.
I also couldn’t find anything at the government’s website https://www.gov.za/, nor via DDG at Reuters or AP.

“Key points. A common view is that after death, the soul ascends to heaven.”

There are enough people who couldn’t stomach voting for the Rs or Ds, to vote for another party that wants to reverse instead of accelerate anthropogenic climate change. See post you replied to:
In 2020 Biden got 81 million votes, Trump 74 million. 84 million didn’t vote - if they voted Green to reverse anthropogenic climate change, they could’ve gotten a non-omnicidal president, won the house, and a third of the senate.
Not to mention Jill Stiens [sic] ties to Putin.
If Stein is tied to Putin, then another 3rd party should get people’s votes instead - the smaller parties have less ballot access, requiring more write-in votes. What are Stein’s connections? Seems like the SIC’s report doesn’t make it clear what she did wrong.
Jack@lemmy.caOPto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•LA county 2nd biggest oil producer in CA, CA 12th in the USA, USA biggest in the worldEnglish02·7 months agoIt’s not only Republicans voting to have their faces eaten, per the definition of this community: https://lemmy.world/post/21640658
Democrats constantly vote to make the biosphere unlivable as shown by how their actions are accelerating anthropogenic climate: like the US producing more oil under Biden than under Trump. Cue surprised Pikachu when their houses burn down due to record heat, record wind storms, record fires which climate scientists have been warning about for decades now.
You can vote for the omnicidal Democrats who supply weapons to genocidal governments, or vote for the omnicidal Republicans who are worse than the Democrats, or you can vote to reverse climate change. In 2020 Biden got 81 million votes, Trump 74 million. 84 million didn’t vote - if they voted Green to reverse anthropogenic climate change, they could’ve gotten a non-omnicidal president, won the house, and a third of the senate.
Jack@lemmy.caOPto Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•LA county 2nd biggest oil producer in CA, CA 12th in the USA, USA biggest in the worldEnglish01·7 months ago71.0% of voters in LA county voted for Biden, and 26.9% voted for Trump in 2020.
Under Biden, oil production hit a new record high, beating even Trump’s record.
So instead of voting Green to reverse anthropogenic climate change, the vast majority instead voted for parties that accelerate it.
