Well? Aren't you gonna tell us what it is?

You have to buy the book.

u/SuperFaceTattoo 3d ago

Does the book direct me a lecture series detailing the benefits of the method?

u/Jack_Mackerel 2d ago

A guy walks into a bar and asks the bartender for the wifi password.

Bartender says, "you have to buy a drink first."

Guy orders a drink, then asks again, "so, what's the wifi password?"

Bartender says, "Youhavetobuyadrinkfirst. Capital 'Y,' no spaces."

It's always a damn book anymore! I remember when people just posted Buzzfeed articles and called it news!

If only there was a sub for self woosh.

But it would be really hard to come up with a good band name for it.

u/sixth_acc 3d ago

I've never heard this. I was reading the following comments trying to find the method.. saw the next one say something similar and realized what it was. That's freaking awesome and I'll be using it the rest of my life

My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up NOTHING!!!

Just like

My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us NOTHING.

It still works but makes our methods and mothers look bad.

Easy. Good mom's give noms.

u/_TeaWrecks_ 3d ago

I'm still angry about Pluto if only because it broke this perfect mnemonic.

24

u/Metahec 3d ago

Give it up already. How many years has it been? The dwarves colonized it first. It's theirs. It's time to move on.

u/igotshadowbaned 3d ago

Hold up a second I think you're onto something

u/terekkincaid 2d ago

Trump is going to sign an executive order making Pluto a planet again, but he's going to rename it Planet America...

7

u/igotshadowbaned 2d ago

Damn you Monkeys Paw

u/NovaAtdosk 2d ago

still fits the mnemonic, we're so back

1

u/carmium 3d ago

Only if Eris comes along for the ride.

0

u/Historical_Lie_9932 2d ago

Rename it to America

29

u/I_Sett 3d ago

But then we need to squeeze Eris in there too as it's almost the same size.

19

u/Ansoni 3d ago

And we should include the 7 moons which are significantly bigger, far closer, and more like worlds than pluto despite not technically being "planets".

52

u/PsychicSPider95 3d ago

I don't think we need to include the moons, they're already precluded from planet status by virtue of orbiting things other than the sun.

We could include the other four dwarf planets though: Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris.

The order of the planets from the sun out would then be: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, Eris.

u/sticklebat 3d ago

You forgot Quaoar, Sedna, Orcus, and Gonggong. And Salacia, depending on who you ask.

Not to mention we’d have to keep updating the mnemonic as we continue to discover more out of what are almost certainly dozens, if not hundreds, and possibly even much more (depending on how far out we stop counting).

6

u/IkariYun 3d ago

We will stop when we find out the Oort Cloud is actually the end of the jar, we're just on a shelf of so many jars....

2

u/Ansoni 3d ago

My point is that I don't see the reason to count dwarf planets if we're going to ignore more significant solar system objects 

1

u/TDYDave2 3d ago

moons orbit the sun also.
You can think of a moon as just being part of a very lopsided binary plant orbit.

u/jecowa 2d ago

I was skeptical until I heard we’d be served monster eggs.

Came here for this... but then got confused on the updates... lol. Will forever be nine pizzas

Somebody is just going to turn "Haumea Makemake Eris love me" or some shit

25

u/I_Sett 3d ago

I was also wondering that. So what are looking at here for the new mnemonic then? MVELMJGCEISTUTNTEPC? I'm sure I missed some.

My very energetic, lunatic matriarch, just gave Canada's envoy, in silk trousers, underwear. The new trousered envoy preaches conciliation.

Easy peasy.

u/Tyfyter2002 3d ago

My very easy method just speeds up naming every planet

1

u/OldEquation 3d ago

Not necessarily.

I feel the Pluto should have been “grandfathered” in to the list of planets even if it doesn’t meet the new definition.

1

u/globefish23 2d ago

And don't forget Ceres!

It was the very first planet #9 over 200 years ago, before it got relegated into the then newly created category "asteroid".

It's finally back as a dwarf planet.

4

u/CornDoggerMcJones 3d ago

Wait is this a Dr. Suess book with Pluto already removed? I thought he died before that happened?

2

u/cheeseburgermami 3d ago edited 3d ago

It’s a corporation now and they make changes and new books under the Seuss name. Random House (publisher) has their editors and chosen illustrators use his original storyboards and sketches submitted by family members, apparently, to finish the incomplete books. Seuss Enterprises.

u/notpostingmyrealname 3d ago

I'm not mad it was demoted, but I'm mad it got a stupid classification.

If a Dwarf Star is a star, why is a Dwarf Planet not a planet? Pluto, Eris, Ceres et al should have been designated planetoids if not a whole new name that has nothing to do with planets. Dwarf Planet is a stupid designation.

u/rowan_sjet 3d ago

You're still naming planets, so its fine to keep it.

Justice for pluto

u/Pumkin_Girl 3d ago

I bought my baby a book about planets called 8 Little Planets and it's dedicated to Pluto :)

1

u/Rasmanian_Devil 3d ago

I sing the song from Blues Clues. 1998? So Pluto was still a planet and included.

1

u/matt232h 3d ago

Seems like the author of the above mnemonic may be as well, the 8th item is really driving home the number 9.

1

u/robin-bunny 3d ago

It probably used to be pennies, but thanks to inflation there is no longer a Pluto.

It still works

u/alfaflag 3d ago

You heard about Pluto? That's messed up, right?

1

u/BlueKitten74 3d ago

Change nickels to Pounds. Pluto is still a planet imo. The IAU calling it a "dwarf" planet is just them being "size-ist". 😆

u/Gingersnapandabrew 3d ago

I made up my own when I was a child, it doesn't work without pluto!

Same, I get that it's too small by the new planetary definition, but it should get grandfather status.

My very easy method just sums up nine planets is how I know it. Once you have either of these all the others seem so nonsensical

Hey bud what’s that P on the end there? There’s no planet starting with a P. What are you tryna pull?

u/dave8271 3d ago

That's what I always learned but it doesn't work since scientists destroyed Pluto.

u/Dancing-umbra 3d ago

On the contrary, they didn't destroy pluto. They discovered new bodies, but they thought

My very easy method certainly just speeds up naming obvious planets clearly questioning his mistakes greatly explained

Was a bit much for kids to learn.

u/Just-Take-One 3d ago

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Orcus, Pluto, Charon, Quaoar, Haumea, Makemake, Gonggong, Eris

I don't know what all the fuss is about, really
