Are we not counting Taylor Swift?

I've been living in the solar system for awhile, and lemme tell you, that rating's pretty accurate. Now if only I could find the manager to make a complaint...

Ours is the only solar system anless some other alien grots named their star Sol.

The article "the" in "the solar system" means that we are talking about one specific solar system. It's left for the reader to decide which one should be assumed, but in this case it's actually clear that ours is meant.

That means, it's clear that the meme is talking about our solar system, not some other solar system somewhere nor some bunch of solar systems.

Our sun developed in a big cloud together with a whole family of other stars. They all share the same composition. They've tracked most of them. The closest is relatively close by and just a bit heavier than ours.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

just a bit heavier than ours.

How rude!

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Yes it do, think about it!

There are more quarks in a single helium atom than planets in the solar system.

Remember, Linda McMahon is in charge of the US Department of Education.

We should never forget the hydrogen Bob that ended the beautiful country of Samholy, that famous Samholian country just 2 miles west of SanDiego's Petco Parker. One cup of pure water contains more than enough hydrogen to do that and more. Samholy, ah yes the beautiful country of Samholy.

And I really hope it stays that way, at least until it's not my problem to worry about anymore.
