My first thought? We, or at least we Americans need a new name for Uranus. For the vast majority, once you see that name, you immediately go into “giggle suppression mode”.
Maybe a poll should be taken.

“We, or at least we Americans need a new name for Uranus.”

No, No we don’t

Studies show that mental health metrics have been going down alarmingly in the last 3+ years. ( the cause unknown )

“giggle suppression mode” every once in a while has been proven good for brain health”

Many MRI studies on depressed people who are self proclaimed liberals have shown that the part of their brain which allows “giggle mode” is atrophied and scared.

Uranus is the only planet NOT named after a Roman god. The Roman name would be Caelus.

Makes you wonder.
