Sorry, but by the official definition of the International Astronomical Union, only a spherical hog would count as a planet. Although I have no doubt this giant hog is able to its orbit completely of everything else floating around there (which of course is the problem with Pluto).

*10th Planet

Thank you very much.

Controversial or not, some of us still believe ̶P̶l̶u̶t̶o̶ Your Mum's Ass is and always has been the 9th planet orbiting our Sun. 😄👌

We need an astrophysicist in here to determine what the Bluesky user count would have to be before the hog’s mass becomes so great it becomes a black hole.

the pig has left orbit and is currently on a collision course with Mars, bracing for history's most existentially-risky game of snooker. this is an intergalactic farminomenon unlike anything experienced since the Big Bang

The furries of the Spontoon Islands have launched a "sub-orbital test flight" which failed to make the predicted splashdown. For some reason they're still in boost phase...

You can't trust the paperwork these days. But they can count down in Cornish.

So would this thing have four Lagrange points becuase of its oblong shape? Or would it have, like, multiples/two big ones in a row on each side of its long axis?

This little in-joke has so many layers you could write bad student paper about them. Except for when you open the whole name of the page and the layers all collapse into a single one like a house of cards.

At what point would the weight of the hog cause total collapse and a resulting Black Hole? And would we then get sucked into said Hog-Hole?

To ensure nobody makes a pig's ear of this we need an answer from @profbriancox.bsky.social

According to Wikipedia it can be up to 400 Agronomical Units for a supermassive black hog!

I would be more concerned about the hog gaining extra mass by accreting matter from the astroroid belt. Then, going on the rampage, swallowing up the rest of the planets before satisfying its appetite on the sun.

Reverse touring this set of tweets* was like trying to find the origin of life, and the answer was about as meaningful.

There are responsibilities that come with the title of planet and soon Merl will be obliged to curl up into a ball.
