what are the changes and why?

can't post this and expect us to carry on

Yeah! I'm barely able to get mad about this with no information!
This sort of thing happens all the time, and it's usually subject to some level of debate. Just look at the ponderosa pine (pinus ponderosa. Some say there is one species with multiple subspecies, some say they are just different varieties, some say that they are different species, or some are and some arent, etc.

From henceforth "trees" shall now be called "tall wavy bois" and "flowers" shall be known as "colorful stemmy bennies."

I will not be taking questions.

Pluto is a planet!

The only reason Pluto is no longer a planet is because we discovered there were loads more planets and couldn't be bothered to acknowledge their existence!
- i've spent 25 years on this blue marble fascinated by space, and only recently discovered there multiple long orbit dwarf planets going around the sun??? that is so cool why is this not widely known!
- It's been like that for decades to be honest. Ceres used to be called a planet, but you don't see anyone complaining about it's demotion
- Unpopular opinion: dwarf planets are cool.
- but so what?
  we used to have a handful of elements, but when we kept discovering more, we didn't change the rules to have elements, and "strange elements" so schools only have to teach about 16 elements.
Yes, a dwarf planet!
- And Jupiter is a Gas Giant, but we still count it as one of the planets of our solar system
Pluto's not a planet, but he doesn't care because he knows he's hot shit.

Pluto is a ~~planet~~ plant!
- Pluto is a dog!
The most performative "hurr durr science" bullshit ever. Who fucking cares if Pluto was considered a planet when you were a kid?
Not you specifically. There are people who really seem to care about this shit.

NPC wojak: "I love science."

"Science says sex and gender are two different things."

NPC wojak gets angry: "Science was corrupted by the Jewish cabal! See: John Money!"

John Money is not Jewish, but is pushed by transphobes with the hope you'll accuse him being one.

forget about John Money
look into Magnus Hirschfeld, had the first gender clinic and did research and surveys on gender, he pioneer gender treatments and helped transsexual people (that's was the name back then)
he was Jewish and was targeted by the Nazis exactly how you said.
The famous book burnings started out when they raided his institute and burned all his research.
- Using Martin Hirschfeld has the issue of not being able to sell the myth of "transgenderism is a recent thing".

meanwhile,

we still refuse to call Sonic th hedgehog protein anything else.

I mean, I'm ngl sometimes I do feel like I gotta go fast.
Sometimes I also want to curl up into a ball, too.
- So no one can see me because I'm so small

Potatoes are now called potatoes

Cue in the guys about to get hanged meme. Paleontologist asking the Botanist, "First time?"

which plants though? are you making shit up?

I'll be damned if you expect me to start calling it a Brazil nut

Coleus amboinicus -> Plectranthus amboinicus and I'm back to having no coleus, I'll never forgive

Looked it up because I hadn't heard of it. Wikipedia say the following:
Common names in English include Indian borage, country borage, French thyme, Indian mint, Mexican mint, Cuban oregano, broad leaf thyme, soup mint, Spanish thyme.
What? So does it taste like a mix of borage, thyme, mint and oregano?? Sure, they are all Lamiaceae (except for borage), but they have wildly different aromas!
- There are something like twelve common names in english, it was introduced to me as "oregano brujo" (wizard's oregano). It's most strongly oregano in its aerosol phenols but when I've used it in meals (usually in a slow cooker) it's got notes of the thymol that come through.
