        It’s an age thing. Being taught one thing and having it changed seemingly arbitrarily bothers some people. Most Americans don’t know Pluto was discovered by an American. Afaik if we kept Pluto as a planet then we would have to make room for Eris, Makemake, Haumea, Ceres etc.

    Wasn’t allowed, lest they damage the paint coming off later. My dad was (and is) a stick in the mud.

    The house where I was growing up had wooden beamed ceilings so these wouldn’t really work. They’re ideal for houses with white drywall ceilings where they’ll blend in perfectly during the day, and also because houses with drywall ceilings have smooth continuous surfaces to apply them to.
