So they named it Arrakis with severe tooth decay. Brutal.

When he says we *just* discovered this, he means it was discovered back in June of 2014, nearly 10 years ago.

First it's shaped like a snowman, now it's covered in sugar? Literally a giant Christmas cookie.

The Universe "I don't sugarcoat anything"
Arrokoth: "am I a f***ing joke to you?"

Nasa's next mission should be to stick a giant carrot on it, a big hat and scarf and something for eyes.

Do you want space ants!? Because that's how you get space ants!!!

So we’ve got the sugar planet and the spice planet from dune, now we just need the everything nice planet.

Sugar coated asteroids.. I'm on a diet so I'll wait for the sugar substitute asteroid

"Space Sugar" coming to a street corner near you.

My kitchen is full of sugar too, I wonder when life is going to apprear

During its formation it actually didn’t collide as the animation shows, but rather gently fused together over time! This is a recent development in our understanding of the solar systems formation known as gentle clumping :)

Willy Wonka been awfully quiet since Arrokoth was discovered

[DDWells]

That's dope, Nestle will be on that shit before we know it saying it's all theirs

Adventure Time was telling the truth...

Nice video but I have just one issue, the two components of Arrokoth did NOT come together in a big bang. It more likely gently nudged together and cuddled into each other, held together by their mutual miniscule gravity. Otherwise they'd be more like a pair of jagged pancakes or even just one big rubble ball.

Why do we expect other forms of life to rely on the same things as we do?

[ninjahvoand]

That's a life ingredient floating out there.
