You’re right. We’d better store different cheeses together with some white wine, an assortment of spices and a bit of Kirschwasser. If it’s going to be raining fondue, we may as well do it in style!
Tbh the possesive form of “it” is a bitch. For all other words you do 's to indicate possession, but for this exact word you leave out the apostrophe. Whether vs weather, their, there, vs they’re, or your vs you’re, they all have nothing on this contra intuitive POS of a rule.

Only if the words are nouns, not for pronouns. “Its” is a possessive pronoun, like his, hers, ours, yours, theirs. None of those words use apostrophes.
No problem! Fwiw, I think you’re definitely right that it’s unintuitive, as is the English language’s love of homonyms in general. I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be for non-native speakers.
it’s interesting how non-native speakers almost never confuse those though
we make other kinds of mistakes, personally i really struggle with prepositions in every one of my non-native languages, because my native language doesn’t have them, but has a weird suffix system instead
Can’t we solve this problem like Elon would solve the problem and simply store the cheese in space?
Honestly storing cheese in space makes more sense than putting data centers in space
Due to orbital decay, it ends up raining fondue. It’s a huge mess.

I’d watch that as a gritty sci fi comedy

Put data centres in cheese!
The moon isn’t made of cheese … yet!
Only after announcing the cheese will be on Mars next year. Every year
“The first cheese to reach Mars!”
I want quicker access to cheese than space.
There will be a cannon attached that can fire the cheese directly to your doorstep with a little parachute attached for safe landing.
Okay, I’m in
Then what would Italy be known for without it’s cheese?
italy is cheese?

Motherforking shirtballs! You made it make sense. Of cause “it” is a pronoun, and thus follows pronoun rules. Thank you.

Specifically because it conflicts with the contraction “it’s”, at least that’s how I remember.

Because for native speakers we confuse the homonyms. Non-natives didn’t grow up hearing all these words pronounced exactly the same.
Ah Italy is on the moon
