      Yeah it’s like a couple hours into the party there’s that one guy who has a lot of distance around him because he’s already cornered everyone individually to ramble at them about his dumb hobby

      Yeah, I figure once (signs of) life showed up in the atmosphere, galactic civilization probably started isolation/quarantine procedures until we can show we are actually social, civil, and communal instead of violent, competitive, and individualistic.

    It’s a good thing the rate of catastrophic collisions with neighboring bodies is at its lowest in a void. At this point we may as well assume our lack of neighbors was beneficial to our being here in the first place

    So that’s why God is ignoring us. Earth rolled into his couch cushions and got lost.

    Probably the pre-Sol star that burst a lot of matter out, and we’re something that was left somehow.

    One thing’s for sure, I’m going to sit at home and criticize every well-intentioned solution made in good faith that I see posted on the internet while I plant my eyes on a screen all day doing nothing substantial to help solve the problem or support the ones who might be able to make a difference.

    I looked into it, and it’s our whole galaxy that’s maybe in a void. There’s plenty of space inside our galaxy to not give a shit about what’s not here.

    it actually might be the reason we’re around, because in more “populated” areas, unfortunate cosmic events are more frequent too

    “They’re made of cheesits.”
    “Cheesits?”
    “Cheesits. Those orange fuzzy things that crunch. One of their world leaders even looks like one.”
    “But how do they communicate?”
    "They rub their cheesit bodies together to make non-commital sounds like ‘I cant even’ "
    “That’s too weird. Let’s quarantine this place and get the hell out of here.”
    “Agreed. At least they cant harm us out here.”
    David Blaine teleports behind them both with a pack of cards.
