The theory that the universe was seeded with banana life by an intergalactic precursor race of bananas? It’s possible, but so far there is no hard evidence, and I don’t think OP is claiming to have taken a picture of an alien banana.
A couple problems here:
- The image resolution isn’t high enough for a banana to be visible at this scale.
- This isn’t the Milky Way (it’s impossible to take a picture from outside our own galaxy), so bananas do not exist there. This means the banana would have to be photoshopped in, in which case you might as well photoshop a map scale.
Nice picture, but I call BS 🤔
Edit: Omg, I forgot to mention the most obvious giveaway. Our supermassive black hole doesn’t have a quasar! Busted!
That alien doesn’t even have a numeral for 4, so it wouldn’t have a word for it either. If it speaks English, uses base 4, and uses the same words we do for numbers, it would sound like this when counting rocks: “One, two, three, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, twenty…”. But when it says “twelve”, it means the same thing as when we say “six”.
The joke: In any base X, the Xth number is always the first number to require a second digit. Base 4 goes 1,2,3,10,11,12,13,20,21,etc. Base 7 goes 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,etc.
Brand name laxative in the US. “Smooth move, Ex-Lax” was a sarcastic response in the 90s.
I think it’s a joke about an attempt to formulate the single racial slur that most closely correlates to all slurs at once
So the x-axis should be the same as the y-axis in this case?
How do you calculate the cosine of a slur? Is that the joke?

Let’s assume there is one until someone proves otherwise.
