        the scale is absurd for my monkey brain, its impossible for me to “get” it at all.

        Man, I think about that all the time. We aren’t even a drop in the bucket, not a blip in the history of the universe. To me that makes life immeasurably precious. We get to experience and explore a small moment of infinite vastness

        there isn’t one! So feel free to make it up, you probably won’t find it, or won’t know when you’ve found it, but the mere act of looking will point you in the right direction - going out and enjoying the absurdly rare phenomenon of being alive. You and I are a cosmic anomaly, friend, isn’t that cool?

        for a more comprehensive guide on what do when you realise life is meaningless: refer to existentialism and absurdism

          Aww, I appreciate the intent but it’s a joke. Thanks for looking out for your fellow humans, though. Good human.

    Somewhere in late 2000s I saw one of the most mind-melting GIFs I’ve seen that compared the Solar System objects to the largest known stars at the time. This kinda reminded me of that.

    I was just thinking of such a similar comparison today with a similar way of comparing them! (Earth<<Sun<<SagittariusA)

    I read it as “stepson” and thought it was a low res picture of pizza. I guess I am a bit sleep deprived.

    Good effort. I feel the dream, and it’s so much more. Life ain’t good, it’s a FUCKING lot, and there’s some good. Don’t search, just feel yo. FEEEEeeeEeEl.
