Let's build another one.

 

 

Ace.

Wasn't Phobos where Doom was set?

It's mad 

Millions of miles away on an uninhabited planet there's a robot taking pictures of us

Billions of people in that dot

And here we are. Spending all day falling out about 11 blokes booting a footy about. 

It’s a photo. I’m possibly a pleb but is this that exciting?

In the cold (sober) light of day, I was perhaps a little unenthusiastic in the small hours. Blame the red wine.

you know when you look up at the sky at night

all you see are stars on which no on lives, and some planets on which no one lives

what you're seeing there is a dot of light where billions of people live

out of all this here in this pic, we have no idea what is out there, probably nothing

 

 

but that pic from mars is the only dot in the sky we've ever seen where we know 100% someone lives there, and we only know that because it's us

you are nothing mate

fuck all

just a pleb in a sea of infinity

and isn't that a comforting thought

This hurts more than my head.

Correct. Specks of dust which we all return to one eventually.

Just accept it and you'll be fine. Make the most of what you get.

I still find evolution remarkable. 

The fact that simple gases like cyanide, hydrogen, methane can combine in certain ways, under certain conditions to form basic building blocks like amino acids, and then these bump into each other, under certain conditions to start life.

And at what point did a twatting fish somehow climb onto land and think "fuck me, this is a bit of alright- breathing is a tad difficult, but at least it's dry!"

What are the chances?

What are the chances of Evatt changing his philosophy?

Brain ache stuff.

it didn't even start off as a fish, just nothing at all

(don't quote me on this)

then some volcanic eruption caused a tetonic plate shift

which created a vaccum of air in the ocean with plumes of energy, where molecules bumped into each other, and started evolving

into something

into something else

into something that eventually swam around

and something else that got out

yeah

i don't get it either

it's so amazingly random and as close to impossible as you can get whilst obviously being possible

And add in the fact oceans were also only created by a similar unlikely chain of events prior to all that …

6 , had Sunday off. 

 

At current estimates, there are approximately 10,000 stars for every grain of sand on Earth.

Suppose Sunday was double time and Saturday time and half. Good choice
