These mfers are like glitches in reality. Even trying to wrap my head around wtf they are freaks me out. How the hell can there be a thing in this universe that has infinite density? That doesn't even make sense.

Ugh

    Doesn't really bother me. They're just goofy stellar phenomena. Like there's a pulsar or something that acts like a relativistic flamethrower, firing out jets of atomic death that could sterilize planets lightyears away. No one would even know what hit them. Or like neutron stars? Or how the milky way and andromeda are going to collide in a few billion years? Space is wild but there's really nothing to do about it but sit back and grill.

      Eh, the Andromeda and Milky Way colliding is going to be such a slow event that you wouldn't even notice it's happening.

        I won't notice it because I don't have long-term plans to accommodate it into my own life 😌

      firing out jets of atomic death that could sterilize planets lightyears away.

      And that doesn't bother me either, if one of those hit us or the sun shit will go from everything's fine to instant death. Like visiting the Titanic in a fiber carbon submersible, either I get to tell a cool story lying about how cool the experience was, or I don't have nothing to worry about ever again.

      Tho if the death ray hits Jupiter maybe we survive long enough for things to be fucked.

        If it hits the sun, is the idea that the sun's explosion owns us and not merely that the sun is obliterated?

          I googled it and there are low chances of the sun getting hit by a gamma ray large enough to make it explode, my bad
