A star fart.
A cosmic anxiety generator.
A sexy machine that took 14 billions of years to produce.

Am I the only one who finds comfort in being insignificant in the grand scale of the universe?
I’m just a speck my problems don’t matter in the grand scale of things I don’t want to be significant I want to be forgotten.

in fact, living in interesting times (or interesting situations, or interesting lifes) is considered a curse in china, because of all the responsibility and stress that comes with it.

This is why I get a lot of comfort stargazing at night. So much stress or worry melts away when the realization hits that nothing really matters anyway. I don’t think this is quite what Tolkien was going for with the scene where Sam sees a star up through a small opening in the gloomy sky when he’s struggling, but it’s how I took it.
I think the tricky part for some people is trying to figure out why living life should matter at all, then, but it’s always worked for me. Just because a moment ends doesn’t mean that the moment shouldn’t matter to you, if you find it fulfilling or meaningful.

“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here’s Tom with the weather.”
Valmond@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
If you know someone actually believing this kind of stuff (matter is created by me experiencing, everything is “vibrations”, where are my drugs… Jesus is the saviour, aliens built the pyramids, etc etc) how can you help them out of it, and shall you try?

I can do both of these flipping back and forth. Existential dread, awe, and purpose at the same time.
Also, Stardust takes on new meaning after Rogue One.

I was going to say I am column A and B, but I don’t cry about it.
We ARE miracles, we ARE “The Universe experiencing itself” and we are insignificant on the cosmic scale. Those things aren’t mutually exclusive.
ameancow@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
Both perspectives are equally valid. The universe has no right answer. There is no correct way to live, experience or perceive anything.
You don’t owe the universe anything, it doesn’t owe you anything. It may very well be inherently unknowable at some levels. Live your life the best you can, everything you experience, from joy to despair, pleasure and pain, it’s all just experience and it’s all you’re here to do.

Debt is an illusion because Mani Mani was never real. It’s not just an illusion. It’s a delusion of the illusion but the profusion of pollution is real!

humans are buildings, and just like buildings have plumbing and wire, humans live not alone: we have a huge number of parasites in our intestines and a large number of ideas in our brains that join us in our journey. i wonder how much of our actions are actually our own, and how many are caused by our circumstances.

The top panel is just the human ego speaking volumes. This is why we have main character syndrome, and some people think the universe owes them if they feel disappointed.

Most of the atoms you’re made of were born in stars long dead; the rest were born in the big bang.
