I read somewhere there are at least 6 possibilities:

1. Dark forest theory - read at least book 1 and 2 of three body problem series or google for spoilers
2. A filter exists, or more plainly something that always causes a civilization to eventually fail.
3. Similar to Star Trek, other civilizations are waiting for us to pass a threshold before contact is made.
4. Carl Sagan: the universe is so large and intelligent life is so sparse, we just haven’t come across them yet.
5. Life on our planet is unique to the entire universe
6. Could also be a mixture of some of these.

Whatever it is, it’s a fascinating problem and I like Carl Sagan’s approach.

Everyone knows you should keep your armys in your sleevys.

The crossover nobody asked for but we all need.

Spoiler alert: I don’t think it’s just the EPA.

It’s bigger on the inside.

Jim Henson muppet vibes.

Those markings are fantastic. It’s like right after the cookies it went to inspect a jumbo permanent marker.

What a strange thing to think. They might not be physically imposing but they sure are in many other ways.

Yes, we all have these moments.

Another thing to consider is quality. I’ve had a pair of Bose over ear headphones for 9 years that I bought on sale for about 200$. I treat them like crap and they keep on kicking. I’ve replaced the ear pads twice for 20$. Sometimes quality is worth factoring in too.

Um, is Hollow trying to smile?

It must be amazing to have the nose sensitivity of a dog, to enjoy smelling everything and have smells rammed up your nose at highway speeds.

To absolutely no one’s surprise.

Shrek vibes

I don’t think most cats like wearing things. When our cat got spayed we were worried she was licking the stitches too much and put a sock on her. She just fell over and stayed like this. She rated it 0/10, was not a fan.

I like irony here that the headline focuses on the “closed on Sunday” bit rather than a vending machine provided by a company that specializes in fried chicken in a place where health is important.
