One thing's for sure, I'm going to sit at home and criticize every well-intentioned solution made in good faith that I see posted on the internet while I plant my eyes on a screen all day doing nothing substantial to help solve the problem or support the ones who might be able to make a difference.

So that's why God is ignoring us. Earth rolled into his couch cushions and got lost.

It's a good thing the rate of catastrophic collisions with neighboring bodies is at its lowest in a void. At this point we may as well assume our lack of neighbors was beneficial to our being here in the first place

Would it help if we got out and pushed?

Everything is in a giant void, dipshit. It came for free with the expansion of the universe

Oh yeah? Well I have the oldest universe known to man.

Yeah but what is this void made of?!

That's stellar not galactic scale

it actually might be the reason we're around, because in more "populated" areas, unfortunate cosmic events are more frequent too

I looked into it, and it’s our whole galaxy that’s maybe in a void. There’s plenty of space inside our galaxy to not give a shit about what’s not here.

Oh, that explains... gestures broadly

Bow to the dark ones and be set free kinda deal

Why do they got skulls? Are they, like, the baddies?

That's the fun part, they are all baddies!

They had a based designer, but yeah.

Part of the point is that the Emperor is also not perfect. He got too full of himself which led to his deification against his will. He was also literally an imperialist and an authoritarian.

As I interpret the lore his intentions were largely noble but his hubris and refusal to acknowledge the existence of the Chaos gods led to the disillusionment of many of his kids/generals, thus leading to the Horus Heresy and the shitty state of the 41st millennium.

Quoting THE GOD EMPEROR OF MANKIND:
"Guys im not a god, just a man"

I'll go and see whos knocking on my door now.

Though joking aside, yeah that was the issue. He was just human. Powerful one, but still a human.

Holy crap! trump is really screwing up, on a galactic scale. /s

"They're made of cheesits."
"Cheesits?"
"Cheesits. Those orange fuzzy things that crunch. One of their world leaders even looks like one."
"But how do they communicate?"
"They rub their cheesit bodies together to make non-commital sounds like 'I cant even' "
"That's too weird. Let's quarantine this place and get the hell out of here."
"Agreed. At least they cant harm us out here."
David Blaine teleports behind them both with a pack of cards.

My first thought.

Galactic Quarantine.

We got put in time-out.

Saw a video about this. Apparently galactic voids are pretty hard to enter for reasons that elude my 6am brain. Something to do with gravity.

In astronomy, Galaxy clusters are just areas where the density of galaxies is above average and voids are areas where the density is below average. Galaxies attract each other, so the material for Galaxy clusters has to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is voids.

I think it's to do with the combined gravity of the "strings" of galaxies, stars, etc. being far stronger than nearly nothing.

So a black hill.

Not again!

Just give it a few million years.

Millions? Ah!
