I don’t know why but Neil licking his finger before scrolling on his phone like an old man would to turn a page in a newspaper is so funny

In another lifetime I served in the US Navy, and one of my favorite moments was going topside during darken ship. Out there on the open sea, with all the lights off and the world silent, I’d look up and see the night sky in its raw, untouched form. No city lights, no distractions, just stars lighting up the darkness like a cosmic masterpiece. Being that far from land, it felt like the ship was drifting through space itself, with nothing but ocean below and the universe above. The stars didn’t just twinkle, they burned. It was one of the most awe-inspiring, humbling sights I’ve ever experienced. Nights like that never leave you. They remind you how vast and beautiful the cosmos really is.

Why is the universe running away? Chuck: because we're being chased by another universe. That was such an underrated answer. I loved that.
