So what they‘re saying is that nothing around the world should have me worried?
Fermi paradox solved: We’re out in the boonies and no self respecting intelligent lifeform would be wasting their time wandering around here
Unless there is spice here which the Empire needs. Earth’s bio-organic molecules may very well be unique in the entire cosmos.
We have used almost all of our oil. That’s why they don’t want us.
We’re in space jail because we don’t play nice with others.
Also because we horny
Also because earth is a deathworld
What do they mean “trapped”? Is it a bad thing? Does it have any effect on anything earth-related? Is earth being held there by an unknown force?
Meaning that if we don’t immediately accelerate to near the speed of light, we are stuck here.
You better start pushing then
Gulagtic prison.
Isn’t stuff like this in the drake equation or something more up to date? Lack of activity or the right amount probably helps life.
on purpose heh. wouldnt be polite to drop us into polite galactic society as barbaric as we are
Yeah it’s like a couple hours into the party there’s that one guy who has a lot of distance around him because he’s already cornered everyone individually to ramble at them about his dumb hobby
Yeah, I figure once (signs of) life showed up in the atmosphere, galactic civilization probably started isolation/quarantine procedures until we can show we are actually social, civil, and communal instead of violent, competitive, and individualistic.
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
Not to mention good weather in the neighborhood, no gamma ray bursts nesrby or supernova or whatnot
Everything is in a giant void, dipshit. It came for free with the expansion of the universe
Not sure of the specifics on the article, but astronomical voids are their own specific thing, not just the vacuum of space.
Oh yeah? Well I have the oldest universe known to man.
Yeah but what is this void made of?!
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
Who knew we were on a chaos world trapped in the warp forever begging tortured for the amusement of the rich and powerful…
Why do they got skulls? Are they, like, the baddies?
That’s the fun part, they are all baddies!
Nah, there’s good guys. The problem is they live next to Space Rome and three different kinds of Attila.
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.
And a genocidal fascist.
It’s not subtle.
Bow to the dark ones and be set free kinda deal
So that’s why God is ignoring us. Earth rolled into his couch cushions and got lost.
JD Vance is the plague of gods couch cushions.
Would it help if we got out and pushed?
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.
