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.
The rest of it is just rocks in space.
Rocks don’t have problems either
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.
Yeah it should be “star-stuff” refering to this quote of Sagan:
The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.
“I am the waking universe looking back at itself.”
The waking universe: huh, no floaters this time. (flush)
And I ended up being a gooner weeb…
Truly the pinnacle of evolution 🥹
I love it when my feed aligns 😁
It was the other way around for me lol
I am nuclear waste.
Forged in the heart of a dying star
Pretty metal
Still insignificant though!
Absurdism FTW!
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.
Not the other way round?
I would say the top panel can accept own insignificance while bottom panel creates a vision of grandiosity to protect the main character illusion.

Bottom pic: average character on Invincible
Am nihilism enjoyer, am bottom pic
Why can’t they both be chads?
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 your own qualia and it’s all you’re here to do, so you might as well try to live in those moments instead of always looking for what’s next or what the meaning is.
“Did…did I make all of this!?”
Significance is just a concept humans made up to make ourselves feel bad.
My brain added an ‘n’ to the first word of “waking universe” and I think it still works
Most of the atoms you’re made of were born in stars long dead; the rest were born in the big bang.
Is the star truly dead if it lives on in us?
Scientist: Yes.
oh. well ok then.
“You are not the centre of the universe!” Is just another person tells us that there aren’t me’s
