gollark: Again, random noise? There are a lot of places you can read out information and a lot of different things you can compare against.

gollark: Oh yes, light speed is annoying too. Also how even the planets are mostly really boring.

gollark: The remaining volume is mostly stars, in which you will very very rapidly die.

gollark: Not climate change and whatever, it isn't *that* bad compared to the fact that the vast, vast majority of volume in the universe is basically useless empty space in which you will very rapidly die.

gollark: Aha, I was right, they ARE just reading far too much into random noise.
