gollark: > Born too late to explore the world / Born too early to explore the starsIt's not like being on some sort of ship voyage to a faraway place which you stand a decent chance of not coming back from would be very nice. Nowadays you can travel basically most of the planet very cheaply and with low risk, and find stuff which is new *to you* if not to everyone.
