Is that a Douglas Adams quote? That feels like Douglas Adams to me.
feels more like Lovecraft than Douglas Adams, tbh
Wow, I’m officially at the “Abyss staring back” part of my life now. Serves me right I guess.
That hits
Cosmic horror in a nutshell
Cosmic horror works because we really are as powerless as it tells us.
For your crimes against rodentkind, Rat Court sentences you to a handstand in the Chamber of Death.
No matter where you are on the planet, you’re never much more than 100 km away from the Kármán line. Death is (generally speaking) always just overhead.
You don’t have to get to the karman line to asphyxiate, the karman line is only relevant if you are trying to move faster to generate lift. The Death Zone starts at only 8 km altitude.
For your body to stay alive, a lot of things have to go right for the “engines” to keep running.
On the other hand, just a few things going wrong is all it takes to take down the overly complex Rube Goldberg machine that is your body; all being inevitable due to how entropy and randomness work in our universe.
Going by that logic, just a meter deep is a crushing death. And right where you are you could smash your head against something… which is at least also something that happens all the time, no need to look at theoretical far-away things when the boring truth is far worse.
And most modern cars are less than a second or two away from deadly speeds while driving if not already travelling at deadly speeds 😅
Don’t lots of us die falling off of toilets?
Dying on the toilet, then falling off, is common.
The poop process is a full body clench and it’s “common” for your “heart to pop” when you’re pooping.
So that’s fun.

Poor little thing. Hope it was loved by something.

Some say it still smells like roasted hot dogs
“Honey, did you leave the stove on?”
“I don’t think so. It’s probably the pans in the sink.”
