 No matter how much we pretend, we will never be able to comprehend the scale of universe. It's too large for our imagination.

 Yet we try to maps all of it. That says something. 
 💯 
 Its incredible to just ponder the infinite possibilities out there 
 We can't be the only life form....

Almost seems mathematiclly impossible  
 It could also be infinitely large, another thing humans can’t comprehend. 
 How’d we get this photo? 
 This was captured by JWST

 Was this sent millions of miles away?  How would it take a photo of us in it? 
 AI promt? 
 This bright "star" is Carina nebula, our solar system placed in for scale.

 Sure.

How was this photo taken? 
 Well… you first go to openai.com.. 
 Well, you first go fuck yourself 
 What? 
 Not sure.

Thought you were rolling me.

Had a lot to drink last night. 
 Seriously though, how is it possible to take this photo? 
 They are taking pictures of faraway galaxies using a telescope, and the little solar system drawing is just there to show the scale of each "star." 
 So, they’ve just show “us” for scale? 
 What time is it?
😉 
 So i don’t think you are the jailbreak rodent anymore because i am amused

 “Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”

 Bruh space is fake #bubblesinspace 
 Now we know how atoms feel about us
