Existential threat Memes

The meme perfectly captures humanity's approach to existential threats. In about 7 billion years, our sun will enter its red giant phase and expand enough to engulf Earth's orbit. Yet here we are, depicted as having the same climate change debate even as the apocalypse looms. One person suggests reasonable action while another dismisses it as a hoax with some classic NIMBY attitude. Stellar evolution doesn't care about your political stance, unfortunately. The universe's timescale makes our procrastination look particularly absurd - like waiting until the day before your dissertation is due to start writing it, except the dissertation is planetary survival.

Gamma Ray Bursts staring intensely at planets with life is cosmic-level stalking! These massive energy explosions are like the universe's most dramatic photobombers—releasing more energy in seconds than our sun will in its entire lifetime. They're basically the universe's way of saying "I see you developing complex life forms over there... would be a shame if something... happened to it." Talk about an existential threat with attitude! Thankfully, Earth hasn't been in the crosshairs of these celestial snipers yet, or we wouldn't be here making memes about them!
