Scientists discovering dark energy isn't what they thought is peak cosmology drama. Three major publications all reporting the same existential crisis within 24 hours? Typical. We name something "dark energy," admit we have no idea what 68% of the universe is made of, and then act shocked when our guesses turn out wrong. Next they'll tell us dark matter is actually just regular matter wearing sunglasses. The universe continues its longest-running prank: making physicists rewrite textbooks every time we think we understand something.

Saturn's moon collection is getting ridiculous. The gas giant is basically that neighbor who hoards random junk but calls it "collecting." 274 moons? What's next—a loyalty program where the 300th moon gets a free set of rings? Meanwhile, Earth is stuck with one measly moon that doesn't even have the decency to provide decent WiFi. Astronomers keep "discovering" these tiny space pebbles and giving them fancy moon status, when half of them are probably just cosmic dust that got trapped in Saturn's gravitational thirst trap. The Star Wars Senate alien is all of us watching these astronomical press releases—completely done with Saturn's attention-seeking behavior.
