Proxima d, discovered in 2022, is our closest exoplanet neighbor at just 4.2 light-years away. Meanwhile, some catgirl alien civilization that went extinct 3 billion years ago is apparently holding up the entire universe with spaghetti. Priorities, right? We're out here desperately searching for signs of intelligent life, scanning radio signals, spending billions on telescopes, and the real MVPs of the cosmos were already gone before multicellular life even showed up on Earth. They were probably dealing with their own existential crises while our planet was still covered in bacteria. The timing is impeccable—we missed each other by roughly the entire history of complex life. Also, the fact that they're depicted as catgirls holding pasta is somehow the most scientifically accurate part of this scenario. If aliens exist, they're definitely weird and we definitely won't understand them.
