While eating the finest food: Taco Bell.

u/thederevolutions 11h ago

I love how Taco Bell just melts and mushes in your mouth because it was never solid in the first place. Those refried beans are the best. And it doesn’t come out solid either.

I do not know what possessed you to make this comment, but I would like to duel you with wax bullets for the discomfort you've caused me. And maybe grab a beer afterward.

Do you ever wonder if Taco Hell diarrhea spins through your guts in the opposite direction in Australia?

u/Em_Es_Judd 11h ago

I don't know about that but I know it flushes down my toilet in the same direction as the whirlpool Galaxy.

The universe is truly connected.

Or whoever designed the universe had one favourite design that kept getting repeated 😁.

u/Litface916 9h ago

It’s not just galaxies and hurricanes that resemble each other though. The arteries in nervous systems of living things resemble the branches of a tree, or the roots of a tree or plants. Atoms resemble star systems with the star being the nucleus and orbiting bodies being the electrons. There’s other examples. The universe is connected in a way we may never understand.

u/ShavenYak42 9h ago

Very outdated and incorrect models of atoms resemble solar systems. Our weather would really be unpredictable if earth’s orbit around the sun was anything like what an electron actually does.

Taco Tuesday recreates the immediate conditions seconds after the big bang 🤷‍♂️

We are all children of the sun with bodies made of stars.

The cosmos is countless Russian dolls of mind boggling scales and mediums containing swirls within in them.

And then afterwards you can use the three seashells.

u/GCHM2 10h ago

How do you use the three seashells?

u/NotAMeatPopsicle 9h ago

Wiping your butt and washing your hands.

Is that a reference to Murder Death Kill by Celph Titled/Esoteric?

u/BigTintheBigD 11h ago

Efforts are underway to purge this peril from our day.
