That really spoke to me.
What did it say?
It said, "Roses are red, downvotes are blue. In Soviet Russia, space explore you"
To me that is a metaphor for the empty space we feel when we get downvoted. The space explores us, trying to occupy our body and soul. But it is just an explorer, without any destination. It finds no resting spot, and then escapes to explore more space. A downvote may explore us with its feelings of despair, but it will always escape us and we will return to a dormant state of neutral indifference to neither downvote nor upvote.
Oh. I thought it was going to kick my butt twice as hard. But that works too.
Wow I can't believe it took me this long to understand that reference. I need to rewatch every episode now.
Woah. Put it on r/mildlyinteresting.
its cool, man. everything is mild around here.
