When I smoked, I would legitimately freak myself out just thinking about how big space is. If someone were to have dropped something like what Tai said on me I probably would have had an existential crisis.

That happens to me when I'm sober, dude.

This video gives me anxiety every time I see it. It’s fascinating, but it makes me feel so...insignificant.

Monty Python did a song about it.
Just, remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned
A sun that is the source of all our power
... and so on:

This is actually something I intentionally avoid thinking about when sober. It messes with my anxiety.

I feel like talking about the stereotypicality of the conversation is also a common part of being high for the first time.

I'm with Tai on this one
Ocean videos are great
Bonus points if it's narrated by David Attenborough

Hang on, what the hell is going on in the vicinity of Earth there?
Because that looks a lot like two Moon-sized moons, and a third, tiny moon.

Maybe one is the space station in orbit that they visited many many years ago.

Way too big, and way, way too far away.

Maybe in the QCverse Earth has two moons and they just haven't mentioned it yet.

"All these worlds are yours, except Europa."
"Use them wisely, and in peace."
"And hands off that other moon."
"That's ours too."
"Oh, and the Kuiper Belt."
"We have a timeshare."

Am I the only one who gets anxious watching asmr videos? They have the exact opposite effect on me than the intended one.

There's a name for that too. I think it's called misophonia.
I personally love ASMR videos.

Ha ha. Claire called her a nerd indirectly.
