Congratulations, you won a brand new galaxy!

Your new galaxy will be delivered in only 3 billion years, to a drop-off point only 1 million light years from your home planet. With this cutting-edge protogalaxy, which will be mature upon delivery, you will find incredible features such as:

  • supermassive black hole
  • exotic spacefaring lifeforms
  • intriguing dense matter that does not emit radiation, you'll never have enough
  • unique and enthralling galactic formations, each with ancient magical myths told in history by the spacefaring lifeforms
  • and the ability to grow brand new stars!

Slightly creepy, NGL172.69.34.10

Warning, horrible content: The universe was created by the severed bloody hands of google employees convincing phone manufacturers to ditch the previous phone backends and explode the google play store throughout reality in a mess of intergalactic gore. Our planet developed from an angrybirds download, nourished by the decaying corpse of the owner who played it all their life. 172.70.110.209 20:37, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

So apparently this is a real thing, which I never knew wikipedia:Angular_diameter_distance#Turnover_Point 108.162.221.81 20:46, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Could be related to comic 1422, what with both containing expanding phones analogous to some cosmic structure. 172.70.130.105 21:46, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

1422 has been crapped. 172.70.126.221 21:50, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

So confusing…I thought that 13 billion years ago they had flip phones. JohnHawkinson (talk) 22:32, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Before this explanation is marked “complete” it had better mention that “sinking into dilute blood” is a terrible (one could even say ignorant or stupid) description of red shift, completely missing the fundamental cause and completely distorting the effect. 108.162.216.159 23:23, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Hooray!

Something good is happening!!!!!! 172.70.126.215 21:22, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

No. It just means you can't get a date tonight. Again. (I presume you're the "crap"per, right? Eager to fill your own worthless life by making everybody else actually feel useful... How ironic.) 172.70.91.36 00:08, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
I thought it was just a visitor I worried I had badly depressed with my story of severed google hands, wanting to add positivity. 162.158.79.112 00:21, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
the "crap"er is a bot called "Explain xkcd server admin". -> https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/User:Explain_xkcd_server_admin/common.js Firestar233 (talk) 00:11, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
Yes, same (style) as the umpteen previous times. No imagination and rather boring.
Now I'm limited in what I can do (still, been reverting pages left right and centre, to hold my bit up) but the "Hooray!" commenter (as, I suspect, the one who 'wished the crap would happen again' the other day, or words to that effect) seems to be very much like someone's idea of taunting us, thus proving that he (if you'll excuse that assumption) can't get laid and for some reason they haven't discovered the more solo method of getting their rocks off, so he's rubbing up against us and trying to generate the satisfying feeling of friction in his groin.
(You know when your dog has a favourite stuffed toy? Like that.)
Pretty boring, really, for us. But small things amuse small minds. And maybe that's the reason why. Also having small... 'feet'. Too shy to show his 'feet' to girls. Can't earn enough to get 'feet' enlargement surgery. No personality either. Pity. 172.70.85.211 02:43, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
