Change the caption on the gears, and instead of pointing fingers at political parties, make it "We may or may not vote" on the left, then "Definitely not voting" on the right.

If you neglect elections and there's a seesaw every two years, sure, that's exactly what happens. But god forbid, to generate the requires electoral/political inertia for long-term change would require you people to... gasp!... make a tiny amount of effort one day a year. And we can't have that, now can we?

I was not looking for not something
and then I found everything of nothing
and heaven knows I'm miserable now

That's because you were looking for the upvotes.
It's right there on the study. If you had been troll-posting looking for the downvote lulz, you would have gotten the reverse. The reverse of. The reverse of the thing of the thing of the reverse of.

But in this context, it's about the loss of information, getting scrambled inside a black hole and then VERY slowly radiating back into space as gibberish.
It's a point where thermodynamics, entropy, Relativity and the quantum realm create a paradox - classical physics states that information supposedly cannot be destroyed... and yet in this extreme environment, it IS destroyed.

He might have had the microphone before, but then legions of non-voters granted him THE POWER over their lives!

Sody Pop!
In Mexico, in the north they're called sodas, in the center and south it's refrescos, and there might be a few weird, heathen pockets where they call them gaseosas.

It stills blows my mind that two navies have duked it out in Lake Champlain. Cannon fire battle, multi-day pursuits... that lake is looong!

 

This is what I'm visualizing:
A liquid ocean pressed against the inner side of Europa's ice crust, during high tide. Then the tide shifts and the water rushes away, leaving a gigantic hollow shell high above the ocean's surface, like a vast dome stretching towards the horizon in all directions, in total darkness.

Meanwhile, the tidal bulge has rushed halfway across the hemisphere, the water is now pressing against the ice crust there.

If the Jovian system's tidal forces can stretch and knead Io's mantle like silly putty, its' rocky surface rising and falling as much as 100 meters (about 300 feet) each tidal cycle... I can't even imagine how violently the water may slosh under Europa's ice crust.

One final note: considering that Europa is tidally locked with Jupiter, and it is Ganymede and Callisto that can pull in other directions, how long are the tidal cycles there? The principle is like on Earth, but there are extra gears in the mechanism, so to speak, different high and low tides may vary widely between each other.

 

The voice and the diction and the rhythm, Sir Alec elevates further what is already a stunning masterwork.

 

Wherever there is matter in an ever-thinning universe, there might be an entire cosmologically-sized era dominated by an entirely different chemistry to what we have now.
