Deep time is so annoying. Here I am walking around thinking that I am the main event. And really I will be dead for decades in 1 855,000th of the amount of time from us to the dinosaurs. What the hell universe!? There shouldn't be 855,000 human lifespans between us and a bunch of overgrown lizards-bird things.
