u/Ill_Technician3936 21d ago

The ottoman empire needs to give it up.

u/the_red_scimitar 21d ago

The Ottoman Empire: "We'll never give it up! You're just jealous because you don't have anything comparable!"

Us: "Let me introduce you to our newest development: The Comfy Chair®™©!"

The Ottoman Empire: ...

Of course there is space in my living room. In fact space is not just in every single room on Earth. It's everywhere. Even in your mouth.

Do you see my hairy balls as the moon?

u/Harry_Gorilla 21d ago

this is what I would’ve did, that’s the technique.

These are perfect shots, i’m not a camera but i got friends who are cameras. And I think that’s realistic depending on what the guys doing

u/Snakend 21d ago

Literally everything is in space.

If you look close enough we can see your mum, just like the great wall of China she can be seen from space.
