this site both looks legit and gives off "ufo believer" vibes","comments":[{"id":45825834,"user":"svnt","time":1762365542,"time_ago":"3 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

It is unfortunate that accepting the existence of alien life, which it is hard to argue is not a statistical fact, gives off those vibes.","comments":[{"id":45836579,"user":"oldgradstudent","time":1762444572,"time_ago":"3 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

There are at least 200 billion trillion stars in the universe that we are aware of. That is a number beyond our comprehension. Stars generate elements. Elements form molecules. Life is built on some of these molecules.","comments":[{"id":45851106,"user":"oldgradstudent","time":1762549590,"time_ago":"3 months ago","type":"comment","content":"
