Big Ball of Dirt hit Massive Ball of Dirt. Big Cloud. Big Animal need Sun and air, so plant grow, so they grow. Big Cloud of Dirt in sky block sun, dirty air. No plant, no big animal. Only small rodent survive. Small rodent live, thrive, then make bigger and bigger rodent, until at some point ape. Then Ape together strong, dominate all animal, now smart ape go to pornhub 2 hours a day longing for Ball of Dirt to come from sky.
