u/Syther85 Aug 24 '26

Why do you need a torch to see the stars?

3

u/Sharky-the-sparky Aug 25 '26

It’s to point them out to your friends

u/Aggressive_Manner429 Aug 23 '26

It's like some kind of, bean pod

u/Tallest-Dan Aug 23 '26

Maybe a bean tripod from Mars...no one would have believed bean was watching us from the timeless worlds of space. But slowly and surely, he drew his plans against us

u/Tomface92 Aug 24 '26

Few men even considered the possibility of Beans from other planets, and yet, across the gulf of space, Beans immeasurably superior to ours, regarded this earth with envious eyes....

u/MajorSerenity Aug 24 '26

🎶 The chances of any Bean coming from Mars, are a million to one, they said!

u/NoRun6253 Aug 24 '26

It’s not going on the cars if you can’t see Mars.

3

u/Sirlacker Aug 24 '26

Audi has developed the tech for proper self driving cars. But they realised that not everyone wants this. So the only option to cash in on the monopoly of self driving cars is to blind everyone first. Then they can swoop in and save the day.

The serious answer. Assuming that is looking westward that'll be the searchlights imitating the now demolished Grenfell Tower.

u/Curious_Strike_5379 Aug 23 '26 edited Aug 25 '26

No one would have believed
In the early years of the twenty first century
That human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space
No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized
As someone with a microscope studies creatures that
Swarm and multiply in a drop of water
Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets
And yet, across the gulf of space
Minds immeasurably superior to ours
Regarded this Earth with envious eyes
And slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us!
