In the beginning, the universe was created. This made many people very angry, and is widely considered to be a bad move.

If you want to make a clock, you must first invent the universe.

He should have called it a teenyverse.

By some definition, anything that allows measuring time is a clock. It might be a weird clock, but clock still.

These are words that are possible to put together in a headline, but don't actually make any sense.

I know Rick and Morty gets a lot of flak for being cringe, but the episode where Rick's essentially car battery dies is hilarious. He has an entire universe inside of his ship's battery and inside of it there are little devices that he gave them to use to generate power that he extracts. They stopped using them. He goes inside to diagnose, only to find that a genius inside of his world made a device that works entirely the same as his own. But it stops working. So the pair and their company go inside that battery universe to trouble shoot, only to find it happened there too!

Why should we worry about keeping time when we can just outsource the problem?

Terry Pratchett stuff

If something is moving, time is involved.

Builds a cage. Shakes it, things inside rattle. Leaves it be, things inside do not rattle.
