T-Rex: Let's say I've got a bunch of things, and they can be sorted into categories, and I grab one completely at random.
T-Rex: Odds are it's gonna come from whatever category has the most things in it!!
T-Rex: Which makes sense, right? If I have 1000 completely average sandwiches and 5 rock-my-face-like-it-has-NEVER-been-rocked sandwiches, and I grab one at random, odds are I'm on an economy-class trip to Average Sandwich City.
Dromiceiomimus: I appreciate how you said "economy class" instead of "first class", thereby underlining how average these sandos are.
T-Rex: THANK you!
Utahraptor: I've heard of this! This is called "the principle of mediocrity"!
T-Rex: Sure is!!
Utahraptor: And with it you can argue that there's NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT EARTH. Odds are we're just a mediocre planet with mediocre life!
T-Rex: But the flip side is we're probably not alone, and other planets are full of equally mediocre life too!
T-Rex and off panel: HOORAY FOR A MEDIOCRE UNIVERSE!!
Off panel: Full of mediocre pals who might hang out with us until one of those cool species makes contact, and then they drop us and ghost
T-Rex: Wooooo
