      I’d go with the imaginary route.

      You can make up how old it is since it doesn’t matter. Memes? Old as all hell. Breaking mews? Old as all hell. Doesn’t matter if it’s Musk Harris deep faked videos or slowpoke style news drops about clips of Monica blowies.

    Given that complex life as we know it is only about 500-600 million years old, around the time of the Cambrian Explosion, the only image that comes to mind is two Eukaryotic cells getting frisky, having a one replication stand, then parting ways

    That would be old as fucking. Fuck, the word, has been around in English for about 500 years or so. Shakespeare is old as fuck.

    “Old as balls”???

    That makes zero sense lol. Bravado, ego, pressure, these are the topics balls are in context with, not age.

      The word theory is used differently in science to how it is in common speech. In science, a “theory” represents humanity’s best possible explanation for something given everything we know. For example, the theory of gravity gives a reason for why things are attracted to each other, namely the bending of spacetime.

      Theories don’t become laws, either. Laws in science describe what happens, and theories describe how. To go back to gravity, the law of gravity is an equation that can tell you exactly how much two objects will be attracted to each other, but it can’t explain how that happens. That’s what the theory is for.

      Hope this helps!

        I have been reaching out to the object storage provider to see if I can increase the rate limits… Unfortunately I might need to change to a different provider to overcome this. Since the migration takes several days, especially so because of those same rate limits, I would rather avoid this…
