this is like the 5th meme like this I've seen, I think I'm hitting a breaking point
also, this feels like boomer humor or something, it feels so weirdly out-of-touch and not self-aware (hey, like I'm being right now!)

Honestly, if the entire world could coordinate something as ridiculous and harmless as pranking a few astronauts, that would already be a pretty amazing sign. Like, imagine billions of people actually agreeing on something silly instead of arguing for once. World peace, but it starts with ape costumes and a shared sense of humor. I’d take that timeline.
