Description

Here's a transcription of the text from the comic:

Panel 1: Person 1: Dear God, why does everything seem to be falling apart?
Person 2: Oh that. Well, human life is without meaning. Has been since 1983.

Panel 2: Person 1: 1983?
Person 2: Everyone's favorite movies up here are the Star Warses.

Panel 3: Person 2: We have a game where you try to rig up the most complex Rube Goldberg machine that ultimately creates those movies.

Panel 4: Person 1: We were put here to make Star Wars?
Person 2: Empire Strikes Back in particular, yeah.

Panel 5: Person 1: Anyway, this universe took 14 billion years with about 10^^110 instances of cause and effect, which puts it easily in the top 20% of entries.

Panel 6: Person 1: But wait. We can still have meaning - what about the other Star Warses?
Person 2: There are three Star Wars movies. Three.
