Stars are spheres

Planets are spheres

Atoms are spheres

Butts? Well, those are just two spheres.

Why so many spheres?

Makes you think.

Edit: Fuck I made an orb pondering meme without even trying

      yeah well explain GALAXIES

      those look like disks to me, but I don't know maybe I'm just not an expert in big shapes like you are

        A lot of galaxies are spherical. Roughly, so - they're called elliptical galaxies. And while it's pretty complicated, as you might imagine, galaxies tend to become elliptical, as galaxies grow via cannibalization. And even disc-like spiral galaxies are still spherical when you consider the dark matter, which is every bit as much a part of a given galaxy as its stars are.

          Well, that can be said of just about anything, depending on what scale you're looking at it from.

              Ok, then saying "it’s not one big object it’s lots of objects so it behaves differently" can literally apply to anything. You can say that about a galaxy, a star system, a planet, a rock, a person, a cell, even an atom. So no offense, but the above is a non-answer. (Unless you were just joking, in which case, apologies for missing it).

        Galaxies wants to be spherical but the giant invisible hand of the free market keeps pressing them flat.
