I think Jiminy might not be crying about the dead dreams. He's probably crying about the huge astro-mathematical errors imbedded in that joke. 😁

Well....ummm ...of course he is!

Indeed, that is absolutely true.
The farthest star from us (in the MW) is no more than 100,000 LY or so.
The info in E-A's pic holds true only for the Andromeda galaxy and objects beyond it.
And at those distances single stars are not naked-eye discernible.

There's the 1974 South African (mainly) documentary film "Animals Are Beautiful People" that has a scene with several species eating eating fermented fruit of the Marula tree. Criticism has suggested that some parts may have been staged (or taken out of context), but for a lot of the critters it's plausible. And the film shows quite a few interesting aspects of wildlife in the Namib desert, the Okavango River and (inland) Delta, and the Kalahari desert.

I felt empowered by the recent canary incident.

And @Olorgando takes a bow, center stage....

Why did you need to feel empowered, belonging to a late cohort of the boomers?
Flawed jokes have increased exponentially in the last decades, trashing them should be a natural reflex.

Why should I take a bow (anywhere) for something so obvious?

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Ahem.

 

[Deimos]

Ahem.
