OK, ladies. How many of you have at one time or another said something like, “if it’s meant to be, it’ll happen. The universe is listening to me.” Yeah? Well Bill Nye has something to say to you.

“That makes no fucking sense.”

For real. Watch the effing hilarious clip with Bill Nye from “Inside Amy Schumer” below.

NASA scientists (via the spacecraft Cassini) have discovered a chemical on one of Saturn’s moons, that’s widely used in plastic production here on Earth.

The late George Carlin once noted that it’s quite possible humans were put on earth for one specific reason: to create plastic. “The earth doesn’t share our prejudice against plastic,” noted Carlin. “Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it anyway. It wanted plastic for itself.”

And Earth might not be alone in that quest with the discovery of the chemical propylene on Saturn’s moon. Propylene, which can be found in household items including plastic containers, carpets, paints and car bumpers, was detected on Titan. “This chemical is all around us in everyday life, strung together in long chains to form a plastic called polypropylene,” Conor Nixon, a NASA planetary scientist and lead author of a paper detailing the new research said in a statement. “That plastic container at the grocery store with the recycling code 5 on the bottom — that’s polypropylene.”

According to Space.com, “Scientists have found that hydrocarbons — which make up fossil fuels on Earth — form on Titan after sunlight breaks apart methane and the chemicals reform into chains of two or more carbons. Voyager found evidence of the heaviest three-carbon hydrocarbon, propane, and the spacecraft also discovered propyne — one of the lightest in the family.”

Titan is roughly half the size of Earth and the second largest moon in the solar system behind Jupiter’s Ganymede.
