“If gravity can attract an object as comparatively small as an apple to the earth (a colloquial observation by the guy Sir Newton), then you can attract an eligible mate of your preferred gender (an idea often disputed by doomer ideology).

Continue to strive for fulfillment”

Look at me, now I am the one who kills jokes by explaining them

Just make sure they are 1/3*10^25 of your mass.

  I guess that means ye mum is fair game (rapidly double checking to make sure that is a large number)

    Lol depends on your mass compared to hers. In order to attract something to your mass in the same way that the earth does an ape then the other body would need to be roughly 1/30000000000000000000000000th your mass to be so attracted.
    
    Also helps if you’re in a vacuum and under the influence of no other massive bodies.

    Btw to make numbers small, the exponent needs to be negative, so it would be 3*10^(-25)

Right, seen the original quote before, just my brain wasn’t parsing the butcher’s bits of the meme. Thanks for ruining the joke, I chortled.
