A two-panel SMBC comic. A yellow banner caption reads "Cosmology has really improved my age insults." In the main scene, a smiling young man with red hair in a blue shirt stands and gestures, saying, "Hey Dad! Remember when quark-gluon plasma condensed into matter?" Beside him, an elderly bald man with round glasses and a green shirt sits in a red armchair, looking annoyed, and replies, "Fuck you, son." The joke treats the early-universe cosmological event as if it were an old man's distant youth, turning a physics fact into an "old timer" age insult. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the old man's face, now wistful, as he adds, "We lost a lotta good plasma back then."
