Black Hole Friday: The Complete Suck-Fest

A humorous spin on Black Friday chaos, comparing it to a black hole’s pull—time warps, price tricks, and a vortex of shopping madness. Don’t get sucked in!

They call it Black Friday, but really, it’s more like Black Hole Friday. Once you get sucked into those “door-buster” deals, good luck escaping without losing your sanity, your money. Or your dignity.

Black Hole Comparison:

Black holes and Black Friday actually have a lot in common, believe it or not. First off, they both love chaos. So, a black hole happens when a huge star crumples under its own weight, forming this super dense spot where nothing—yep, not even light—can get out. Does that ring a bell? That’s basically the Walmart parking lot at 5 a.m., where folks have turned into this one big mess of desperation and coffee-fueled craziness.

You know how people say time kinda drags on when you’re near a black hole? It feels the same way when you’re stuck in line at Target with an air fryer you never knew you wanted, thinking back to every decision that brought you here. Physicists call that “time dilation.” Retailers just call it “customer retention.”

Event Horizon Shopping:

So, there’s this thing called the Event Horizon, right? It’s basically the point of no return. In astrophysics, it’s where you dive into a black hole, and you’re totally done for, just spiraling into nothingness. Now, on Black Friday, the Event Horizon is when you spot a sign that says “70% OFF!” Your logical side is like, “Dude, it’s a trap! You don’t need a Bluetooth banana peeler!” But guess what? The marketing whirlwind has already pulled you in.

Door-buster Deals Vortex:

All right, let’s talk about those so-called “savings.” Just like the whole black hole mystery, we’ll probably never really figure out the real deal with those price cuts. Was that $2,000 TV actually ever priced at $2,000? Or did it just chill at $600 its whole life, then get “marked down” to $499? Retailers bend the truth like they’re messing with spacetime, curving prices into weird shapes that fool us into thinking we’re scoring some amazing deals.

Cosmic Shopping Madness:

But the thing is, falling into a black hole kinda has this cool vibe. You’re helping science out, you’re showing Einstein was onto something, and who knows, you might even get mentioned in a Neil deGrasse Tyson doc. But falling into Black Friday? You’re just helping marketing teams look good. You’re pretty much the lab rat—the poor soul in yoga pants sprinting through the mall for a “deal” on last year’s gaming console.

So, what’s the deal? At least with a real black hole, there’s a shot you could end up in another dimension, and who knows, maybe it’ll be a better one. But with Black Friday, the only other dimension you’re facing is that killer buyer’s remorse and a garage packed with stuff you totally didn’t need.

Escape Black Friday Frenzy:

This year let’s shake off that heavy vibe. Grab a glass of wine, hit up some small businesses online, or just chill with Netflix. Seriously, who says you gotta put your life—or your cash—on the line for an air fryer? Let’s leave the space stuff to astrophysicists and the budgeting to folks who aren’t in need of therapy afterward.

Happy Black Hole Friday, y’all. Don’t get pulled in.

Still next time. Stay informed and Stay Safe.
