Do you think of Enrico Fermi or The Twilight Zone?
I think of an old Arby’s commercial based on The Twilight Zone
WHERE IS EVERYBODY! WHERE’D EVERYBODY GOOOOOO??
Eh, they all went to Arby’s for the Roast Beef Special
Link to youtube video of Arby’s commercial
Neither.
Snerk, worth the click.
Pleb!
Just kidding of course, what does it make you think of?
Actually–nothing. I guess I never thought about it.
I think of Bette Midler in The Rose
I’ve never heard it. I left with everyone else before anyone said it.
I’m reminded how much my parties suck.
Enrico Fermi. In fact, by shear coincidence I’m reading Stephen Webb’s If the Universe Is Teeming with Aliens… Where is Everybody? Seventy-Five Solutions to the Fermi Paradox and Problem of Extraterrestrial Life.
The SF novel Existence by David Brin also deals with this in a very interesting way.
I second this. It doesn’t make me think of anything in particular.
Thirded. It’s too generic of a statement and the two examples you gave of its use are fairly obscure.
Fermi. Maybe I watch too much Kurzgesagt
