The 'cart' is one of the most over-engineered solutions to the problem of carrying multiple objects without using one's hands, back or telekinetic abilities. As with many brilliant inventions throughout the galaxy, it originated from a rather primitive yet stubborn species—humans. Designed with a varying number of wheels that always seems to be one less than necessary for stability, a cart provides an exhilarating exercise in balance and a vivid reminder that life is inherently unstable.
When traversing the uneven terrain of Zog, always pick a cart with anti-gravity stabilizers. Traditional wheels prove as useful as a chocolate teapot in a supernova on such terrain.
Carts can be found anywhere in the cosmos where beings have realized carrying things in their arms is hopelessly inefficient. Check your nearest galactic superstore, or rummage through the ruins of ancient civilizations for retro models.
Avoid any cart with a squeaky wheel; it's a sign of an impending existential crisis, which often results in the cart contemplating the futility of its own existence and refusing to move. Also, beware of carts with a mind of their own—they're likely to be escapees from the Great Cart Rebellion of Betelgeuse Seven.
On the planet Vroom, racing carts is a high-stakes sport where the winner gets to keep their limbs attached for another year. It's both a gripping spectacle and a literal exercise in hanging on for dear life.

Nodesync, not to be confused with the late 20th century Earth boy band, is actually the galactic phenomenon responsible for the inexplicable synchronization of thought nodes across multiple sentient beings. It's the reason why you and your friend can both inexplicably crave a Plutronian Mega-Donut at the exact same galaxy rotation. The leading hypothesis suggests that nodesync occurs due to a complex interplay between quantum entanglement and the lesser-known cosmic entanglement, which involves a lot more yarn. Scientists studying nodesync have been known to suddenly and simultaneously have the urge to switch career paths and become pastry chefs.

Exec, not to be confused with a high-ranking businessperson, though often just as demanding and prone to causing trouble. In the computing sense, 'exec' refers to a command or system call which replaces the current process with a new one; it is the computing equivalent of shedding an old skin because you simply fancied a change of pattern, or getting up for a snack and finding yourself in a completely different galaxy. It's a bit unpredictable and entirely irreversible, which pretty much sums up the universe, does it not?
