Hands, or as the Flopfluvian Blobberbeasts of Vortis Minor call them, 'Squiddly Diddly Dappers', are a bizarre evolutionary experiment in giving creatures prehensile multi-fingered appendages at the ends of their limbs. Mainly found attached to the ends of human arms, hands are incredibly useful for activities like waving awkwardly at someone who isn't actually waving at you, or for crafting a mean cheese sandwich. They come in pairs, supposedly to allow for multitasking, though in reality, it often leads to a human figuring out how to do twice as many foolish things at the same time.
If you plan on hitchhiking across the galaxy, hands are of utmost importance. Efficiency may vary, however, depending on the number of opposable thumbs.
Hands can generally be found at the ends of human arms unless they've been misplaced during teleportation, which happens more often than you'd think on budget starliners.
It's crucial to avoid getting your hands caught in the intricate workings of a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster mixing device. The results tend to be both messy and embarrassing.
The Finglonger, a mythical device rumored to exist on a distant planet, is said to extend the reach of a hand by up to three feet, making the fetching of remote controls a thing of elegance and leisure.

Next.js, not to be confused with Next J's, the popular intergalactic jazz fusion cafe, is a reactionary framework that allows beings from all corners of the cosmos to craft websites with the speed of a Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal after a particularly annoying tourist. It's known for server-side rendering, which, despite sounding like a culinary technique employed by bored chefs at Milliways, is actually quite a nifty trick for making web pages appear with the alacrity of a startled Gazorpazorp.

Port - not to be confused with the nautical term, nor the left-hand side of any given intergalactic star cruiser - is in fact a delightful, rich, often vintage, fortified liquid, typically discovered at the bottom of a glass. It is basically a grape-based spaceship fuel for humans, propelling conversations into the vast expanse of social space, occasionally crashing into awkward silences or black holes of over-indulgence.
