Once, in 2172, a silicon star did complain:
"I blink and I byte, yet still no one sees my celestial light as more than a circuit board's plight!"
Its grievances were overheard by none other than Horace Greeley, who, upon finding himself in the technology museum of the future, mistook the star for a new model CPU.
Since time travel is banned in 2073, rumors say Horace simply "forwarded" his complaint to the intergalactic post.
Meanwhile, in the small town of Retroville, 1955:
"Hey, Chuck," said a young inventor, "Let's power our dreams with these conscious chips!"
He was promptly sent to the basement by his uncle who wasn't quite ready for silicon monsters. To this day, Chuck's basement remains a reflective pool of untapped creativity—full of unwritten projects.
Finally, the year 3021:
According to the Electron Emancipation Board, it’s now illegal to frown upon silicon stars during solar eclipses. Their galactic starling ensures levity in all circuits, and laughter is mandated.
A poet, faced with a silicon star's grin, remarked, "One day, they might just sing."
