The images of a naked Kim Kardashian printed in Paper Magazine earlier this week proved to be a hotter trending topic than the landing of the European Space Agency’s (Esa) satellite on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, and the internet is now wallowing in self-hatred.

Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian showed us all her buttocks on the back cover of Paper Magazine. You can see that image below, too:
At the time of this writing, #WeCanLandOnACometButWeCant is currently the largest trending topic in the United States, while #BreakTheInternet, the hashtag associated with the Kim Kardashian cover, is the second largest trending topic.

Of the discrepancy in the amount of discussion between both of these life-changing events, Twitter user Jake Bryan wrote: “Guys Europeans landed a spacecraft on a comet yesterday and all I’ve seen on social media is about Kim Kardashian posing in some racy photos.”
Rachel Brosnahan was equally baffled, writing: “So while Kim Kardashian was breaking the internet, some crazy brilliant humans landed a space probe on a comet. Casual.”
When the backside of a reality TV star is competing for attention alongside a ground-breaking voyage into space, you know you live in a strange time in the history of the world.
