Let me first start with this:
It is possible to show that the universe does not exist, because relative to the sheer size size of it, the actual physical matter does not take up a significant amount of space to make it to the end of the calculation do to significant figures. It’s not a good proof, but it’s a fun one. The minute amount of matter in the universe is significant to us.

I once had a pissed off cobra follow me around a bus, quickly, and then pace back and forth against the closed doors. I have no idea what I did, I didn’t use the rest stop to relieve myself. I did look at the giant freakish ants with wicked stings.
The bus moves on, and I think I am safe. Down the road some, no more than a third of a mile, but more likely a tenth of a mile, the damn thing comes swerving up the dirt road and towards the little village restaurant/shop/abode. Lucky for me it had doors. My love at the time thought it was funny. “What did you do? It looks pissed. Mabey it found it’s true love and I should let it in.” Then I have to run for the bus and hope it doesn’t smell or see me.
That particular sample was particularly important to me, and may have colored future and past experiences.
Other cobras I have seen in person, some up close, were also ill tempered. Like velvet ants, some organisms, are just highstrug or permanently pissed off- from our perspective. Then again, wouldn’t you be around humans.
Perhaps I give off some sort of gas or pheromone that ticks cobras off.
