The wind of a supernova flowing over you would be the end of you and everything around you.

Even the neutrinos from a supernova would be enough. https://what-if.xkcd.com/73/

Ah, the excuse I’ve been looking for.

“Can’t come into work today, was hit by a neutrino this morning. Need to rest up.”

An even better one is proton decay.

Proton decay is theoretically possible but has never been observed. and perhaps somewhere in the vast universe one might have done so... maybe.

So I like to blame it on many of life's unexpected events.

"there are about a trillion neutrinos from the Sun passing through it every second."

It depends on your physical form and how close you got. With forms like ours yes that’s the point he’s making. In context it makes sense he’s pissed off.

That's exactly the point, isn't it?

The wind you feel today probably has a meaningful supernova component.
