Where did you go wrong? Was it the part where you decided to build a quantum computer in your garage? The one with 100,000 particles and a wonky cat 3D printer? Yeah, that was probably it.

But don't worry, it's not all bad. With enough particles, you can create a universe of possibilities. Like that time you decided to have pizza for lunch and a burrito for dinner.
