Heck, even our own Laniakea Supercluster (of which the Milky Way is only one of 100,000 other galaxies included in it) is probably only one of 10 millions in the universe.

damn. If our Milky Way were a grain of sand, how big would the universe be? This map broke my mind a little & if every galaxy were a grain of sand, how large a cube would it fill?

And that’s not even getting into all the other universes.

Well we don't know shit about other universes they might not even have galaxies if they exist. But there are around 10 million superclusters in our observable universe... the actual extent of the universe is most likely infinite

All we are is dust in the existential plane.
