the universe's slowest flex, where having nowhere to be is the whole point

means To walk in a relaxed, unhurried way, for pleasure rather than to get anywhere.

from Stroll surfaced in 17th-century English, likely borrowed from a German or Swiss-German word like 'strollen' or 'strolchen,' meaning to roam or wander — tied to 'Strolch,' a vagabond or vagrant. So the word began with a faint whiff of the drifter and the tramp, the person ambling through town with no fixed errand, before it softened into the leisurely amble we now romanticize.
