The world is out of ....it's axis?

There is nothing wrong with the physical world.I assume this saying refers to human to human interactions;Therefore,I'd say,''It is dogs eat dog world.
Still better: World is an uncertain place,eat your desert first.

Bu makalenin başındaki "Has the world gone nuts?" ve en sonundaki "What is wrong with this picture? Everything." cümleleri cevabımda ısrarcı olmama sebep oldu.
