Why are there an extra set of queens?

If you get a pawn to the opposite end of the board, it turns into a queen.

Illusion of choice. Must translation with limited options. Still can't leave the matrix

I am probably missing something, but en passant seems to have to do with a pawn capturing another pawn. I still didn't see how the extra set of queens comes into play.

No it's an old meme from r/anarchychess lol. you are meant to reply 'holy hell'. The queens are for promotions.

Wait, you can have more than one queen at a time?
