Everything’s on fire and humanity ends? I’m just curious about anyone’s thoughts in general 😀

Yet 50,000 years later here we are. The only upside is that if things get bad enough, the survivors won't be able to achieve our excesses again because we've already exhausted all the irreplaceable easily accessible deposits of fossil fuels and minerals. permalink fedilink source parent
