will mankind end earth before aliens or nature do?

[lamba]

Do you see old trees (20-30+ years old) in photographs before 1840?

How about 4000 year old trees? Resets do happen but it was more like 10,000 years ago.

1/20... Do a fucking better job...

Does the 1/20 represent the the number of people who fell for it vs their reaction?

You made my day and proved my last point in my reply. Amazing : )

Too funny, the problem with getting on a high horse is its further to fall

 

[Jaike]

Make a topic like this every day. In a year their weight will crush mankind and a world order like in Missy will arise...

You must be registered to see the links

tho. There was taking the bait and that typo of writing 9 instead of 8, but that's a bit weak for a fall when his substantial argument is right.

True but I don't think that Orwell user was serious about that tho. Smelled like trolling to me.

Only sheeps believe that. All those "old" stuff, as fossils, were placed by the Compagny. Don't wonder if one day archeologists find a dinosaurus holding a placard "End the Nuclear Tests!".

Sure...
I think I need my hat.

 

[fyl3toys]

250 year reset? Are we talking about the shot heard around the world? Because America and stuff?

 

[MissCougar]

We'll probably blow ourselves into the stoneage again. Can't even be sure if we haven't already done that once already anyhow!

The problem with aliens is just how tremendously, unthinkably huge space is. If you were to take a ratio of us even existing here is like a 0% change. Just looking out at the stars at night you could be seeing light from stars that died forever ago but the light itself hasn't caught up with its death to us yet.

 

[anne O'nymous]

[...] that typo of writing 8 instead of 9 [...]

Was it really a typo?


This being said, you made one, inverting the 8 and 9

 

[Jigglypuff Dragonslayer]

It doesn't end. It only stops spinning. Jerkin it makes the world go round.

If we switch hands, does the earth start to rotate the other way?

 

[fyl3toys]

Dont do that. Dont ever do that!! Nothing good can come from that!!!

 

[MissCougar]

I have some options in all this for end times:

1. When the aliens arrive, sign up for the anal probes right away to get it over with before they get too wild with it
   1. Join an alien harem and see the stars
2. When the end times arrive and aliens didn't show up
   1. Die in a unique position so my death has some sort of story to it, like in a bathtub holding a beer with a pool stick between my legs or something
   2. Survive and open become a farmer who doesn't know what's over the next hill, and just farm the same 6 near-dead corn stalks for eternity
   3. Join a gang harem and live life with plenty of cigarettes

Here we are trying to survive the end of the world and all you can think about is taking a bath?!!!

It's was a joke quoted from a Terry Pratchett book.

The space is fcking hudge and the speed limit is fcking low. Yes.

Another problem is that "intelligent" lifeform seems fcking unlickely. Our planet not only have great quantity of water per pur luck (ice asteroids impact), but is protected by a giant planet from most of lethal asteroid impacts after our solar system orbits were setted. But not before Earth received "good" asteroids impact (iron, water...), and a planetoid impact creating the moon.

We have a big moon helping our core to keep warm and rotate generating a protective "force field" and we are on the hood of our galaxy where sterilizing events like "close" super-nova are less probable. Allowing tectonic (not only the dance) allwing landmass, land lifeform, fire mastering (better food for brain, tools , environmental hazard and hostil life form protection...).

The earth axis is tilted creating seasons who has a benefical impact on water and carbon cycle. The earth still rotate on her axes, making day/night shift which avoid burned side and frozen side syndrom limiting lifeform only on "dusk" zone.

It lasted long enough to allow lifeform to appears and evolve but all good things have an end.
In around 4 billions earth earth rotation will stop. In around 5 billions our sun will enter in his terminal phase. But we don't have to worry about that as in 1 billion years the sun intentisty will be enough to burn earth surface.

Our lifeform is doomed is a "short" time, if it cannot find a way to colonize space.

Of course, all these geek speech is pure conjoncture, but nobody here will live long enough to prove me wrong .

Man these scenarios are boring as hell... nuclear war, random extinction because the planet says "fuck you!" or us being screwed due to consuming the planet. I mean they can happen, but still.

I kinda wish we had a Monster Hunter situation where dragons just suddenly appear and we, being the smarty pants we are, fucking try to use them as weapon and then we get our asses kicked back into the stone age. At least that would be fun to see... you know, before the horrible mass extinction.

I'm telling you, I'll die happily if I get to see a real Kaiju fight.

The real question is... will the world get Bloodborne 2 before the end, or Megaman Legends 3?

There were so many dragons and griffons all over the world... but education does wonders, I guess.
Big architects all over the world: "I want to ornament my buildings with only creatures of mythology/fiction...

 

[anne O'nymous]

Education actually does wonders, yes. It permit to understand, through Alexander The Great's journey, among other sources, that most of those creatures come from the discovery of unexplained skeletons of dinosaurs, passed by the prism of human bias and fears.

Something that will never change.
