The end of humankind

[WhistlingBadger]

I'll eat when I'm hungry and drink when I'm dry,
and if hard times don't kill me, I'll live 'til I die.

It is the age of octopi, soon we will be living in their glass boxes.

Ringo wanted to be a minion of the new octopus overlords.

But worse than that is what will come before . I am absolutely sure in my mind that crazy politicians are going to use their nuclear bombs in a big way very soon . That will take care of the overpopulation problem . Nobody believes the politicians are capable of it but they are .

Nuclear winter will fix global warming too, thus allowing the ice caps to grow back and then the human survivors (made up of politicians and armed forces) will come out of their bunkers and repopulate the world. I'm not sure I would want to be alive in a world occupied by politicians and army. Just imagine the suffering you would endure being stuck in a bunker for years with nobody but politicians.

Who said that any politician would make it out the bunker in the first place...

I know exactly what would happen if they wouldn't shut-up. If you put them together in a tight place...

There's big chances that common sense would resolve the problem from within. And many Military Personnel are not really into oppressing their own civilians. That would make a lots of veteran really mad.

But it also been proven that men can be lead to do the worse atrocities in the name of ideology.

It's commonly thought that the apocalypse will last 7 years and when God breaks the seal, the four horsemen will ride the earth...

That for me exclude the short and painless death of a global nuclear conflict... Conquest, War, Famine, and Death...

Tribulations are going to be an interesting part of history for sure.

It's not as common as you might think. It's actually the Frost Giants and friends who will face the warriors of Valhalla and defeat them, and that will end the pageant. That is, if the gods don't eat the sun, which will be a real problem for us. It really annoys some people that beauty will go on after they're gone from it.

I imagine a bunker full of military men and politicians would kill each other trying to see who was the top of the hierarchy before they ever emerged into the wreckage they created. In such a scenario, it would probably be the support workers (you know the important ones would need servants) who mopped up the blood who would start human society again.

That'd be hopeful.

If they're aquarists, it'll be even better. Maybe the ability to breed fish will be the measure of power in a future world...

More likely, we fizzle out due to environmental catastrophes we can't adapt to. We'll deny it's happening, and it'll happen. But it's not in the cards for a long time, and we have things to do in the here and now.

You have a singular knack for imagining the worst possible scenarios .

What can I say, but I'm a glass is 99% empty (even when it's 3/4 full) type of guy

With my luck, I'll end up stuck in a bunker with an assortment of K-pop singers, militant animal rights activists, and the entire cast of The Wiggles.

In the end there will be nothing left as the sun explodes - didn't we have this discussion not so long ago - anyway we can all look forward to a toasty future to be follow by near absolute cold.

What really happens is the faeries and garden gnomes rise up, and we are all reincarnated as jarred Bettas on tables as wedding decorations.

Fine by me as long as the faerie taking me home feeds fruit flies .

You guys may be toast but I’ll be on a Mars colony with 8 tanks full of Martian fish.

The last time I saw a guy bright enough to make a rocket... He was also crazy enough to be in it when it launched.



I would really want to know his last thoughts....
