Is the Big Bad Vlad gonna do it?

 

[butters]

it's possible he'll try but i have faith others less insanely driven by sickness and avarice would prevent it from happening. could i be wrong? yes.

Would it matter if he did? Earth will be fine without us.

but why should so many species of flora and fauna suffer, even get wiped out alongside us, in the process of eradicating mankind? (mankind, now there's a misnomer if ever there was one...)

In the end

but why should so many species of flora and fauna suffer, even get wiped out alongside us, in the process of eradicating mankind? (mankind, now there's a misnomer if ever there was one...)

Collateral damage and Putin has been allowed to get to this point. I’m all for stopping him before he gets the chance to do anything devastating, but being proactive isn’t in the ‘answer binder’. We could ask Twitter for an answer, they seem to know everything.

Hate to be a Debbie Downer but there have been at least five major extinction events on this planet. 99.9% of all animals that have ever existed are now extinct. One good burp from Yellowstone or misguided comet and we're all dead. Have a nice day!


Fun fact: Sharks have survived all major extinction events, are 90 million years older than trees, and predate dinosaurs by 190 million years.

Yep, very true.

Your shark fact is off a bit, Modern Sharks evolved during the Jurasic period, but they have ancestors dating back to the Devonian period (gilled fish with cartilage skeletons) . Coelacanths however are from the Devonian period (410 million years), and they are still swimming in the oceans today,pretty much as they did a very very very very very long time ago.

naturally occurring major extinction events, not events caused by the hubris of humans...

To be fair, humans could have existed 4 billion years ago, and nuked ourselves out of existence way back then, but there is zero way to ever prove this, since the earths geology has recycled so much since. The best we can do is examine the few rocks from that age, and get an idea of the minerals in existence then.

Fun fact,I have walked on some 4 billion year old rock, on the coast of Hudson's Bay. They look like rocks....nothing special....

Only they are so tiny now.

Earth would be a mess after that. But I've handled the possibility that's been there most of my life by reasoning that as long as I won't be left to deal with the result, it's OK. I'd want it to land directly on my head, though.

Best advice I was given in the sixties was in the event of atomic war bend over,put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.

Selfishness is the core of every person. Love thy neighbor does look good on a Hallmark card doesn’t it?

Put a request in to Putin. If you’re not important enough for him to redirect a nuke and change his strategy to spare you the discomfort of a nuclear winter, you could always volunteer to join his cause. It’s almost a guarantee you won’t be left to deal with anything ever again.

What the fuck are you yammering about?

 

[Biggs_Darklighter]

Why worry about it? Either happens or it doesn't and there's nothing you can do about it. Maybe knock out a quick slice from the hot neighbor before they hit but thats probably all. Depends how much she fights tho. Ya ain't got all day.
