        Yep, this is what I tell people…the planet will recover just fine…but just after it’s killed pretty much everything off and started over.

      Nah the planet will be just fine. Humans (and other living things) though will truly be fucked.

        Some living things will make it through the extinction event and the next sentient species will fuck it all up again in a billion years or so.

          Assuming they can even get to our level, we already extracted the easily reachable fossil fuels and the circumstances that originally created them (lots of trees dying and not being broken down by fungi) probably won’t ever reoccur.

          Maybe something will turn all the plastic we’re making into a new fossil fuel, but more likely any civilization that comes after us will be stuck in the bronze/iron age.

        Can’t the boomers are still around and they still remember when Jane Fonda was easy on the eyes. Plus you know you got the granola gluten free spiritual not religious types now who are convinced they can generate electricity from unicorn farts.

              I don’t think she shot at anyone, she was photographed sitting on an air defense gun in North Vietnam if that’s what you mean.

              And it’s true about the video profits, it’s all a matter of public record you can look it up if you’re so inclined.
