The trouble with this graphic is that millennials are part of the problem now. The oldest are over forty. We've all seen the footage of Jan 6th. There were very few boomers in their 60 and 70s.

Give me a break. How about the people having kids in:

  • -900,000: Whatever happened to kill off almost all humans
  • -1177: Bronze Age collapse
  • 535: Volcanic winter of 536
  • 1347-1351: Black Death
  • 1914-1918: WWI and Spanish Flu
  • 1929-1939: Great Depression and Dust Bowl
  • 1962: Great Leap Forward
  • 1943-1945: Worst killings and bombings of WWII
  • 2020: For our lifetimes. COVID and 100 other disasters. So bad most have forgotten it started with Australia burning to the ground, 1 billion animals killed.

As to racism, we watched Mississippi Burning last night. My wife isn't from America and was horrified. "Honey, that was happening when our parents were kids."

I don't think you understand why people stop having kids, do you? video

Humans didn't evolve until about 300,000 years ago. Humans didn't exist 900,000 years ago.

If we did, it would make us even dumber, since we already spent about 280k years in the dirt before we considered growing food ourselves in one place.

Kudos to those not having kids. I've had two recently fully knowing it's going to be tough on them, but I'm going to do the responsible thing and teach them self defense and how to disrespect authority.

Plus as a bonus, I'm going to get those additional family members when we're protecting the homestead from raiders.

Im amazed at how much X has had kids. Seems nuts. Then I realize I might have done it if I had went 4 years to college and started working right after and if within a few years made a family raising type of wage. That double major and one year in a PhD may have saved me.

Ironically, if temperature gets to a high degree enough, so much water vapor, methane and carbon dioxide will be on the atmosphere capturing heat (which will eventually escape), but more importantly, reflecting it on the upper atmosphere layers, that we will freeze to death before even feeling the burn LMAO 🤣

Water vapour is quite good at absorbing heat, and it insulates the atmosphere too(it's often warmer at night if its cloudy), would it reflect enough heat for that sort of cooling to happen? Sounds like something that would take a lot longer to happen than the time it will take to get too hot for us to survive without living underground or something.

Imagine that one guy shoveling fuel on the fire "IF IT GETS A LITTLE BIT WORSE THEN WE CAN RISE UP!"

Things have always been bad.
