      Programmers dealing with the timezones of asymmetric period binary and trinary star systems once we go interstellar 💀

        Don’t worry, we’ll be extinct soon, hopefully. Maybe even before int32_t runs out. Unfortunately not soon enough to stop the humans impact on earth before the worst damage is done.

          I’ll let you in on a secret.

          Humanity and the animals that we like will get through just fine.

          Humans in general and the vast majority of biodiversity will be fucked if it ever happens.

          I firmly believe it won’t. Too many good people in the world doing far more than the shitty ones.
