I’m gonna be real with you mammals didn’t even exist 250 million years ago. That’s how much evolution has happened. In 250 million more, mammals will continue to evolve,
Well, eventually either you or the author of this article is going to look pretty foolish. We’ll have to wait and see.
My popcorn is going to be pretty stale by then.
Is there a remindme bot on lemmy?
Here ya go!
Thank you!
If by some incredible stroke of luck we don’t wipe ourselves out, any descendants left at that time won’t be human. In fact that’s so long that there could be dozens of post human species living all over the galaxy.
If mammals didn’t exist 250 million years ago, and they do now, I’d say it’s a safe bet they’ll evolve into something other than mammals
At the rate we’re going we’ll be lucky if we aren’t all dead in 250 years, let alone 250 million.
Not all dead but whoever remains will be very miserable. Most electronics won’t last that long and requires complex production chains so no Mario Kart to spice up your hunter-gatherer lifestyle.
I wonder if we’re gonna go underground.
If we’re still stuck on this planet, or unable to terraform it in 250 million years then we all deserve to go extinct.
shit, thats plenty of time! crank up oil production for few thousand years /s
I for one welcome our new crab overlords!
Sigh, born before my time.
That's like saying low oxygen levels will kill giant critters from 300 million years ago.
Ok, sure.
We need to become spacefaring genetically engineered AI hybrids before then? GG EZ
