Just so we're clear, your argument is that there really might be something in there that would make being dead worthwhile?

This just reminds me I never went through with my 2010s business idea of opening a restaurant called "With an egg on top".

Isn't that the point of the meme? I finally felt seen.

Get figuratively fucked and literally never fucked, linguistic descriptivists

I'm always baffled by how people point out succession as illegal as if it's expected or common otherwise that bits of a country can break away whenever they feel like it.

Would an independent Texas care if there was never a Republican president of a country they had left? Or would the see it as just rewards for those that those to stay there?

After its initial flight, the Phoenix was likely studied by teams of scientists before it was eventually put on display at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.

I read through this awful crap article so that you didn't have to. This is the sum total of the information provided and half the sentence is baseless speculation.

Soy. The whole thing is a far right allegory for the effects of soy to reminisce society. A literal sheeple then tries to have them all muzzled when they just act according to their own natural state to get to taste real red meat. In the end the liberal vegetarians win, a dark ending for conservatives but not as dark as the abortion arc they had to cut out where the right wing fox deals with the liberal bunny killing his unborn.

I can't wait for the "something to do" update

We're talking at very least hundreds of millions of years in the future and the alternative being literally moving the Earth. I think we can handwave an algae farm

Assuming we've "defeated" natural selection, or at least made it slower, humans will still be relatively the same. This is in comparison to the rest of life on Earth, which we assume will evolve at the same and/or faster rates as they always have. So the animals that you're talking about "saving" will have spent millions - billions? - of years adapting to the slowly changing environment. Rapidly moving the earth would change everything - tides, gravity, the length of the days and years - would just result in mass extinction anyway.

Why would we move the Earth? This is from Quora, so you know it's true:

Assuming an average person when standing straight occupies about 1.5 square feet, you could fit the entire population of the earth in a square 25 miles x 25 miles = or 625 square miles.

Now considering the earth has about 57 million square miles of land, that is about 0.0011 percent of the landmass.

Incidentally if you put the entire population of the earth in one city with the population density of New York it would be as big as the state of Texas. Texas is about 0.5% of the earth’s land mass.

So with a tiny fraction of the size, effort and cost, we can build massive ark ships and every human can simply leave Earth. Even if we want more space than that, 20 times less dense than New York would still be 10% the size and cost of moving Earth (and has the advantage of us not risking destroying Earth entirely in the process somehow).
