I mean, every existent species is the result of millions of generations. We all fill our niches, until we don’t. So even the humble tortoise is just as remarkable as us in that way, but I bet they will outlast us given how long they’ve existed.

The thing that always stuck with me about evolution is that we are related to everything. The pup I’m sitting next to is pretty close to me in terms of evolutionary time, the potatoes I ate are a lot more distant, but it is still my cousin, etc. It really makes me feel like I’m part of the world knowing that.

True enough. But given that we are going to drive ourselves to extinction in a geological blink of an eye, it really didn’t do us that great. Should have evolved into a crab.

I thought it was our ability to just run and run and run that broke evolution.

It got wrecked. Because of that fact, many people are calling for the Great Lakes to be nuked.

Isn’t this woman some sort of religious fundamentalist?

I’m thinking about sending this to the extrovert that adopted me in college.

I was going to say that the traditional way to leave the Russian army is to charge a Ukrainian machine gun nest and get mowed down with a hundred friends.

The density of uranium always fucks with me. How can something that takes up so little volume weigh so much?

The funny this is that I was a nuke person for a long time, until the facts changed. Nukes were really great fifteen years ago. But solar and wind have surpassed them in terms of cost so my opinion changed. Good shit.

I’m curious how you think adding nukes have an advantage here. You understand that nukes are not easily shut down? If we have a problem with an over abundance of energy, adding nukes to the grid only makes that problem worse.

We already have 30% nukes. Right now we need more solar and wind. I’m not saying shut down nukes. They are good. They are just a waste of money and time to build new when we have cheaper and easier to produce alternatives.
