hydroptic,

Or you shedding some of your microbiome’s bacteria and fungi into the environment and whoops: they outcompeted something “local” and now whole species change.

I honestly don’t think there’d be any way to avoid doing something that could possibly change the future in a dramatic way, because that far back incredibly minute changes could possibly lead to huge differences (because chaos theory), to the level of “a butterfly didn’t flap its wings because I accidentally squashed it with my time machine, and now humanity never happened. Oops.” But any change that means you didn’t ever go on your trip means you have some sort of paradox on your hands, and then it becomes a question of how timelines work

hydroptic, (edited )

Oh yeah, like an observation platform. That’s probably the only way you’d be doing time travel anyhow since it’s also space travel because the Earth now isn’t where the Earth was 200 million years ago; doing an atmospheric re-entry across time when you’re not 100% sure where exactly everything will be sounds like an occupational health hazard and inadvisable at best. Gods fucking help you if anything goes wrong and you violently scatter pieces of your fancy time machine across a few square km of densely populated (by animals including genus Homo) area.

Dinosaurs didn’t all get wiped out though! Birbs are theropod dinosaurs, and the only known extant dinosaurs

hydroptic,

I have absolutely no idea what a “chutes day” is 😅 but I’m a dirty foreigner with a native language that’s not even in the same family as English, please have mercy

hydroptic,

Oh don’t you worry, we’ll probably get a nuclear war within the next few decades, it just won’t be caused by an evil AI

hydroptic,

The biggest threat from AI isn’t it going all Skynet on us, but how rich people will use it to the detriment of the rest of us.

hydroptic,

Usul has called a small one! Again, it is not the legend

hydroptic,

Heeeeere wormy wormy, nice wormy. I have some spice for you

Not Safe for Worms?

hydroptic,

The power of WORM compels you

hydroptic,

Hey I said wrong answers only

hydroptic,

I think “cute” is a default setting for fox kits

hydroptic,

For those wondering, the riot police still attacked them in the end.

Huge surprise there. Pigs fucking hate nonviolent protesters; here in Finland a bunch of Extinction Rebellion folks got tear gassed and beaten by cops just for funsies

hydroptic,

Yeah, the problem with stolen source code is that you can’t really use it for much except maybe developing modding tools, and even then you can’t say out loud that you used the source and didn’t reverse engineer shit

hydroptic,

A lot of it won’t happen on its own though. While direct deaths from climate-related things (floods, fires, wet bulb events, whatever) will happen, you can bet your ass that there’ll be a lot of murderizing too.

hydroptic,

Oh yes, the default setting for a disconcerting percentage of humans is to get violent when things get rough.
