For me, if I ask for an unpopular opinion and you say something about pineapple on pizza I’m going to assume you have no personality.

      I doubt it. We have a very large fossil record of extinct species. Nothing says we won’t end up as yet another.

        There’s two ways to go extinct - by coming to a sudden stop or by gradually changing over time until you’re no longer recognisable as the same species.

          Well, see, the “sudden stop” is really just sudden at the time scale that Earth operates on. But in all these extinctions, where multiple species got wiped out entirely, at the scale of the species themselves it’s a slow ass grind that takes multiple centuries.
