There was a thread in Old GBS about the feet thing, and my favorite response was 'What if they test them and they all come back as the same person?'

Its not like people have a finite amount of sympathy though.

Sebastian Vettel posted:Articles like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_far_future unnerve me a lot more than stuff about serial killers and the like. Just reading about all these events that are due to happen millions of years into the future that will render everything done by every person everywhere irrelevant isn't pleasant to think about. I dunno, I like to think that if we're still around for half of this poo poo we'll have outgrown the need to live on Earth. Maybe that's just wishful thinking though. Parts like this make me really sad though  Wiki posted:2 million[Years] Estimated time required for coral reef ecosystems to physically rebuild and biologically recover from current human-caused ocean acidification.

Maybe, I mean honestly we've only been studying subatomic stuff for a couple short decades and we've barely touched the surface on what things really are like in the deepest chasms of the quantum world. Maybe the universe does decay into wavelengths and noise but maybe it doesn't. Maybe its not really a closed system like we think, maybe there's some hereto unobserved quirk of subatomic magic that causes the universe to go all Big Bang every couple sextillion years, hell, maybe entropy doesn't really work like we think it does. Humanity has been poking holes at the universe for millennia and we've been dead wrong 99% of the time, who's to say we're right about this? And even if we are mostly right, its not beyond imagination that we find a way, in the countless eons between then and now, to 'fix' it.

Wait if his friends could reach him to give him crackers and set up lights, how did he die of starvation and exposure? Did no one think to ask his friends to drop in a Twinkie or something?

Solice Kirsk posted:I'm assuming they make nuclear warheads in such a way that it would be damned near impossible to set one off by accident. Like, you cant walk up and hit one with a hammer Bugs Bunny style to set it off....right? Right, by and large a nuclear bomb needs a precise series of detonations going off just so for everything to go a bit mushroomy. Not saying its impossible for that to happen accidentally, but these things have been in bombers as they crashed and didn't go off.
