i hate every last thing about what people in this world have become. i would like to ask for an asteroid the size of the one that killed the dinosaurs to strike the earth at the same velocity and at the same angle as that one. immediately. our species is an enormous failure.

Of everything going on at the moment, like senseless wars, countries plagued by mass child abuse or forced organ harvesting, you chose to question the humanity's worth because of a smol pp joke?

no, but i did choose to comment because of that.

i have a rule: you can neither critique nor praise someone about something that they can't change themselves in 30 seconds.

reading other things today (and all days) just means that the comment which breaks the camel's back, so to speak, for that day can take just about any form. today it was this joke. on all days it is someone making fun of someone else for something they can't change or didn't choose to begin with.

humans love picking on other people for things that can't be chosen and weren't chosen. it's like the favorite pastime of the internet citizen. height, race, gender, whatever. if they can't change it in 30 seconds, shut the fuck up about it, and if you can't shut the fuck up about it, it makes you a bad person.

there are a LOT of bad people in the world. myself included I'm sure. humans are garbage, myself included. we make almost no attempt to make the world better, myself included. it is an inherent trait that we could change about ourselves in 30 seconds but almost no one does. therefore we deserve to die as a species. we are useless. we are choosing not to be better, every day. we choose to be assholes to each other, every hour of every day of every year.

we deserve extinction. we have more than earned it. comments like the one i replied to simply push me past the point where i decide to point it out and comment about it.

All these problems that make you think we deserve extinction, they can't really be fixed in 30 seconds I suppose ? If so, why do you critique everyone so hard that you wish them dead?

I don't wish any individuals dead, i have no ill will towards anyone in particular, but individuals do demonstrate the traits of our species that i despise, so i always bring this up in response to individuals. If you can show me where i can respond to the species as a whole, please do, and i'll direct myself there.

I wish for our entire species to go extinct, not individual people. Why? we are just inherently destructive to each other. we are super flawed in that way, and I don't see us lasting the amount of time it would take for that to evolve out of us. I do see our awful instincts lasting long enough for some future world war three to reduce the population to a small enough amount where being assholes to each other again becomes a survival tactic that works, so this likely won't ever evolve out of us naturally.

Also, in order for it to evolve out of us, we would have to select it out and not allow those who are regularly assholes to each other to breed, and that won't work for a number of reasons. I'm not for society selectively neutering people for any reason, anyway. We are competitive to a point that it is well past anything that the word "flaw" could cover. we are self-destructive, and we let tiny disagreements get us to the point of war.

we are just a garbage species. deep down we all know it, i just happen to mention it for some reason.

Mate this wasn't new even in Old Testament.

I never said it was new. I said it was a flaw of our species and that we deserve extinction because of it. And we do.

"Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends." - Gandalf.

You have made up some arbitrary rules, and adjudicated humanity to extinction.

You certainly can do better.

Re:I made my VM think it has a CPU fan by naikrovek on Monday June 30, 2025 @07:17AM (#44421866)
humanity does deserve extinction. people are cancer. we all know it and we all keep our inner circle small because of it.

we actively make the lives of others worse so that we feel better about ourselves. we make fun of each other, we steal from each other, we lie to each other in order to better ourselves, we kill each other all the damn time for extremely small and insignificant reasons.

people on the internet are assholes because that's who they really are on the inside. they are sufficiently hidden by anonymity that there is no punishment for doing so.

the entire species is just broken in fundamental ways. the defects i'm refering to are simply congenital defects of the species, and probably of all mammals.

but it doesn't matter, none of it.

I am pretty damned sure that we are going to wipe ourselves out in the next 1,000 years. I think i'll get my wish, and if I do, we won't be polluting any planet with our presence except this one.
