        That’s not really how these things work. It’s not going to be like someone eats the very last edible thing one day and then a week later all of humanity is dead.

            Well that’s even less likely to cause our extinction, by definition.

            I think people often conflate “the collapse of the comfortable familiar civilization I’m currently part of” with “the literal extinction of the human species, full stop, the end.” The two situations are not remotely comparable.

              Interesting take, considering the collapse of civilization itself on a global scale would also include said species’ recall of the term “extinction”, much less the adjacent topics, technology, et al.

              Your contrarian rebuttal hinges on the barest of linguistic technicalities, whereas my point (which began as a lowbrow joke, let’s not forget) implies the worldwide annihilation of collective humanity itself… but that’s “correct” enough for you?

              You’re leaning on an “um, akshually”? Really? 🤦🏼‍♂️ FFS.

              Are you running as a Democrat or something? 🤔
