If you’ve ever read the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy then you’d already know these bastards are just gonna peace out when things get real. So long and thanks for all the fish they’ll say as they abandon us to our untimely demise.
They did warn humanity, but they talked to the only sane human on the planet who couldn’t convince anyone else.
What else are they supposed to do?
Dolphins are smart enough to know that “taking over” just means responsibility and stress.
Wait your turn sea dog. There are at least 5 different flavors of doritos we haven’t discovered yet.
They could’ve stopped at Purple and my life would be fulfilled enough.
So I’m sure how we conceive of being the dominant species is biased. But if we talk about civilizations and their ability to eventually propagate beyond earth, I don’t think dolphins have it. Their ancestry tried out land and said “nah, back to the water”. Not to mention anything we do that takes humans out of the equation entirely is going to probably kill off the dolphins, apes, elephants, basically most of the mammalians. It’ll be so long before something evolves to take our place as “earthlings” all our works will be fossils at best
On this note; given that it’s suspected that Earth has only a good ~800 million years or so left, that may not even be enough time for another sentient species to emerge with enough time to become technologically sufficient enough to … avert extinction – much less undo some of the damage that we have done. We have to grapple with the idea that if we fail as a species, we’ll be the only and last sentient species on Earth to have emerged. Or as I like to call it: Get filtered, nerd.
So long, and thanks for all fish
rape, rape everywhere
Nah it won’t be dolphins, they don’t have appendages that can do fine manipulations
The dolphins and octopods will go to war over who inherits the earth
squirrels will be next
think about it: apes were successful because they had hands (for climbing trees). Guess who else is climbing trees and has tiny little hands? squirrels.
Nah, raccoons or another ape is my guess. Raccoon hands are freakishly human.
I have 2 raccoons and their greed will be their downfall. They’re so adorable but I can’t give them loving without them giving me a pat down and checking my pockets for any goodies. Once they’re done mugging me THEN they’re all kisses and hugs hahaha
Sounds like my nephew 😂
