100 years.... Sure sure.... This is yet another one of those doomsday prophecies like Y2K, 2012, etc.

Just add it to the list:
A Brief History of the Apocalypse

^ and it's a very long list.

Humans won't go extinct any time soon. When the crap looks like it's hitting the fan, people will head into their bomb shelters or hide out in the forests and caves to wait it out while everybody kills themselves off fighting wars over jarred pickles and processed hot dogs.

Worst case scenario and his predictions are accurate?

Nuke a couple of third world nations and drop the population down a chunk or two, problem solved.

Target the ones where people keep living in deserts and places they can't grow crap in, who keep begging for donations and food supplies from charities and governments because they're too damn lazy to learn how to grow their own food, or dig their own wells (or move) while their kids get money from middle class families halfway around the world to go to school, learn their ABC's in clean looking clothes, only to graduate and end up like their parents who keep begging for donations and handouts because they're too lazy and ignorant to do anything for themselves.

Nuke em Ricco, solve the world's problems, stop the vicious cycle and save humanity in the process.

Yeah I know, me being weed free for three years has turned me into such a loving bowel of sunshine and cupcakes...... I love you all.

Well they say that once it goes on the internet it's there forever. So you kind of sort of just did.

I thought it had to be on Facebook to be real? or is it any social media now?

Too pessimistic I would say.

The science is pretty firm on the cause but the scope of damage is still up in the air.

Nobody said it had to be real. Just that it will be there forever.

I think when it comes to the internet, real is a subjective term. ;)


I'm dumb (stupid) when it comes to the Internet, but like any organization is there not one head honcho in charge? Does it not need cleaning up once in awhile or does Little Johnny's episode of playing hookey from school just stay on there ad infinitum? Isn't there eventually going to be such a clutter it may be impossible to find anything? (Actually it's that way now as is obvious when you try to Google something)

Humans will be extinct in 100 years says eminent scientist



(PhysOrg.com) -- Eminent Australian scientist Professor Frank Fenner, who helped to wipe out smallpox, predicts humans will probably be extinct within 100 years, because of overpopulation, environmental destruction and climate change.


I'm sure by that time we will have morphed into some other similar creature!

I found my daughters gr.8 report card on line (she'd been on the honour roll at her school) a month or so ago. She was in gr 8 nearly 10 years ago!

There's an example of the good side of it. Someone else's daughter may have been caught hooking during lunch break. -:)

Humans will become extinct shortly after machines become self aware.

OH MY STARS!!! Don't say that.


I know I'll have empathy for intelligent machines. I couldn't handle how they treated the robot in AI.
