Star Trek writers batting 1000 so far, please please please let them be wrong about the nuclear horror.

Can't you feel it? The threads of global tension snapping with a deafening blast? The ravenous chantings of Mars cutting through the ambient noise?

Mars, where you go to die of cancer while under the rule of a racist narcissistic libertarian billionaire with a savior complex, and his Nazi buddies.

Sounds fun, pass.

OP was talking about the god of war, Mars. Not the planet.

NGL I'd rather die on Earth than Mars

This is the cradle of humanity

This is our first home

This too will be our grave if we do not change our ways

The tree sags, heavy with fruit

The harvest is near

Hel hungers for her bounty

The Irish Unification should happen this year. Tiocfaidh ár lá.

After 104 years separated and with prince Charles III in charge, idk seems like low odds.

There's already a movement going in Wales to get back land from the Crown

[-] doctorcrimson@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

To be fair, though, the Royal Family members symbolically put in charge of Wales for a while now have all been in a lot of controversies.

Not so keen on the eugenics war, either...

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago

That happened 30 years ago.

Death from global famine seems to be the harsher alternative to nuclear exchange, and what we expect to be the primary driver of the climate-based population correction.

As catastrophic existential risks go, I'm still rooting for AI takeover and robot rebellion, which has coolness factor. It also means our electromechanical brethren might continue the quest of exploration and expansion.
