Eh I doubt it. Every single nuke ever built combined still doesn't come close to the power of the Chicxulub asteroid (the one that killed the dinosaurs) and even that impact didn't come close to eliminating all life on Earth. Unless someone accidentally compresses a mountain into an artifical black hole or something there probably is no way to wipe out all life on Earth.

I do not follow Formula 1, I just stumbled across this post browsing the main page. Why does the person in 1st have twice as many points as the next runner up? Is this a quirk of how Formula 1 scoring is done or did they actually just win by that much?

The main advantage of early guns wasn't that they were more powerful, it's that they were easy to use. You can train someone to fire a gun in a day, while it takes months of training just to get an archer strong enough to draw a bow.

Also the whole "the Europeans were dirty diseased peasants" thing isn't accurate, and I have to say that IMO the right response to racist depictions of indigenous people as unwashed savages isn't to just turn around and say "actually the stereotypes are correct it's just that it's about the Europeans this time".

And Indigenous people had more advanced technoglogy than many give them credit for but "The Europeans were technologically behind indigenous people in nearly every way. " is just blatantly wrong.

I do think you're right though that without smallpox and other diseases the Europeans wouldn't have colonised the Americas, though there were several other major factors in it.

P.S. I'm not a historian, grain of salt, etc.

There are also some ants that farm certain types of fungus! It's really cool.

Nope, sauropods were already right up against the limit of what's physically possible for a land animal on Earth. If they were that chonky they would have been too heavy and would have overheated just from their body heat.

Oceangate as well.

Is it truly a victory if you don't drink the blood of your vanquished foes?

Yeah, and it's even higher than it appears at first cause the scale only goes up to 80%. So >30% of responders don't think they can beat a rat in a fight.

But how do you get the bold text?

Woah how did you get your username like that?

Oh neat. I watched the anime version a while ago, but I didn't read the original. If I ever get back into the series I'll check your community out.

Neat, thanks.

killer samples -> given more agressive music, codecs might fail. There are some examples on hydrogenaudio.

Can you clarify what this is? Are there songs that cannot be stored in mp3 form? I tried searching it but I just got a bunch of results about murder instead.

ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

Oh damn, nice. I also finished the campaigns (Neter and AotE) this year, though I definitely couldn't do it on Very Hard- I had some trouble even on medium.

Sure why not. I haven't really built anything optimized recently though, so I might have to send an old design. Do you want to do a land, sea, or air battle? (or maybe space?)

Bruh this is Lemmy you can say suicide and blood.

Huh, didn't expect to run across another FTD player in the wild. Hi!

I mean yeah it makes sense. Agriculture is the foundation of sedentary civilizations; in a medieval world like FR the vast, vast majority of people would be farmers; and without food everything else just falls apart.

I read the first 15 or so chapters, then stopped because Harry was just a completely insufferable Mary Sue. I see a lot of people praising for the ideas behind it but the actual writing itself is pretty bad.
