    I’ve literally had this argument on lemmy multiple times. It always goes like this:

    Me: [some comment to the effect of “the planet is dying”]

    Them: the planet will be fine. Yes all life will perish, but the earth itself will continue.

    Me: . . .

    Them: What. It’s just the fact. Don’t worry about the planet.

    Sometimes they quote Carlin without realizing it and without context so to them it’s not a joke about how fucked up we are, it’s a simple truth without any additional layers. It’s a little boggling.

    So…. If I’m reading this right, because the giant ball of acid that eats spacecraft before they can do any meaningful exploration on the surface remains a ball we don’t have to worry about becoming more similar to said ball of acid?
