We almost did go extinct once.

Damn, better luck next time.

We have been in the current (Holocene) mass extinction for a while now. Seems to be going as expected.

True, i just think it’s weird when i see articles like this where we distance ourselves from the rest of the other species on the planet like we aren’t literally animals all the same, facing the same demise

I bet emperor penguins in zoos will make it the longest.

I’m hoping to get into an alien zoo one day to survive humanities demise.
