It does get stored once it's in the ocean, by things like underwater plants, plankton, and coral, and the scenario you've laid out is not going to happen within our lifetime. We've been increasing carbon emissions for 100 years or more and acidity has only decreased 0.1 ph (7 is neutral and it's gone from 8.11, to 8.05, so still basic)... Also some life forms don't have as much of a problem with slightly more acidity.

All in all it's slow enough that evolution will have some adaptive responses.

I think the heat will get us before the ocean gets too acidic. But I mean, it's all doomerism isn't it? Doomerism is a dime a dozen.

Eschatology is a popular trend. We just keep peeling that onion.

So animals evolve towards being crabs, operating systems evolve towards being linux distros?

How come The Onion is never on Reddit's front page?

That would only reverse time for him... Which to the people in the frame of reference of the comic, is irrelevant. The only change to them would be the absence of Superman.

So many worlds vs singular timeline is still the question. With relativity suggesting many worlds, and the twin paradox, suggesting a convergent timeline.

...both can't be true, so it's more likely you can't go faster than light and have mass. You would probably just get so fat you blot out and reset the universe. Which is why it's probably important we never try going at the speed of light...

Not that it matters, because destroying the universe would be the SUCCESSFUL outcome. Spaghettification of the equipment/personnel would be the fail state.

One possible outcome of the comic would be a spray of chains of atoms and subatomic particles that used to be Superman, spewing forth at near light speed as it cuts through building, people, and landmass topology (mountain and stuff). A super sonic laser of what used to be Suoerman.

...and that's the fail state. The success would be Superman replaces everything everywhere... Possibly then condensing backdown to a pinpoint explosion of pure energy on deceleration.

Meh, they didn't fear these things, they saw them as present in their own time/society... Because you can make these types of statements/stories at any time:

"I think grug enjoys staring into the forest too much, I do not understand what he sees out there."

"I wish someone other than me would disagree with the tribal elders. I will still disagree, but I will hide it."

Neither of them particularly capture what's going on today.

it might he useful to generate text on the random urls then test different repetitions to see of you can leave a mark on the training data... So after X repetitions or injected information, release the bot back into the wild with whatever message or false info you want it saddled with.

Ahh, is this how grocery prices are going to be cheaper? No health standards? Or is this in preparation for RFK to put vaccines on trial?

Which ever post-truth scenario they go with, I wonder what crimes and rights violations they'll be trying to distract from.

The shifting piles of bullshit cannot be left still, these conman likes it that way. They're trying to provoke reactions as distractions.

Elon does a Nazi salute so them being "dictators on day one" doesn't get as much coverage/impact/memory. Keeps their base ignorant, like a conman who keeps talking, never gives their mark time to think things through.

Tell the Conservatives about the rights violations, tell the Liberals to stop overreacting.

Elon isn't a Nazi, he's doing the Salute as a distraction. Everyone on reddit bans twitter links, so the conservativea can claim censorship. Both sides fall for this narrative shell game. This short circuiting of their ideological minds. But it's all just shifting piles of bullshit. A shell game for Capitalist narcissists.

I guess

"In this country a minority of us hate Nazis, unless the voting machines were rigged, but that might be a post-truth distraction to allow more and more fascist things to sneak through unchecked or distracted from or worn down by".

was too long.

It's not dilluted so much as, this cheap cancer inducing chemical can flavor it strongly for not much money... But we know it's associated with cancer... Good thing we own the FDA too.

.... and then they make a lot of money.
