    I’m doing research on what part of the body rich people are assholes. I think this device could make a difference! Or a division.

    I’ll be taking this moment to shout out Here Comes The Guillotine.

    Hilarious podcast where Scottish comedians Frankie Boyle, Susie McCabe, and Christopher MacArthur-Boyd talk to each other…hilariously.

    Features some chat about the evils of capitalism, guillotine based reform, and sex worker sleeper agents taking revenge on our behalf after the apocalypse by murdering billionaires in their bunkers.

      Having a private fleet of building-size yachts wasn’t to kill the ecosystem. But it does.

      Imagine getting rid of “the problem” that made all these yacht fleets exist.

        I’m skeptical that all of humanity couldn’t wipe out all plants even if we tried. Plants are hardy SOBs. Their seeds can survive raging forest fires. I think the plants would be back not too long after we’ve wiped ourselves out!

          That is true the natural seed bank built up in the soil does allow places to recover but if we wiped ourselves out chances are we’ve made the world pretty hostile for any form of life

            I sincerely doubt that. We know that life on earth survived much worse than anything we’ve done or could do any time soon. I’m talking about when huge comets crashed into the earth and boiled all the oceans into steam as well as melted substantial portions of the earth’s crust. Life survived that!
