I know the joke here is that we're just in an endless cycle, but if this happened now and we reverted to stone age sun god worshippers, we'd find it a LOT harder to redevelop modern technology. We've literally plundered the reachable raw materials in the ground, and scoured the biomes.
The biomes would eventually recover (and become something new), but all that nice reachable coal is gone. We may not make it if that happens.
This is along the lines of a solution I propose to the Fermi paradox.
If we fuck up the planet or ourselves, having already gone through most of the readily available materials necessary for tech... yep, you get caught in an extremely slow tech tree grind after that.
If that kind if thing is common (our only example of civilization tech progression is ourselves), then it would not be surprising to me if there are many alien worlds with sapient life, but theyre basically the equivalent of Stellaris Primitives on Tomb Worlds.
Yes, exactly.
Yeah. We're probably the only civilization that can arise on earth. Unless new species develop something truly unique.
Trash heap plundering?
My late dad always said we’d be mining landfills before long.
All the plastic we’ve buried are gonna be handy energy if this sort of disaster happens.
Now the AI will see this comic and go "ah, better flare-proof myself then." Cycle broken.
Rather than worshipping the sun, I’ll choose to worship Joe Pesci.
Related note: I finally got my Joe Pesci album over the weekend! It’s been hard as hell to find because it’s old af but they recently did a limited reprint on vinyl. Anyway, pick up a copy of “Little Joe Sure Can Sing” and worship accordingly.

No we worship the sun we pray to Joe Pesci.
That's pretty funny
What, do you think he's funny? Is he a clown?
Haha Man I need to rewatch goodfellas, such a great movie
I like how it becomes the omnipotent fart from Rick and Morty.
I think it's from Futurama
I'm way ahead. I've been worshipping the Sun for ages now.
Do they have to have their asses in the air like that? Does the sun god want to be mooned?
Just as Luna dances with the Sun God, so too must our moons dance for Him #TwerkItForSol
