Corvids evolved beyond the need for physical form.

All that remains are echoes.

They fuckin peaced like the dolphins in Hitchhiker's Guide.

Such an incredible story. The nursery scene is my favorite

Nice, was looking for a Children reference 😂

What's this a reference to? It's ringing a bell that I can't quite make out

There's also the radio drama adaptation done in 1950 for Dimension X:

I had the same thought, even down to the Nemoy reading

Oh please, if anyone it’s the dinosaurs coming back for round 2.

Birds are everywhere, many birds are fucking smart and already using tools and doing maths, all they need is seed, they have prior experience. End of story, dinosaurs are back.

They can cute their way into your house too

Didn't Japan also import raccoons because of a TV show and they went fucking up ancient architecture

Really depends on how far the climate spirals out of control. The long term issue is positive feedback loops - when the results of a system produce the conditions that aggravate that same system. So like, arctic permafrost melts and releases methane; methane acts as a greenhouse gas and accelerates global warming; warming makes arctic thaw faster; methane released at higher rate; planet warms faster, more melt, more methane, more heat, and so on.

These kinds of things are already unleashed, so even if humans all went extinct RIGHT NOW and industry and such all came to a 100% full stop... the climate would still continue to destabalize on its own.

So... when we reach a point that spells the end for humans, we'll be crossing the threshold for other mammals too... I don't see racoons or baboons surviving.

Eventually, something will interrupt the feedback loop - i.e., the permafrost thaws completely and there's no more methane to release; but factor in all feedback loops and who knows how much heat we're talking - it could literally end with the Earth becoming molten.

My money's on bugs. They'll be a ble to survive conditions that animals can't. And if bugs get wiped out too, there's potential stemming from things like tardigrades or other microbes.

Or... we pump so much heat into our planet that even the most extreme of those die off too, leaving earth as just another completely lifeless rock floating through space.

Life, uh, finds a way. Until it doesn't.

It was out of orange juice before the extinction.
