I tried to look for the post where the author depicts people who share news about genocide and oppose Russia's attack on Ukraine as serial online masturbators who do nothing but press a few buttons and act like they help. I gave up pretty quick, it's mostly just dick drawings and brainrot. My first issue with this artist was when somebody was posting pictures of birds on their community with speech bubbles parroting Kremlin and Fox News talking points, and after I reported them to the moderator, who is the artist, they published their own character speaking the same talking points although slightly more cropped.

    Some people believe there have been five major civilizations before this one. All wiped out by global catastrophes, forcing survivors to start from scratch.

    Any body giving a number is full of shit...

    But, statistically speaking, we're almost certainly not the first human civilization. Modern humans are pretty identical to humans 300k years ago. And while people say we needed the thaw of an ice age, we went thru several cycles over that 300k years.

    Now, if any of them surpassed us or not, who the fuck knows. Probably not.

    But even at our current level, 10-20k years is all it would take to erase pretty much all the evidence we existed. Even stuff like Mount Rushmore would eventually wear away to the point people might say "that kind of looks like a couple faces" and be written off as coincidence.
