Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Most other empires didn't have the ability to destroy the ecosphere of the planet they lived on.
The modern empires can do it not just on purpose using nuclear weapons, but also accidentally through climate change.
Life will find a way, but will civilization? And will the dominant species still be humans?
Planet will be fine and livable. It will be different, but livable. Even most nuclear war scenarios will not destroy everything, just most populated areas by now.
Liveable, maybe. But, maybe miserable. Like, the planet was liveable for hunter-gatherers during the ice age, but lives were short and brutal. We could be headed back in that direction.
Yep. And yep.
Does any of that matter to the planet? Like any of the ancient plants and critters that have come and gone, humans will have their time and then pass from existence and memory. Something new and different will replace us.
Such is evolution.
Does any of that matter to the solar system? I mean, one of the planets has some molecules that combine in complex ways. Big deal.
No it does not. Nor does the universe bother about galaxies. The point is that all things that exist have their time under the sun and then pass so something new and different can take it's place.
It's huberous of the highest order to think everything will continue on as it is right now, And to try and preserve it all for your personal comfort.
"Huberous"?
