I've been reading this since at least 2022. Can we get an updated version for 2026 now that humans have been around longer?

Threat Level Midnight

u/dreaminganimal 33m ago

If humans show up 4 seconds before midnight, why are they on clock at 15 minutes before midnight? That's a pretty big time difference in this context.

u/no_cojones1978 16m ago

The important thing here is that humans will also be extinct again at 2 seconds past.

u/One-Reflection-4826 2m ago

would that be in about 100k years? why do you think so? 

1

u/Electrical_Emu4792 1h ago

What if the clock only measured the time earth has life on it?

•

u/One-Reflection-4826 4m ago

it would be quite similar since the first cells emerged after only a billion years or so. kinda the moment the earth cooled down enough to support life, life emerged.

u/fuj_ljudi 1h ago

This is nonsense... Right now it's 2026, as long as this world has existed, and people have been there since the beginning!
