What's worse, humanity continuing to exist as a grotesque parody of itself, or outright extinction?
>>318274205
We started out, and still are, a grotesque parody. So extinction would be an act of mercy.
>>318274205
We're finding that out currently, actually.
>>318274205
Extinction would be the best for our race to be frank family member
>>318274303
Humanity isn't finished just because people use their smartphones too much and vote for unqualified politicians.

>humanity existing as a parody of itself
How does that even work?
Humanity has no definition. And do you know how fucking horrible life was just 500 years ago?
>>318274445
You have a very narrow view of humanity, then, if that's all you can think of.
>>318274476
This doesn't mean shit, until you explain yourself. Which you won't, because shitposting is so much easier.
>>318274574
Humanity has been better than ever. It's just a meme to say it's gone to shit.
>>318274532
Peasants had rough lives, but it wasn't really an I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream situation like in Purse-soma.
(For example, this guy got off relatively easy. He didn't go completely insane.)

>>Humanity has been better than ever. It's just a meme to say it's gone to shit.
I don't know about that...I mean, I bet it was the shit to live in the fertile crescent.
>>318274856
No internet. No tasty food.
>>318274205
>humanity continuing to exist as a grotesque parody of itself
Actually following the game it'd beExact copy of itself
>>318274205
For the whole game I was thinking about getting a cool body like Necron or Japanese mecha.
Also Caith is waifu
>>318275179
Only the mind. The game also states that what we think of as a human is composed of mind, body and environment. Without a familiar environment, you have no context. Without a human or human-like body, the mind can't adjust and you go crazytown bananapants.
>>318274935
It was all tasty food. Agriculture was just developed. It was grains and laying around in the sun in your undies, brown girl ass in both hands.
>>318275625
Our current food had undergone centuries of selective breeding. Have you ever seen a banana from the 1500s? Disgusting.
>>318275625
In the fertile crescent you would have been one of the village fools/peasants who would not be given an opportunity to reproduce because you would be a liability to the village and likely be sold off to somebody who wants a fuckboi.
>>318275769
>Have you ever seen a banana from the 1500s?
I have not. Where can I get one?
>>318276060
>>318276185
Same goes with Maize I guess
>>318276185
Did you put a filter on a screenshot? Are you running flux on a smartphone for some reason?
>>318276309
Maize is a new world crop, isn't it?
>>318275625
People were dirty and rather gross back then, their left hands of course are crusted in shit and they were open avenues for disease. The food was centuries behind what we enjoy now and can not compare in the amount of flavor we see in food today.
>>318276380
They're also tiny
This world is meant to end, there is no way around it.

>>318276510
Flavor like ranch dressing on everything?
>>318274205
Extinction is only worse when whatever grotesque parody that exists is static and can never improve by any measure.
>>318276185
not gonna lie
that looks fucking delicious
literally 2 of my favorite fruit in one banana nad sugar apple

>"Can I get some salt for my gruel?"
>"Haha suuuure, let me just walk on down to the lord's house and ask to borrow his cup of salt. Are you crazy? Go to your straw pile without dinner, young man."
>tfw your dad is 20 and your 12 year old mom died during birth
>>318274661
Some things were better, some things were worse. The big difference is now we actually have tools in our hands to end our civilization for good.
>>318276682
No im talking about the use of spices in cooking, the simple action of using spices in food didn't come till much later and because of that the food was very very very bland.
>>318276185
Bananas are dying out, you know?
>>318276813
They had the concept of herbs and spices. I mean, they had beer.
>>318276357
Yeah, helps me sleep better. It's called twilight
>>318276792
Thats living the dream.
>TFW You will not be kept under the iron fist of the local lord's and live in absolute poverty.
>>318276930
Wars were fought over salt and pepper because everything was so fucking bland. More people died because of cinnamon than from terror attacks this year.
>>318277056
Salt was worth more than its weight in gold.
>>318276930
If you wan't to define Sumerian bread beer then sure i suppose, at that point though you are basically putting it on the scale of "well sure they had sugar water so they know how to make flavorful food".
>>318277056
No salt was just the most popular preservative.
>>318276979
You should turn it down a little bit. You can remove most of the blue without turning everything orange.
>>318276874
Not completely true; there's a fungus that can potentially wipe out 80% of the world's bananas though.
Super interesting to think about. I read a book where companies made generically engineered crops and waged war on each other by sowing genetically engineered plant diseases to kill rival company crops... fascinating stuff
>>318277236
Intensity is already really low. I've gotten used to it.
>>318276594
>Heat death
Maybe, Unless universe had more freakish mechanic to offer
>>318277319
A fungus already decimated bananas. We're all eating a variant that was unaffected when the Gros Michel went tits up. Now there's something threatening Plan B too.
>>318277034
>tfw you will never plan a rebellion with the other peasants
>tfw a single armored knight on horseback will never systematically cut and trample each of you down
>he will never then rape everything, EVERYTHING
>>318277752
Why even live?
>>318274791
I hate how he decided you also had to die for some reason. That was dumb.
I let humanity slip into the night, leaving behind only ruins and a satellite that had a bunch of human minds being simulated.
Who knows? Maybe whatever creatures manage to survive and adapt in the world that was left will find what's we left behind.
>>318278275
Or they get captured by crazy AI that torture them for eternity.
>>318278487
Maybe. The satellite could also one day get destroyed by other space debris, or it could short and the simulation ends without warning, or the solar panels could eventually just die, letting the simulation slowly die out as they slowly lose the power needed to support it.
But those aren't really people. Those are memories and simulations. Even if they generate new experiences, they're not genuinely human.
Humanity was dead when the impact happened. Even if WAU hadn't gone crazy, the population of Pathos II was not large enough to sustain growth.
>>318279243
Are all human on the surface dead?
They should saw the asteroid coming and build a vault or something.
>>318279243
There's probably a continuity of government bunker somewhere in the states people are doing their best to recreate Fallout in, since they had advance warning of the comet. Pathos-II just happened to survive because they were underwater, there were probably SECRET BLACK PROJECTS intended to ensure people did survive.
You all forget: the WAU made simon correctly, or at least witnessed it. Each mistake was eventually corrected in some way, note enemies being less retarded as the game went on.
The WAU eventually will figure it out.
The satellite thing is so inferior to the WAU or just breeding on earth I don't know how the fuck the authors thought that everyone going with it would be believable.
>>318274661
Tell that to our ancestors that could fuck lolis whenever they wanted
>>318281152
Our ancestors married at 12 and died usually by their 20s.
