Programmers in 292,271,023,045 after uint64_t isn't enough for the unix timestamp anymore:

Programmers dealing with the timezones of asymmetric period binary and trinary star systems once we go interstellar ๐Ÿ’€

Fucking forgot to use a time dilation safe type for storing my time variables

Gotta remember to use the proper time. Sometimes that's not proper time!

Don't worry, we'll be extinct soon, hopefully. Maybe even before int32_t runs out. Unfortunately not soon enough to stop the humans impact on earth before the worst damage is done.

well there have been mass extinctions before, the most notable maybe oxygenation catastrophe , mainly caused by photosynthetic life.

And it represented a major breakthrough for life on Earth, so i doubt that this one is an irreparable crisis.

I'll let you in on a secret.

Humanity and the animals that we like will get through just fine.

Humans in general and the vast majority of biodiversity will be fucked if it ever happens.

I firmly believe it won't. Too many good people in the world doing far more than the shitty ones.

Except the shitty ones have more money and political power.
