We only have 250.million years to be ready for the next one.

https://www.ncesc.com/geographic-faq/what-will-be-the-next-supercontinent/

The next supercontinent, predicted to coalesce in approximately 250 million years, is most commonly referred to as Pangaea Ultima, though it also goes by names like Pangaea Proxima, Neopangaea, and Pangaea II.

I really enjoy that the article continues and discusses how humans will survive in the middle of the continent. Dinosaurs were killed 65 million years ago. Modern Humans won't be a thing.

Sorry to burst your bubble here pal, but I've been alive for almost three decades in a row and haven't died once. Judging by that, I'm pretty sure I'll still be here in 250 million years.

Not just alive, but with proper data extrapolation, there should be one more of you every almost 30 years.

There will be millions of you around by then!

Good lord. A supercontinent chock full of me. A supercuntinent.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That is undeniable logic. I wish you continued good health.

Thank you! And hey -- the way things are going, all signs point to you being there, too. We're all gonna make it to the new Pangaea!

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sweet!

I hear the middle will be extremely hot and cold. We should remember to not live there.

[–] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Well, maybe, but they do say variety is the spice of life so...

Define human. Yes modern humans aka homosapiens are extinct long before Pangea Dos, but there is still a chance there will be a new species of humans by then. The age of the Dinosaurs lasted 190 million years. The age of Humans could last just as long if not longer. If humans can survive and advance the next 100,000 years they would have the tech to mitigate any mass extinction event.

Only problem is that we are the next mass extinction event. can we survive us?
