I don't think humanity is going to make it another 600 years tbh

I think humans might, but we won't have fancy skyscrapers, we'll be living in bunkers hiding from whatever disaster (war, plague, radiation, alien invasion) is on the surface.

An alien invasion couldn't possibly make things worse.

I find it odd that natural disaster isn't on your list considering it's by far the most realistic scenario. Hell, it's already happening.

I guess the word "natural" isn't very accurate for a climate disaster, but still, it's not on your list.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

Technically, climate change by itself isn't what will destroy civilization, its the aftermath, mainly, the crops wouldn't be able to grow properly in a fucked up temperaure, weather, ecosystem...

Similar to "old age" in humans, nobody "dies of old age" in of itself, rather, its the complications that result from old age.

We sure are a dumb species. We’re able to construct all this stuff using the world around us but we can’t seems to figure out working together instead of constantly competing
