    yeah good luck with that. I’m taking an umbrella to work just in case.

    Yeah, we probably won’t even notice, even if we hadn’t been extinct for millions of years.

    • sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      That’s just the kind of lax attitude that might get us extinct

    Have a nice cold pint and wait for this whole thing to blow over.

  I'm more than happy to jump over to whichever side is winning. Got my Andromeda flag ready to fly as soon as things start leaning in their favor.

  I’m going to put in my request for that day off now. That way if they try to tell me 4.5 billion years from now that I didn’t put in my request soon enough, I’m fucking done.

  It’s still iffy on of they’re going to give me the day of the 2038 bug off. I requested off for January 19th 2038 in 2017. Fucking enshitification.

    Oh man, you should ALSO have taken off 1.1.1970 (IIRC) to get that day off.

  Do we have insurance for that?

    Hmm, mine specifically excludes acts of Astraios

  I’m busy that day.

• Lemming421@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

  I’ll take a personal day. Maybe I’ll watch, maybe I’ll just slob on the sofa, we’ll see…

  I’ll be pooping

  • ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    I’m scared. I don’t want to poop alone when the time comes. Will you be my poop buddy?

    source

    • cocobean@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Only if we can hold hands

  I’m going to enjoy making up new constellations every so many years and using them to mess with people who are into Astrology.

  • sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Ugh, making up new constellations is my least favorite part of galaxies colliding.

• Sam_Bass@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

  Doesnt matter i wont be around in a form capable of communicating any notice

  source

  • sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Not with that attitude

    source

    • Sam_Bass@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Yeah the attitude is realism. Not for everyone obviously

  I expect I’ll remain dead unless the eldritch energies unlocked by the collision results in my resurrection.

  If I do return to life, I suppose I might be very angry at someone or something, and that I will make him/her/it/them regret what he/she/it/they did, in the finest tradition of cinematic heroes who return from apparent death or exile.

  Once I’ve completed my mission of vengeance, perhaps I’ll ride a vehicle or appropriate local domesticated animal towards a local star disappearing over the horizon of whatever planet I’m on, perhaps even with an appropriate romantic partner.

  If all of this comes to pass, I would fully expect to be forced to return to resolve increasingly unexpected conflicts ad nauseum.

  As I go, I’ll likely start to repeatedly indicate that I’m getting far too old for this nonsense, but I’ll continue to reluctantly proceed in my conflict resolution every time. Perhaps I’ll be able to pass on the fight for justice to another, younger person eventually.

  Like I said before, though, I’ll likely just stay dead.

  My plan is to have been dead for many, many years before it happens.

  There’s a good chance the solar system (or another star system) will be yeeted from milkdromeda, so I guess I’ll move to another star. But who knows if I’ll afford one with a billion-year scale inflation.

  It’ll be so much fun when the Earth gets heated out of orbit by gravitational forces. Just, uh, wear a warm coat.

    is that what happens when galaxies collide?

    source
• Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

  What is there to plan for? All the planets and stars in both galaxies are so far apart that any physical collision is highly unlikely.

    You sound like the grasshopper who didn’t plan for winter.
