So long, and thanks for all fish

[-] MiDaBa@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

If you've ever read the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy then you'd already know these bastards are just gonna peace out when things get real. So long and thanks for all the fish they'll say as they abandon us to our untimely demise.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

They did warn humanity, but they talked to the only sane human on the planet who couldn't convince anyone else.

What else are they supposed to do?

[-] trashboat@midwest.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

I for one welcome our new dolphin overlords

[-] bricklove@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Crows can use tools and won't need vehicles to travel. Dolphins don't stand a chance.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

rape, rape everywhere

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

You're forgetting octopi, otters, squids, and maybe ants or other social insect.

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Octopi are fundamentally against the concept of society. Squid are more open to it but are hard pressed to achieve anything since they die after mating.

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

Cuttlefish? And crabs!

There is a sciemce fiction book on that, from Ray Bradbury.

[-] Panamalt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Nah, they'll peace out as soon as the bulldozers show up

[-] invertedspear@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

So I’m sure how we conceive of being the dominant species is biased. But if we talk about civilizations and their ability to eventually propagate beyond earth, I don’t think dolphins have it. Their ancestry tried out land and said “nah, back to the water”. Not to mention anything we do that takes humans out of the equation entirely is going to probably kill off the dolphins, apes, elephants, basically most of the mammalians. It’ll be so long before something evolves to take our place as “earthlings” all our works will be fossils at best

[-] YouAreLiterallyAnNPC@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

On this note; given that it's suspected that Earth has only a good ~800 million years or so left, that may not even be enough time for another sentient species to emerge with enough time to become technologically sufficient enough to .. avert extinction -- much less undo some of the damage that we have done. We have to grapple with the idea that if we fail as a species, we'll be the only and last sentient species on Earth to have emerged. Or as I like to call it: Get filtered, nerd.

[-] druidgreeneyes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Sadly I can’t seem do find it anymore, but there used to be a fake org called the anti-dolphin coalition, claiming that dolphins were in control of all world governments and could kill you with brain lasers or something, among all kinds of other lunacy. It was a good chuckle back in the day.

Don't malign the whole species from some evildoers. ADAB - All Dolphins Aren't Bad

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Dolphins are smart enough to know that "taking over" just means responsibility and stress.

[-] Beacon@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago

Nah it won't be dolphins, they don't have appendages that can do fine manipulations

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Two words. Prehensile. Penis.

[-] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

The dolphins and octopods will go to war over who inherits the earth

[-] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

*octopodes (pronounced, I am reliably informed, like a Greek hero!)

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 1 points 2 weeks ago

My money's on squid. Super intelligent. Social. Fine dexterity.

Wait your turn sea dog. There are at least 5 different flavors of doritos we haven't discovered yet.

[-] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

They could've stopped at Purple and my life would be fulfilled enough.

[-] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Looks like the dolphins are- AND THE SNAILS ARE GETTING IN THE RING WITH STEEL CHAIRS!?

[-] kane@femboys.biz 0 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly it’s not too difficult to do a better job than us

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Nah dolphins would fuck it up too. I don't think they got this.

squirrels will be next

think about it: apes were successful because they had hands (for climbing trees). Guess who else is climbing trees and has tiny little hands? squirrels.

[-] CherryBullets@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Nah, raccoons or another ape is my guess. Raccoon hands are freakishly human.

[-] Contemporarium@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

I have 2 raccoons and their greed will be their downfall. They’re so adorable but I can’t give them loving without them giving me a pat down and checking my pockets for any goodies. Once they’re done mugging me THEN they’re all kisses and hugs hahaha

[-] CherryBullets@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Sounds like my nephew 😂
