"Pugs are now distinct from typical dogs due to severe health issues, as per a study. These adorable creatures have significantly deviated from other dogs, facing elevated risks in their airways and eyes, posing a threat to their overall well-being."

#4 - eh, no. Technology changes are exponential. And the same will apply to those of us living now - if the planet survives another 1000 years we will look like we were living in the Stone Age to the people living then.

Marvin, I dont think so. Basic needs stay basic needs, the most essential things in life have nothing to do with technology. It would require an incredibly disciplined and educated society to maintain something like constant technological growth. Meanwhile the population is increasing, resources decreasing. I actually believe the only realistic longterm future for humanity, is an indigenous lifestyle.

Penelope, sorry but we are not all going to die from overpopulation.
Our plant food has evolved. Our food crops yield substantially more from even a few hundred years ago, in large part because mendelian genetics. Just Google corn produced by the Roman vs now. Better plowing and crop rotation have also substantially increased yields over time.

Penelope,
As populations become more advanced and wealthy, their birth rates go down. No longer need to have 10 kids to work the farm knowing at least a few of them will die.

Marvin,
Is this a joke? It has to be a joke. The post is only referring to the events chronologically. It has nothing to do with the tech or advances.

#9 They don’t taste the same. The texture is the same. If you block your sense of smell, you aren’t tasting anything.
#12 She didn’t outlive sliced bread. Sliced bread is still going. She was just older than it when she died.

# Hashtag is the official name I was taught in English class. We used to laugh because it had "HASH" in the name.

Virdie, but isn't it only a hashtag when used with text to add a tag? i only knew the symbol itself as a hash (named after it's criss cross pattern) or a pound (because of some obscure teletype code being used for computers). or sometimes it would just be called the number symbol, which was extra odd because we have ‘№’ already? meh, symbols be derpy
