    Birds: A 360° turn is a complete circle so they’d keep going in the direction they’re going in.

    I watched a reliable documentary and humans turn into lizards, then leave their creepy babies on a planet alone

              or (hear me out) - get everyone to leave their mortal bodies and be replaced by lizard like limbs (which can grow back)?

        the fungi remember, the fungi know all. The gamma radiation would trigger them to achieve sapience and recreate earth as it was.

    Nobody has taken the fact we humans can basically control our own evolution through science and technology into account.

    If we don’t nuke ourselves, we might just become the Borg in 50 million years.

      we’d be the opposite of the borg, we’d just be vrchat avatars with wifi antennae in our ears. Except for the amish of course, they’d still be doing their thing with larger beards and hair that grows into the shape of a hat.

    In a similar vein, it is so unfair that I won’t get to see the night sky when the milky way and Andromeda collide in 3.5 billion years

      The first fungi were towering giant “trees” of which we’ve found remains. And before they arrived, wood didn’t degrade.

      fungi are like bacteria, they don’t really change in shape. Remember that what we see is basically a limb that drops a bunch of babies, the actual fungi are just filaments in the dirt.

      the only differently shaped fungus i can think of is lichen, which is a compound organism made of a fungus body with algae or cyanobacteria inside it.
      So i guess that’s the most sensible thing for them to evolve into, more complex compound organisms. They already parasitize and control stuff like ants so it’s not that far-fetched to imagine them being part of the full lifespan, and hypothetically this could happen to all animals to the point that it’s as normal as animals having mitochondria (which are separate organisms that were absorbed by our single-celled ancestors).

      Imagine that, having a fungus that’s just utterly interlaced through your body, like a secondary nervous system and extra layer to the immune system!
