[β] Tugboater203@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) The Earth will shrug us off and carry on. It would be interesting to see what's next. I suspect a marine mammal, jellyfish, or crab people. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] brsrklf@jlai.lu 24 points 2 years ago* (2 children) Fun fact : this was the (slightly hidden) premise for Splatoon. Those happy, colourful descendants of squids and other marine animals are playing paintball over the ruins of our civilization, long after human extinction. They worship an old fax machine they found, too, for some reason. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago They worship an old fax machine they found, too, for some reason. That tracks. Fax technology probably will outlive us all. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Pandantic@midwest.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Holy shit, is this for real?!

It was revealed mostly through a couple of "scrolls", rewards in the single player mode. There was a human fossil (somehow petrified while playing Wii U) dated 12,000 years ago, and documents from scientists warning about global warming and oceans rising. Last scroll was a message from a scientist, "the professor", in the middle of the big extinction event 10,000 years before Splatoon. At that point all land life would disappear very soon. The professor did the logical thing and saved his cat. permalink fedilink source parent
