Immediate to Short-Term (Days to Centuries)

  • Hours to weeks: Power grids fail; nuclear reactors melt down without maintenance[11].
  • Months to decades: Urban areas flood as drainage systems fail; buildings decay from weather and plant growth[6][11].
  • 100–300 years: Steel structures collapse; concrete buildings crumble[5][7]. Most cities become overgrown forests[6].

Medium-Term (Thousands of Years)

  • 1,000 years: Visible surface structures (e.g., roads, monuments) are buried or eroded. Plastics fragment but persist chemically[5][7].
  • 10,000–250,000 years: Nuclear isotopes (e.g., plutonium-239) remain detectable in sediments and ice cores[7]. Mining tunnels fill with sediment but leave identifiable "industrial fossils"[7].
  • 500,000 years: Microplastics and polymer layers in ocean sediments endure[5][10].

Long-Term (Millions of Years)

  • 1–7 million years: Fossils of humans and domesticated animals persist. Geological strata show elevated carbon levels and mass extinction markers[4][8]. Deep mines and landfills remain as distinct layers[7][10].
  • 50–100 million years: Continental drift subducts surface evidence; satellites decay or drift into space[3][10]. Only deep geological traces (e.g., mine shafts, isotope ratios) might endure[3][10].
  • 250 million years: Next predicted mass extinction eradicates all mammals, including any remaining human traces[9].

Near-Permanent Traces

  • Space artifacts: Lunar landers, Mars rovers, and Voyager probes persist for billions of years[3][10].
  • Radio signals: Human broadcasts travel through space indefinitely at light speed[5].

Key Factors

  • Detection likelihood: Aliens or future species could find traces for 100+ million years via deep geological analysis or space exploration[5][10].
  • Total erasure: Requires Earth's destruction (e.g., solar expansion in 5 billion years)[10].

I was 13 years old when I watched this scene the the theater and I thought Natalie Portman was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

I didn't even register any of the dialect being said.

Climate activists should be air-dropping these over population centers like those radioactive screw worm flies

Ridiculous, there is no need to invent a conspiracy. Isreal and the UK have aligned economic and military interests. There is no jewish shadow banking syndicate pulling the strings, there simply an understanding that the UK benefits from a state like Israel existing in the middle east and that if it didn't exist the UK's ability to project military force would be worse off and UK businesses would be worse off.

How does banking factor into the genocide in gaza, or did you just reach for whatever jewish stereotype came to mind first?

It's extremely easy to criticize Israel without being anti-Semitic and yet you failed spectacularly and have shown zero self reflection after getting correctly called out on it. Pathetic.

Honestly shocked the anti-chemotherapy wing of the wackos isn't bigger.

I know it's there, but it's not as major as the flourid/baccines/chemtrails sections.

Probably because the odds of getting cancer are pretty good and they're less confident that they won't ever need treatment for it.

Can you give me an example of a democrat saying something this Islamophobic anr calling for someone's deportation?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I think it requires a total rewrite. Needed to be more like The Thing but with spies and skrulls.

I don't know all the details but I've seen the word 'monster' associated with him
