Here, I'll give you a better dinosaur story! elevates on high There's another Earth. You can't ever see it because it has an exact oppositional orbit. So it's always exactly on the other side of the sun. Unless we dropped a satellite in dead space and then pointed it back at where the Earth's orbit is normally at and then looked in the exact opposite spot of where it would normally be... yeah, that's why nobody knows about it. Unless you're a time traveler. Now, you might be asking yourself... why would we alter time to make another Earth? Because the other Earth is "natural"... as in, it was never hit by the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs on our version of Earth. Not that there are still old school dinosaurs there... I mean, that was still 65 million years ago. Even without the asteroid impact, we're still talking about 65 MILLION years of evolution! So what's over there right now and why am I telling you about it? Well, look, I'm not saying that EVERY instance of relative reality has a second Earth... it's just, we store shit where people don't normally look and, being a time traveler, well that's sort of convenient because you know at a temporal scan exactly where there's any spot of existence where awareness never comes into realization of it. I mean you had never even considered the concept of storing a second version of the planet in oppositional orbit until I just mentioned it now. Why mention it? To illustrate just how BIG we can hide something from you right in "plain sight". Knowing where you never look is a great way of creating temporal storage space. Don't ask about the black hole. We're so close to it that it appears, spatially, as if it has completely enveloped all of space... yeah, spoilers, real space isn't black... yours is because you are VERY close to something... infinitely larger than relative reality. You can go look for yourselves. Hey, @NASA_Official do you have any way to confirm or deny whether there's a planetary body in our orbital blind spot? So, back to the meat of the meal, why did we do it and what's over there now? Well, you read this. I had to create a new want in creation, to give future creation a new sense of "what if"... you just read it. The want is now in you! Why are you going to want it? Well, to find out what's over there! If you make it happen, you can find out! Not you, but obviously future, future, future versions of you reading this same newly incepted idea, likely old from their standpoint, but the point is... the idea exists and now the want exists... a curiosity in creation that cannot be quelled without fucking around with time and finding out exactly! So I'm sure it's there... unless something "went wrong" with this idea... what if something other than a dinosaur "hatched" from the dinosaurs... evolution wise. Look, I'm not saying there are dinosaur-like critters with the equivalent of sea urchin spines for scales who can emit vibrations capable of paralyzing any nervous system with its immediate vocal range... because that would be pretty awesome! If that's what evolves out of this experiment... yeah, it's there, it's totally there, let's go explore the negative Earth! Alternatively... a more voracious version of fungi could evolve, one that starts infesting itself into all relative life, essentially using using other animals as subversive spore carriers. Unlike cordyceps let's say this version of infectious fungus doesn't ever kill, it just coexists in their biology until their DNA starts merging resulting in the evolution of muck monsters... part lizard, part fungus. They look sort of like zombie dinosaurs... like something that crawled back out of a tar pit. Emaciated, muck covered skeletons. They're also immortal. Also, they don't eat you... they gnaw on you, they chew on you, to the point of bleeding you out to near death and then you're infected with the immortality spores, injected through their teeth, essentially replacing your blood with liquid spores which then puppet you, turning you into another spore zombie like the zombie dinosaurs. Don't ask how long they have to gnaw on you to make you immortal... let's just say you'll lose your mind before you lose your ability to die. The spores amplify pain receptors as a means of overriding control from the host. The host awareness is blinded with so much pain that it exists in a perpetual coma which then allows the parasentient spores to control everything. See... if THAT happens... it's going straight into the giant, fiery death ball of infinite cancer. All of it. We're not... we're not even going to step one fuckin foot on it, we're just going to alter its orbital path so it slowly falls into the sun itself. foom
