“Galactic cannibalism” is the most hardcore thing I’ve ever heard of.

Actually, it would only be related to cannibalism if the galaxy swallowed the same kind of galaxy.

Makes me think... Eating people would definitely be a solution to overpopulation. Why is there no film or series about this topic? Soylent Green is not what I meant, btw.

Not what you meant, but surprisingly exactly what you described. I agree though, Soylent crossed with, like, Cannibal Holocaust and The Purge would be very watchable. Get Eli Roth on that and you can have my money.

Andromeda is approaching our galaxy, so we’re next on the menu

Our own galaxy has consumed many other galaxies during its evolution. This is not surprising that it happens in other larger galaxies. We can see remnants of ancient galactic cores, sometimes in retrograde orbits, a strong indicator of their capture by our galaxy; up to a quarter of globular clusters were accreted this way.

I read threads like this and I think about how hard pressed I'd be to find a more profound waste of time; for the people having the conversation, for the people reading it, and the people responding to it. I hope we're all at work at least so we're getting paid.

I'm sure by then, if we survive as a species, English and even Ancient Greek writing and nomenclature will be a long forgotten relic. There will be fragments of myths that recall long lost myths of this era.

Climate change is inevitable. If humans weren’t here, the earth still would have gone through changes. Surely we have expedited the process, but would have happened regardless.

Surely, it is "recent" that has to be in quatations.

IIRC, despite the number of stars involved, it is exceedingly unlikely that the collision between the two galaxies leads to a single collision between objects from the two galaxies.

But wait, if galaxies eat, then they must also poop right? :P

Yeah, I mean there will always be some stuff - like "we started writing about 4 billion years ago", "internet was invented about 4 billion years ago" and "Our species closest ancestors evolved about 4 billion years ago".

oh god

How does this work? Do you like, dig a hole, put some lube in there, and, yknow, or what?

I have so many questions, that, weirdly, I really want answered.
